    Hello everyone. I have just recently joined the Station Wagon forum and look forward to participating in discussions. I am 66 years old, originally from the Pittsburgh, PA area, lived in New England for a number of years and now reside in Charlotte, NC. I am an old car nut but have always had a particular interest in station wagons, having owned several over the years. I currently have several collector cars but no station wagons. I hope that by participating in this forum I might rectify this situation. I am currently actively seeking a restored '59 Chevrolet Wagon, preferably a Nomad. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who might know of one for sale. Thanks and I look forward to the Forum.

    :Welcome:to the forum. You have made a wise choice for your station wagon. Good luck finding a nice one. Lots of members put wagons from adds up so others can look them over and I'm sure there's a nice 59 Chevy looking for you.

    Welcome to the nut house we call home, Garbles. Sounds like you will fit right in. Good luck with the hunt. I've always loved the 59 Nomad. They truly are something special! Have fun around here.

    Howdy Garbles! That's a nice bunch of Chevys you got there! Bet you need another one like a hole in the head! But since we're all a little nuts here, you will feel right at home! :rofl:
    Glad you found us! :Welcome:

    David :)

    1959 Chevrolet Parkwood - $5500 (Hurricane Mills, TN)

    The Chicago wagon seems to be sold. This one is almost within walking distance. Go get it. It ran almost yesterday so should start right up!
    Actually it looks decent in the photo. The tail lights are worth half the wagon!
