i know !!! i know !!! why don't we take a 55 nomad and turn it into a 4 door !!!some things aren't meant to be messed with. some folks like all that george barris stuff too, not me, yecchhh.
I have to kinda agree with Wayne, we each put down our money and after that it's your choice. The wagon is about the same as turning a Vette into a Pro Mod, Funny car or I've even seen one as a mud bogger on a four by four chassis.

Ah !! The missing piece is that Canadians don't have the cultural background
to understand the origin of the ' shooting brake' design.
Was popular when I was younger, and used by the landed gentry when they
did infact go shooting on their estate. [ pheasants/partridge etc. NOT, I repeat
NOT hunting peasants !! ]. Vehicle often had bench front and rear seats and lots of
room behind the rear seats, often 5 ft. or more.
......drum ...different
seriously, what does interest me is the history of the "breed"
less interesting is how modern car makers try to revive the idea
although I think the Ferrari and Volvo efforts have some appeal. Then again if we all had the same views this would be a very boring world.
Rather that going the station wagon look, or scoops and such, I'd rather go with an Edelbrock supercharger setup that fits under the stock hood and for a lot less money. I like sneaky fast.![]()
