Don't see many of these. Rear facing 3rd row seat, too.

The floors are probably toast. Under the best of circumstances they rust bad. Sitting in a field has to make it worse. Very cool wagon though.

The hood can be straightened....

it sure could, but I would NOT trust the repair in that area once it was painted up

Man those are way cool wagons. Replacing the rear curved side glass could be a concern.
A very cool wagon!

Not really. All the Mopar wagons from 57-59 used the same glass. Could probably find one with a couple of phone calls.
I'm sure the floor pans are toasted too. But we know that you know what to do about that Chris. We,ve seen it.
This car would be a "labor of love" restoration. But MAN....... What a special car you'd have.
Done right these cars will pull 45-60K restored. About what it will cost to do.

the 59 Plymouth looks like as if it just needs more air in the front tire and then drive it off
That looks very good!

Looks like Ross already touched up the roof.

Thank you for the rear window lesson bluefury361, knowledge is a wonderful thing. There is a '58 for sale in NZ which I now know has the same shaped window
That's a gorgeous wagon

Is that the normal procedure for an export model, or has this been put together over the years with several cars?
Below is the link if anyone is interested in having a look. It's not mine or anyone I know.

The 1957-58-59 Mopar wagons and suburbans all shared the same glass and many of the body componants, both domestic and export.
The Desoto fireswept shared a chassis with the Dodge.

Everywhere outside the US you get more or less regular looking Dodges and Desotos as well as the Dodge Kingsway and the Desoto Diplomat which are actually Plymouth, they just have a Dodge or Desoto front end
