If These celebreties shown in that Gallery were the typical car buyer of the day there would have been more European imports than domestic cars on the roads.

Pretty sure it's a 61. Looks like it has the canted headlights. The 61 wagons used the same taillights as the 60's.

I stand corrected. I didn't notice the front fender, and I didn't know '61 wagons used '60 tail lamps. Learnin' new **** every day.

That is one outstanding wagon, thanks for the link mdh157.
When I travelled to the USA in 2011 I spotted a beautiful red 1960 Chrysler wagon ( uncertain of sub-model sorry ) on a transporter in California. I think it was for sale on ebay at the time.
