Let's see some Wagons!

Found these on Facebook, there wasn't any information shared with the pictures.

Thank you for the tip, it was discovered the ball joints are worn, so I will be rebuilding the front end, will look into this as well.

Makes sense. “Check obvious things first”. Good luck!

My "66...a good amount of work this past winter is paying off. It's running good and I'm cruising the beach.

That’s beautiful. It’s just exactly how it was supposed to be used. Loaded to the gills. Form follows function.

Really? I think he must have been doing burnouts and lost control once................................

 

[sixpkrt]

He doesn't lose control.

 

[saforwardlook]

He doesn't lose control.

Well, at least they are easier to fix than rust! What is that silly wheel on the wagon for??

Herres a odd one for you . You would think this is station wagon based but it is based on a 4dr sedan . A 64 service car by Flxible. But since it was going to be modified the sedan was a cheaper starting point than a wagon . I purchased it from the original owners a few months ago .

Dan, aren't most hearses and ambulances made from 4 door cars? A lot of them are Cadillacs and Cadillac doesn't make a wagon from the factory.

It won't be here long. The 71 U Code NYer will be back here soon.
The wagon belongs to @Xenon.
He should start a thread in the Member's Projects & Restorations section.

@Xenon — will you start the thread and bring the car to Volo?

Cadillac made a commercial chassis up to 84, basically a chassis with a front group and few other parts shipped to a coach builder. Ones not based on Cadillac's usually where a stripped 4 dr and depending on the year it was a stripped heavy-duty chassis similar to the Cadillac. Sedan delivers and station wagons where a starting point for some builders also. My ambulance is a commercial chassis with coach work by M-M (Miller Meteor), my Olds is C/B (Conter Bevington) built on a 65 98 .C/B even made new frame rails when they lengthened the chassis.

I will try.. Still sorting out a few things as well as getting it cleaned up...

Here is @sixpkrt cleaning off the old insulation off the roof in rear...
I did all the area in the front 1/2 ... Going to put "fat mat" up there
then a new headliner instead of the nasty hardboard ....

Cleaned all the old insulation off so we could put "FatMat" up....
Doing it outside in the sun we could definitely feel the difference ..
a LOT cooler..............................

Here getting its first good wash in about ten years or so....
And yes,, that IS a hose in the pic ....

How are you doing a headliner in the wagon? Fabric with bows and such...or some other type?
