A couple of rare ones ....a 1960 Ford wagon that is for sale and a 1957 Buick that I always thought had neat styling . I know the tri-5 Chev Nomads get lots of love but I like the Buick .

That orange '55 looks good.
Also the 1960. When was the last two door wagon for any company?
Must have been around '60 or '61.

teejay99 · BELLE RIVER, ONT

61 for Ford ...not sure about other brands .

I can honestly say I will NEVER own a Ford, but that wagon has some real nice lines to it. I don't think I've ever seen one.

teejay99 · BELLE RIVER, ONT

I would have to look it up but I'm thinking only a few hundred 2 door wagons were made in 1960 , quite rare , would love to see one with a Boss 9 Jon Kaase motor for gettin' the groceries in a hurry before the ice cream melts .

It's amazing the factory would build the tooling for such a short run. The roof die alone would cost a fortune. Short runs like that would never happen today.

teejay99 · BELLE RIVER, ONT

There may have been a 4 door wagon using the same roof but I'm not really sure ....would have to research it .

jarvis1 · COBBLE HILL, BC

2 door and 4 door probably used the same roof.
The wheel base on 2 doors and 4 doors are all the same.
I have a '94 Caprice SS wagon. Everyone says how long it is.
It's an illusion. Same length as a car.

I wonder if this wagon will sky rocket in price like a 21 window VW????????

teejay99 · BELLE RIVER, ONT

Not many of those around ........workers who drove them probably pounded on them back then .

Smokin Joe · ONTARIO

Rod in Port Hope that had a Cougar wagon sold it last fall. Now that was different for a Ford Cougar.

teejay99 · BELLE RIVER, ONT

Yeah mid 70's ....I had a 76 Cougar 4 door for a couple of years !

That's a really nice wagon. I'm imagining the same car with a couple T37 long doors grafted in......

72endurawagon · KINCARDINE, ONT

the 72 was a Factory ordered car with the endura front end,I put 455 Pontiac into it, I have a 455 buick and 4 speed,12 bolt rear in the blue 64,works awesome,didnt have any newer pics on the comp. but it looks almost the same....

You don't see many of those. Did it still have a Pontiac engine?

I see it is on tire jacks in the picture, are those the ones Canadian Tire sells?

It has a sbc 350 in it now and yes the jacks are the Crappy Tire ones

I've been happy with them but they have started to leak hydraulic fluid now

Rumblegutz · NIAGARA, ONT

"I've been happy with them but they have started to leak hydraulic fluid now"

The name Crappy Tire is well deserved.

I bought mine a few years ago. They started to leak just after the warranty expired. One of them blew the fluid reservoir fill hole plug to God knows where. I didn't have the right size O ring in my selection and I sure don't have a rubber pug. Took the exploded view with I think parts numbers to my local store. Nope, call this 800 number, Master Craft, they make all our stuff, they'll fix you right up. Call the number. Lady say we have no parts we only replace while under warranty.

I bought them because they are much less money than the original Go Jacks. It was still a chunk of change. My mistake. But it doesn't sit well that they sell something that can become useless in a short period of time because you can't get parts.

I know I can probably find the O rings and some sort of rubber plug some where. I'm also assuming the leak is is due to the O rings on that release knob.

I build all sorts of stuff to fund my hot rod project.

The problem is... My project is in it's 7th or 8th year now. Good thing is, I haven't had to touch the bank account.
