I am thinking about...

.... a wagon! Not even a Mopar! I have a thing for wagons.. what can I say. I have been pondering this for awhile now -3 years or so and I think I might go get it! I have no clue what year it is and I think it has sat for 40+ years. I also see a lot of potential to be a cool beach cruiser! no all I need is a damn beach! It says Pontiac 8 inside, but thats all I know. The body isn't too bad. missing a tail gate, floors need work, but it is almost all there! So guys WIW? I haven't an idea! NOTHING! lol I don't know much outside of mother mopar, but this thing is cool! Anyone know anything about it? How hard is it going to be to get a damn tail gate?

I was thinking doing a wood floor, cream and yellowor red body. Come on guys whatcha thinkin!
P.S. dont hold back if it seems like a pile!

I really don't know what it's worth, but man have you got ambition to wanna tackle that!  j/k. If you really wanna do it, parts maybe/probably are harder to find than certain Mopar parts. Good luck if you go for it.

lol, yeah. The best thing about this is I know everything is toast! I have no false hope of salvaging anything mechanical! The mistake I made when I decided to go big block in the coronet...

The hood ornament looks to be a Pontiac, & the body style looks early 1950's. From what I can recall, I'd say 1953 maybe?

Looks 53 to me! Thanks for the link!

That would make a cool Beach cruiser!  You can build a tailgate from wood. I have a pic somewhere around here of an old Chevy wagon [around the same year] with a wood tailgate.

Good Luck!
