The advertised one is a 1960, too new (and too bad condition) but the one next to it might be a candidate - I'll check it out.

You might find that the Prius or Insight drive train will be little light for that tub, I mean car.
A strong four or a small six might be a better deal. Me, personally I would want at least a Mopar 340 in it.

You might be surprised to learn that the Nash wagon weighs around 2500 pounds while a Prius is 2932. The real issue is width, not weight. I believe the Prius wheel tread width is nearly 6 inches wider than the Nash, which will make transplanting the vital organs difficult but not impossible. It just may take 2 wagons (!) to pull this off. Remember the goal is a high MPG daily winter commuter rod, not a show car, hot rod or performance vehicle. I've already got that covered to my satisfaction.
