My favorite long roof in the tri-5s. Good thing you've got to mess with the suspension..................it needs to come down just a bit more.
clone, when I had mine people were often referring to it as a Nomad. I don't understand why given that the only commonality is the two door layout. But here goes. The Nomad is a completely different body from the windshield/A pillar back. It has a hardtop style door rather than the sedan type with the upper framework for the window. The upper B and C pillars slant forward very noticeably rather than being straight up. This in turn causes the side glass to be shaped accordingly which is different. The roof panel has lateral channels in it on the Nomad, the regular wagon does not. The tailgate has ribs with trim on them unlike the regular gate. All of the trim would be very different also because the Nomads are trimmed like Bel Airs whereas this one, for example, has much less trim. Handyman wagons should be 150 which this on looks like with a piece missing on the quarter, and the 210s have more trim but still less than a Bel air. Nomad interior would be quite a bit more deluxe as well, but you can't tell that in comparison here. There are more differences but that should be enough for now.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
