    I saw a nice 55 Ford 2dr wagon in a junkyard not far from here last summer. It had no engine, transmission or hood but hardly any rust. After a few weeks I thought I should save it from the crusher but I waited too long. It didn't get crushed. the guy said he sold it a few days after I saw it. I keep expecting to see it on the road or at a show but it hasn't turned up yet.

    You were right John. The red and white one above is a 56.

    that could be a 55 but thats a 56 grill
    so i guess 55 56 ford wagons are rare
    in oklahoma city ok any 55 or 56 ford is rare
    when i was 17 i could have got a 56 ford 4 dr fairlane
    all original for 8 hundred bucks decent shape
    i should start on her oneday i worry about
    living and paying bills before i worry about my wagon

    Any restoration take time and money If It were easy we wouldn,t have pride in our rides What I hate is these people will bring a car to the shop to have a ground up restoration and three or four months later cant figure out why It not done shoot my old chevy truck took me 18 years cause of again like with you time and money .the diffrents between you and that friends of mines wagon he bought his that way and your making your that way so relax take your time get it right you got a good plat forum to work with . Im really not that much into cars Im more into old truck but thats a nice wagon ya got there. Well except maybe for that hood scoop he he Im just joke n with ya
    drive it like ya stole it

    the scoop is odd thats what i like about it the interior isnt to bad
    the front needs repaired the backseat is just fine its the original interior i have the original radio clock and cig lighter
    is had a little rust in the drivers side floor not to bad
    my doors need repaired they dont have glass in them
    basically a primer job a good tune up break job
    and tires should be going i am doing everything myself
    so it shouldnt cost as much as a shop would charge me
    i am currently looking at a 64 chevy truck i should have it
    next year

    Duh, the red and white one that John showed was a 56.

    The side trim and the grille give it away.

    I still like your 55, though.
