Is this car down there with you? If so, can you keep the board updated as to any progress? I am really interested in how the front door glass frame was done (possibly as the CROWN VICTORIA - NOMAD was done). THANX!

Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
To answer KULTULZ question, this is not an Australian Ford Station Wagon. The first year that Ford Australia offered a full size Station Wagon was 1959. It was only available as a four door Ranch Wagon and was sold from 1959 to 1961 with the only change being the grille and slight change to the rear chrome trim. |

Much later on, it came to mind that a 2-door wagon might just be a brilliant strategy in marketing/competitivity. Here, you can have three backseat passengers if needed, without the extra expense of two back doors AND have the ability to fold down the back seat into a large cargo area when needed also. I would assume that the 2-door wagons would have been less expensive than the 4-door wagons? Last edited by Daves55Sedan; 04-15-2018 at 01:35 PM. |

Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
Here is a very rare and unusual Two Door Station Wagon, a Canadian 1960 Frontenac. They were only made for one year, and sold by Mercury Dealers. It was replaced in 1961 with the Mercury Comet. Very rare in this body style. |

Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
Has anyone noticed the HDL DOORS on this car? They have been cut down and while improving the HDL appearance (IMO) the car still has BUG-EYES...

Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
Chopped, shaved and slammed. But it shows one can be done - 1956 FORD PARKLANE CROWN - Pump the tires up and put the door handles on and it will make a nice custom...

Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
How do you like this 1955 Ford Park Lane Station Wagon that someone has made using the trim parts from a 1956 Ford Park Lane. Looks very sweet. |

Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
Yes, very nice looking car. Made from a Ranch Wagon. The side stainless trim is from a '55 Fairlane. '56 side trim was wider, like the Park Lane in post #197.

Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
The modification(s) were very tastefully done IMO.
The color keyed wide steel wheels and correct hub caps look great on the car... Love to see the engine compartment.
