I need help deciding....

That said, I look at them as savings accounts. Plus, if you buy and sell a few, people know, the word gets out. That's why they called me for the 58 Brookwood wagon above.

Thats how I got the line on these 2 wagons! LOL that brookwood is in pretty decent shape!!!

Personally I'd go cutlass for the price

Definitely a better buy!!

Yeah, it's too bad you couldn't buy them both, but I can fully understand why you can't.
Personally, I would go for the Cutlass Cruiser. I think they're a rarer car, but the downside is that parts for them might be a little harder to come by. Chevy parts are a little more plentiful, but all wagon stuff is getting harder to come by.

I personally would get the Olds and swap the dual headlamp header panel for the single headlamp panel .. I think they look a lot better...just my opinion.
In any case, go for the one that needs the least amount of body repair. Rust being the major factor in whatever you plunk your money down on.
If you can, could you post a pic of them both?

That '58 Brookwood is cool and getting hard to find these days. I always wanted a '58 Yeoman 2-dr wagon, but I know I'd have to pay up for one.

Good luck! Let us know what you decide. Btw, post a pic of your '59 Biscayne. A friend of mine had one back in the day. All black 2-dr post sedan...awesome ride.

LOL sounds good now I am just waiting on the lady to get back to me ughhhhh, I hate this now that I am ready to buy they want to take their time. I have made my mind up to get the cutty wagon!

Thanks for posting the pics of your '59. That's going to be one righteous ride...
It will be sweet sporting the LS powertrain. I dig the seats and the flush door handles, too...nice! I'm anxious to see how it turns out. 😎

The wonderful wizard has spoken. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
I'd have to agree with you brother. I'm sure he'd be inspired by Jim's and Blake's Cruisers. 🙂

You totally read my mind!!!!!! That is EXACTLY what I said I could do even if she came back and said give me $1000 and you can have it! LETS GO!!!!! LOL

Is there a build thread (links) on the wagons Longroof mentioned?
