New wagon guy

[Jfini1942]

That's a sweet looking Nomad, John.. The last time I rode in one was back in '60's. A local guy that I knew used his as a tow car. He would pull his '36 Ford coupe to the track.

I'll have to go back and see how to post an avatar picture. It's been awhile.

Thanks for the reply. I have owned the Nomad for 42 years. I also have an old Ford. It's a 1939 Ford Standard Coupe resto-rod.

Charlie,
I'd have to agree with you there...and with John.. I think the Lemans wagons were the coolest. I especially like the '81 model.

!981 LeMans, the coolest dash.

Now there's a fine looking automobile. I always liked '39 and '40 coupes, sedans, and pickups. Thanks for sharing the pics. You're making me envious. What else are you hiding in your bag of tricks?
The standard coupe is pretty unique compared to the deluxe.

You don't have to convince me. I have one in my Malibu.

My first car was a 40 DeLuxe. Kind of like the ugly duckling Std. No other oldies now but in the past, the bag of tricks contained my first Nomad that I sold while I was building the second one I have now. In the past three years I sold my 1966 Nova street rod that I built from ground up. My 1952 Chevy Coupe, all stock with killer black paint, my 1981 LeMans wagon that I had for 12 years and a 1989 Ford T-Bird Super Coupe I bought brand new. Oh, one more, my 1979 Kawasaki LTD. 1000 motorcycle I bought new. These were my toys. Build till you die we say. Looking for next wagon project. Maybe 57 Ford, Del Rio is neat.

You had some nice vehicles, no doubt. A '57 Del Rio would be a sweet find. There was one that used to show up at the local cruise-in. It was absolutely breathtaking. When I looked at it, I said to the owner, "nice Ranchwagon". He corrected me by telling me it was a Del Rio. Great body style.

Welcome John, nice unmolested wagon there.

As much as I like your Cutlass Cruiser, I love the Nomad. Their one year only big rear wheel openings. The wider fender and door moulding. It was the cleanest one of the 3 year run.
