If my 37 didn't turn into the money pit and poor experience it did(still is) I would maybe consider having another car done.   I don't think I have it in me.

 

The 1955 Estate Wagon production numbers:

 

Special:   2952  (1650 in 1954)

Century:  4243  (1563 In 1954)

 

Like I said it ain't "pretty" but production numbers are fairly low.   

Looks like they designed the car to be a hearse and offered it as a "passenger" car to the public.

Is that 55 wagon really a Century?   Shouldn't it have 4 fender port holes?

 

Kinda an ugly beast but sometimes that doesn't matter.   It's alot of car.


Ohp, sure enough!  I didn't look closely enough, ha.  I would put this rig squarely into the "wow it's so ugly - I LOVE it" category!
