Ted "Wildcat65" Nagel Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 It arrived Monday! A little ruff inside as expected. I may need a tailgate or some inventive surgery to the hinge area- it is compromised. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted "Wildcat65" Nagel Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) It arrived Monday! A little ruff inside as expected. I may need a tailgate or some inventive surgery to the hinge area- it is compromised. One detail that is interesting- the little "Texan" logo similar to the 1960 Invicta Wagon "Texan" interior. A little nod to that. Edited June 24, 2021 by Ted "Wildcat65" Nagel (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodneybeauchamp Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Ted, nice little wagon. Love the rear end, very unique. Sad that GM decided to upsize their compacts in ‘64 as they were really the right size in 61-63. Really jealous of those 15” wheels, they would look great with the wire wheel covers off a first generation Riviera. Interested to know your plans and follow your thread. FYI there is an active FB forum for these cars. Members seem a mixed bag, some are happy to do the “ gotta fit disc brakes and a Chev 350” scenario but there are enough who keep them as they should be. cheers Rodney 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted "Wildcat65" Nagel Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 Rodney- the wheels are an unexpected surprise. Looked at Coker and they do not list a 15" for this car. Wonder how my supercats would look ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few convert them to five stud but that means drilling the axles. Have seen four spoke Cragars that look good, but think what you have there is spot on.
