That's my younger Brothers 1963 belair.
I will have to ask him if I can post it on the forum.

Been a Chevy man like forever, and evolved to feel the same for all GM as the best all around. I liked every Chevy and most BOPs. Once I got a GMC I looked over the Pontiac history, which really goes back to Oaklands, I now feel I'm a GMC/Pontiac guy... if I ever buy another car. I just like the matched pair thing.
So...

The bright work on that blue wagon is awesome. The trim on the tailgate is great!

Safari Wagon!!!

I always always always loved and wanted a '55 Chevt Nomad, meaning ever since I was a kid. But once I realized Pontiac had their version in the Safari (cool name!)... Even better!

**special-K** · 02-12-2019, 07:36 AM

We spell excitement, PONTIAC! '55s

straight6chevyguy · 02-12-2019, 04:13 PM

Well here it is! My Brothers 1963 Chevrolet Belair. 230 I6 3speed manual.
It needs lots of work and a engine rebuild but he plans to get it running someday!

**special-K** · 02-12-2019, 07:18 PM

Hey, what about that Mercury in the background?

Just kidding, roundy round we go

. Is that the original paint or original color. Maybe my memory's bad (maybe?), but looking now it seems an uncommon color on a wagon of that era. I do remember riding in Chevy wagons like that when I was a kid.

The Johnsen's '62 in the background:

Looks like someone shot the poor thing in the hood, or got shot in the hood!

My dad and our wagon across the street. Don't know the significants of the cart in the foreground.

I guess the shopping carts weren't as easily available for the homeless back then.

It's not the original paint but I'm pretty sure its the original color.
It is a bit faded He put a little wax on it one time and that made it a lot brighter.

straight6chevyguy · 02-13-2019, 04:44 PM

Actually I meant to say when He put wax on it it made it darker. LOL

yea I know.

Actually in person it looks more like someone took the claw on the back of a hammer to it. Pretty sure that's what happened.

It will more then likely never be a show car but He plans to fix it up and make a cool daily driver out of it.

**oldwagon** · 02-15-2019, 12:15 PM

I've had my '57, '210', 4-door wagon since the early 80's. Bought it from the original owner. Then I bought a '56 Nomad that was a basket case because I had always wanted one, but I couldn't justify restoring it so I sold it. Wanted to invest my resources in the '57. Just never thought I would be into the wagons and now I prefer them. The older ones especially!

You should have a user name that reflects that

In case someone isn't sold on these Pontiacs...

Buicks look good in silver. That wagon would look good in about any color
