Beautiful Two Tone Paint Job
Wow, what a completely meticulously restored auto. This beauty just placed 2nd in it's class at the 2014 Dallas Autorama. The work put into her is top grade, as every nut and bolt has been replaced on her.
Not only does she look good, but the way she drives and handles is amazing. The perfect show car , or a weekend driver, this is a great car.
Walking around the car, you will notice the flawless paint. The restorer found a color as close to original as possible.
She is running around on new tires with factory steel wheels. They have the original style hub cap and beauty ring.
As you can see by the original trim tag, The paint was Glacier Blue/Skyline blue, and the trim tag codes out to Blue/Beige for the interior. The ultra leather interior is amazing.
All the original side chrome has been polished and the front and rear bumpers are new.
Back when hood ornaments ment something, it was hard to beat the size and styling of this one. What might be out of place now and days, totally makes this gal shine just that little bit more.
The back seat of the wagon folds down giving you plenty of room to put all of your car show gear.
Or if you choose, can you imagine a better picnic wagon? or watching soccer games sitting on the tailgate?
There is a spare factory steel wheel but no spare tire.
The front and back seats are actually the originals.
There is an Ididit tilt steering column with the smaller reproduction steering wheel.
The after market a/c is an Old Air unit, and blows cold.
This Handyman wagon is truly one of the nicest we have ever seen.
The engine not only looks good under the hood, it runs very smooth. She starts great and is ready to run as soon as you turn the key. The engine was rebuilt 30 over, with a mild cam, but boy does she runs smooth. The Edelbrock carb was tuned perfect to her liking. This with the cruising gears that were installed, really makes this perfect vehicle to cut away from the cookie cutter SUV's on today's road.
You can see the above hinges and latches below look as though she just came off the factory assembly line. However the under hood paint and chrome far exceeds how she was when stock.
The excellent work finish was not just focused above. The undercarriage has been addressed as well. There was great attention to detail.
Every piece of black metal that could be, was powder coated.
We hope you have enjoyed our presentation of this incredible beautiful Handyman Wagon. Please stop by and see it in person.

Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof. We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
When it comes to our cars, is the Internet of Things a godsend? Or a hidden menace that will create more problems than it will solve? On the same day General Motors announced it will equip newer-model cars with its in-dash Marketplace e-commerce app, a prominent safety group was shooting it down. National Safety Council President Deborah Hersman tells Bloomberg the technology will only contribute to distracted driving and hurt efforts to stem the tide of rising auto fatalities, which grew 5.6 percent to more than 37,000 in the U.S. in 2016. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says distracted driving was responsible for 3,477 fatalities and 391,000 injuries in 2015, the most recent year for which it has data. "There's nothing about this that's safe," Hersman told Bloomberg. "If this is why they want WiFi in the car, we're going to see fatality numbers go up even higher than they are now." Marketplace, developed with IBM, will allow drivers — or more often, one hopes, their passengers — to order coffee or food, find gas stations and reserve hotel rooms from their dashboard screens. The technology is set to be uploaded automatically to nearly 1.9 million GM vehicles model-year 2017 and later that are equipped with WiFi hotspots and compatible systems. By the end of 2018, about 4 million Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles will be equipped with Marketplace. The app will debut with a limited number of participating retailers, including TGI Fridays, Shell, Exxon Mobil and Starbucks, with more likely to join later. Online retail giant Amazon is also partnering with automakers such as Ford to bring e-commerce capabilities inside the car through its Alexa personal assistant. While convenience is nice, one other thing is becoming clear as the IoT wedges its way into our cars: It's taking aim at some decidedly first-world problems.Related Video: Image Credit: GM Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Technology Infotainment in-car entertainment marketplace e-commerce
