Wagons Found.....

With most of my time at work being spent at the computer, I have a lot of time to search for more and more wagon information and articles.

Man + Machine : The beautiful Stude wagon that they profile even has roll-up shades! This wagon is the pale-green cousin to This Old Stude.

Automotive History: The Short and Odd Life of The Two Door Station Wagon : Great article regarding the hist of the "nomad" style wagons.

1963 Wagonaire Article : Great article about a 1963 Slide-top Wagonaire.

I have more buried in my favorites that I am sure I will unearth here soon.

Updates Coming Soon......

2012 has been flying by! And so have the last few months without any progress.

I hope to start getting more time over with the wagon soon. The weather is coming around finally which will really help the cause.

Since my last post, we have put an offer in on a Garage... with a house attached to it. Finally the car and I will be residing in the same place. This has been a year long process to come across and our patience really paid off. Inspection is this weekend. Then the fun begins.

Also, we have found out that we have a boy on the way. Due out in July.

Last but certainly not least, the Wagon may be getting a companion in the the form of a 1965 Studebaker Commander. The 65' has a 283 Thunderbolt in it and new wiring. This is a project that will become another optional Daily Driver. The wife wasn't fully on board with the wagon but is for this car for the most part. Hell, she suggested that it become a second DD. Bonus. I hope to get more pics and info on this one in coming days. Assuming all goes as planned, I should be able to bring it home this weekend. Fingers crossed!

2 months in to the year and nothing is crossed off the list from the previous post.... but progress has been made in other aspects of life.
