Jim has his own customized '59, a combination of '58 and '59. Matthew, tell us the differences!
Jim also has many '59 parts for sale, including this Sport Fury steering wheel core and front clip in excellent condition. If you have any interest, let me know and I'll put you in touch with Jim.

I wonder if that red front clip came off a wagon I saw posted for sale last year, in the Jersey area.
That looked like a great, and rare, experence Dan, to visit a spacious property on a beautiful day, and seeing lots of cool cars!

Roger,
here is a link to the wagons, as of December 2007 they were still in one piece and still for sale.
The red one is a Belvie and the red one in Dans post looks to have the mldgs of A Fury or SF..
Someone should buy these!

Thank you for the chance to revisit the ad! !
November was a long time ago..
I like the looks of the red 4dr,,I wonder if he calls it a parts wagon because he REALLY wanted to build out the 2dr wagon.
Sigh, I don't have any money to spare, so it isn't even worth the phone call to learn about it.

...and, check out the fenders where the turn signals wrap around on the '59!

... and how about
- No rear door handles
- no trunk lock
- side trim
- front fender from another car (go down on the front part)
- front pumper edges not round as mine/ours but a little cut

Actually, these wagons belong to Ginny Durkee -- I just received this note from her:

Hi Dan. I see that my wagons have come up in conversation. Just to let you know I still have them both. It's a rather long story as to why. At this point, I am willing to let them go for any reasonable offer. It's not that I have to sell them, it's just that I have too many wagons, and I don't foresee these getting done any time in the near future, so I'd rather let them go to someone who will give them the attention they need. Thanks for your time and tell Ed [Ober] I said hi.
Hi Ed!
...and if anyone wants to know more about these wagons, let me know and I'll put you in touch with Ginny.
