Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to present this 1957 Ford Station Wagon! This ride is wearing Candy Apple Red and has only seen roughly 2,000 miles in the 6 years post restoration.
Very few of these utility vehicles of the past survive. Like many cult classics wagons in the US don't get the same attention as trucks or 'traditional' muscle. Once in awhile a really good example comes along, and this one appears to be just that!
The owner opted for the 351 Windsor and 4 speed automatic to get rebuilt as part of the process. The original drive train did not make the cut. Creature comforts and drivability took the reigns over originality and perfection.
The rear end is a polite and mannered 3.50:1 posi-traction unit making this an ideal classic for the car show circuit, local daily driver, or whatever you want it to be! For suspension improvements the front end has a Mustang II style front end making the driving experience quite confident!
While rummaging through a friends salvage yard in 2011 the owner spotted the wagon and struck a deal. Oddly the VIN decodes as a panel wagon, but then and now the vehicle has glass panels. Literature is a bit sparse for Ford Wagons, but our cursory research leads us to believe this was originally a government issue vehicle. Supposedly only government issued models received the panel wagon VIN suffix, but were built with glass panels.
As part of the restoration the owner reports doing a complete body sandblast and rust repair process to give this ride decades more life.
This 1957 Ford Station Wagon is offered by the St. Louis sales staff and can be seen in full detail on our website. Our listing all include 100+ HD photos and a detailed video! GatewayClassicCars.com
