Oldmopars Posted September 29, 2021 Posted September 29, 2021 I SEARCHED, Google searched, I found lots of topless builds, but I think I only found 1 built as a wagon. Are there any others that have built this car as a wagon? I would like to do it up completely stock, but with a wagon roof, as though it could have been factory that way. Any builds or advice for fitting the roof would be great.
Mike999 Posted September 29, 2021 Posted September 29, 2021 Sorry, I'm better at ideas than actual useful information... You could build it as a custom made wagon for a ritzy resort. I've always wanted to try that with the '65 Lincoln. The Broadmoor Resort in Colorado had a series of Cadillac station wagons custom-built in the 1950's, to haul guests and their luggage. The wagon was called the "Skyview" because of its clear roof panels. A lot like the roof of that AMT '65 Lincoln. Here's a Skyview that has seen better days, but the clear roof panels are visible.
Oldmopars Posted September 30, 2021 Author Posted September 30, 2021 Cool idea, I may have to do one that way. My plan is high end “could have been “ wagon. I want to paint the roof, add a rack and maybe open the back window to allow a pair of surf boards.
Paul Payne Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 Michelle posted a Lincoln wagon in pau.
restoman Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 I've been tinkering with this one on and off...
Claude Thibodeau Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 Hi Scott! You might want to try the roof from the Alternomad (seen here on a Starliner)... Or, the 64 Wagon roof (seen he highly modified on a Monte Carlo Nomad). Both require some work, but the Lincoln is a big car, so, they should fit. I did a custom Roadster PU with the Lincoln, a la Ranchero, but a two-seater. So much styrene, so little time... CT
Oldmopars Posted October 3, 2021 Author Posted October 3, 2021 Wow, great builds. Thank you. I think the biggest issue will be making the roof look like something Lincoln would have done.
Oldmopars Posted October 6, 2021 Author Posted October 6, 2021 That factory looking burgundy one is the look I’m after, thanks.
