What other 1950s or early 60s wagon kits were made

I am going to take the Ghostbusters Caddy and make it into a wagon so other then the 57 Ford wagon are there others I can take parts from to build a Caddy wagon.

Revell and monogram have done 56 and 57 Nomad kits, but monograms is 1/24. Amt has done the 63 Nova and 62 Buick.

Hubley made 1960, 61 and 62 Ford wagons

Don't forget the AMT 55 Nomad.

Also keep an eye out for diecast cars. I have a 57 Chevy wagon labelled "West Coast Customs" and a 56 Chevy Suburban in flat black.

AMT and Round 2 have offered a '65 Chevelle 4 door wagon. Revell has a great '66 Chevelle wagon kit that has been reissued at least once that I know of.   JoHan offered a '60 Plymouth Wagon, but you'll have to dig deep in your piggy bank for one. Round 2 reissued the old JoHan Rambler wagon a few years ago. Still see them at swap meets.

Duh I have a Revell 57 Nomad that the body was too brittle and broke but missing the rear seat but might have other usable parts,I really like the 57 Ford wagon interior so I might get one but it would be nice if a 59 GM wagon was built.

Revellogram released this '56 Nomad in 1997. It's 1/25. It was reissued by Revell in 2006 and 2011.

Time to find some glue bombs to use as parts.

Try to find a junker AMT Jr. Series '60 Chevy wagon, or more easily, a Monogram Bad Actor '60 Chevy sedan delivery. Width on that one may be a bit off since it's 1/24, but it could be narrowed and the windows cut out. Good luck!

Easier to find Johan 66 Hearse or Ambulance than a Hubley Ford or a ‘60 Brookwood. Sheet plastic cheapest

I was going to mention the 65 Lincoln wagon parts but Jesse included it in his list.

I would try to cut the ambulance down to nearer the length of a Cadillac car: shorten it through the rear door and maybe in the quarter panel and front door too, and then just look for something to use for interior parts.  Maybe just look for a Monogram '59 Cadillac?

Yeah, monogram by itself issued a 1/24 57, and revell a 1/25 57.

If it does not get built as a wagon it will be built as a retired ambulance.
