rsmodels Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 This was one I bought already built and then restored. I removed the third tail lights as the kit came with triple rear lights. I used original 1960 AMT/SMP tires rather than the soft tires it came with. I also added side glass to the doors. Of course I foiled and detailed it. My late brother used to be picked up every day to go to high school (early 60's) in a wagon just like this. It brings back great memories. I have another of these I'll probably build someday too. Comments and/or suggestions are welcome. -Rich 8
TransAmMike Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Cool looking wagon there Rich, I bet all that chrome work was fun!!
bisc63 Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 LOVE the big early 60s GM cars; sedans, hardtops, wagons, ALL! This is a particularly nice looking wagon, owing as much to the tasteful blue color as Chevy's oh-so-cool body styling. Digging everything about this one. SO well done.
mrm Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Very , very nice. I love it when models have personal stories attached to them.
Kah puts Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Absolutely stunning, these long roofs are so cool, and yours is a bing-go!

TonyW Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Everything about that restoration is pretty much perfect. A superb model.
NYRich72 Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 I always love to see well done chrome work as it usually gives me fits. Beautiful overall build.
espo Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Beautiful looking showroom style build. Wish models of these could be reissued. The trim looks great.
Bainford Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Very nice wagon. Nice body detailing and good colour choices. Well done.
happy grumpy Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Beautiful Chevy, clean trim and finish. Always nice to have a personal connection to a model, it makes it all the more significant.
TooOld Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Absolutely gorgeous ! I like that you removed the third taillight , that's often overlooked . I've owned a few '60 Chevys and have been looking for one of these kits for a while now , can only hope mine turns out half as nice as yours !
