I think the Magnum is the most modern wagon kit available.... Kinda sucks really, when you consider what else ( modern ) could be kitted.

Not many modern wagons left in 1:1, at least in the NA market. There are a few European wagons around today, pretty much nothing from the US or Asia anymore...

They seem to be coming back in style across the globe, except as you've said, NA. Mercedes, Audi, Jaguar, VW, Volvo, BMW, Mazda, Toyota & Subaru all make wagons, yet besides the old versions of the Volvos & Subarus, no new wagon kits?

Add a '60 Ford station wagon to your list as well (Hubley), AMC Pacer station wagon from AMT, '48 Ford station wagon from Revell, all three years of Tri-Five Chevy Nomads, '64 Chevelle station wagon from AMT, '23 Model T Ford station wagon from AMT, Jeep Grand Cherokee from Tamiya.

I've always kinda lusted after the Hubley '60 ford, but I've stayed away after hearing there's an odd scale issue...like it's bigger even that 1/24. Any truth to that?

I've got one, but never have put calipers to it, but in just scoping it out, it appears to be VERY close to 1/24 scale (of course, the '60 Ford was the biggest (widest) Ford produced up to that point in time.

Good catch Art . I looked right past those Ugly tri 5 Chevy's , and that is the only body style of those I like.

I was not sure about the 60 Hubley .

Oh, and PMC (Product Miniatures Company) produced very basic, knocked down promo's with no glass nor interiors in kit form: 1957 Ford Country Squire, and 1959 Ford Ranch Wagon.

The SMP 60 Chevy 4door wagon is the onlt one I have ever seen that said Nomad and be a 4door....very cool wagons guys.

Chevy used the Nomad name quite a bit after '57. The family of a grade school friend of mine had a 58 Chevy wagon with Nomad trim. My grandma had a 61 Chevy Nomad wagon. I have seen 70 Chevelle wagons with the Nomad nameplate on it.

On a different note - why is everyone listing wagons when the link is to a LIST OF WAGON KITS !!!!

Uh, so far, I see nothing but station wagon kits being mentioned (with a couple of pics of the real thing to illustrate).

I question whether hearses, ambulances, and sedan deliveries count as station wagons. And Nomad was the top of the line 4-door Chevy wagon from 1958 through 1961. In '68 the name was attached to a low line Chevelle wagon through '72. There were even special versions of Chevy's G series vans in the late 70's using the Nomad name.

This is an AMT Jr Trophy Series '60 Chevy Wagon.

One of those rare moments where no one else seemed to realise what the Evil-Bay seller had.
