Wow! My jaw hit the floor. What a fantastic Forward Look, congratulations!!! I see she has the remote controlled mirror too. 4 door hardtop wagons are so cool. That must be one R-A-R-E car. | |||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 467 Location: Sweden | Power swivel seats....! Neil! I found it in Spring Valley, Close to San Diego. The woman i bought it from had the car standing in here backyard since 1993 Her Father bought it from a estate sale. But never got it running so he gave the car to the daughter. I will try to take some more pics on the swivel seat when i get the Wagon to Sweden! | ||

Veteran Posts: 129 Location: Rochester Hills, MI | Very nice! Is that a trailer brake under the dash near the parking brake release? Also are these the cable driven "automatic" swivel seats? When you get some time, let's see a pic of the front door hinges and also the engine bay. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 781 Location: Montreal, Canada | Thanks Jorgen. I guess the air conditioning unit is aftermarket ???? I wonder what the gold sticker says in the glovebox. What are your plans for her ? | ||

Board Moderator & Exner Expert 10K+ Posts: 13042 Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | The sticker says "Road Maps" and there should be a clip that holds the maps mounted. | ||

Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | BTW, that "Road maps" glove box decal goes back, at least, to the 1957 (Dodges) MoPars... You gotta go find a roof rack for this guy; I can't believe that, once you get her home, that you won't, immediately, start tearing her down! BTW (ii): I also can't believe that some company isn't already re-popping roof racks. Edited by d500neil 2009-03-10 7:40 PM | ||

Expert Posts: 3575 Location: Netherlands | These wagons are awesomly cool. I saw a black '60 wagon on eBay some months ago with a lot of work on it. I had mailed the seller when the eBay price was still around $1000 and he told I could come and get it for $4750. The way the wagon looked I didn't think it would fetch that much but I guess I was wrong. It went for more than $5000 I think to recall. | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 467 Location: Sweden | No not really! I,m just curious how much interest it is in the wagon! I know about another wagon for sale and have hard time to decied what to do. The other car is in better shape but has a lot less options But since i have 6 other cars in a need of attention it probably a good decision to sell this one and buy the other wagon thats almost a driver! | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 467 Location: Sweden | In Sweden at last! But i think the blue paint awaked the wheater gods. It rained when i bought the car and it rained even worse when i unloaded it.

Elite Veteran Posts: 709 Location: Poznan, Poland, Europe | A New Yorker wagon...and the 1960....and in blue! It's a real dream ride already. Not to mention the swivel seats - who doesn't love the swivel seats ! And these in a wagon...there must have been very few ordered that way. Plus the upholstery of 1960 NewYorkers always hits me, it speaks "luxury" so boldly ! | ||
