No,- all the fwdlook 6 seater wagon's always have manual tail gate window in 1957.

What will it take to get it inspected?

I have a Fireflite "wagon", but it isn't drivable yet...it could count as 12 of 11...

Thanks Brad,

I know that you own an ambulance wagon, but your car is based on an sedan, thats why I don't count it as a "wagon".
The registration fails, because I couldn't show them the right papers from customs. The Car came into Europe 15 yrs back,- so to find such papers in retrospect will be almost impossible.
But I can run this Flite with changeable license plates w/o full registration, so its solved for the moment.

Location: Finland		I am really sorry for your sake Thomas! So many of us overseas have been in trouble at the registration. Is it the title which is missing?
I think not all states had a title paper 1958...not sure...

Location: Alaska		Ralf is correct. Some states in the past could transfer a car ownership with a bill of sale and registration but not sure that could help you. There are a couple of companies here in the states that can still do this but you have to contact them to see if they can help. Try this one, broadwaytitle.com

No Igor, sorry for late answer.

6-Seat DeSoto Wagons aka Shopper never had power windows
In 1958 that become an option (as I know) on Shopper's
