Here's my '63 Buick LeSabre wagon. I just got it back from the shop. I had the engine and transmission rebuilt and fuel injection and disc brakes added. It's not a trailer queen and never will be. It looks decent enough inside and out to make a great cruiser without too much worry about getting a rock chip or whatever. Aside from showing off, there's a reason I posted it. It came with a bench seat. I had buckets out of a '66 Impala installed (they're available new) along with a Wildcat console I found on FleaBay. So for you guys with the bigger cars, if you're wondering how to do bucket seats, that's how you do it.

Nicely done, but you could get full size cars from the factory with buckets.

Jon442

Yes. I was thinking of those who might want to retro fit buckets and didn't readily have a source for them.

joe_padavano

Got it. FYI, for the 1965-70 full size cars, you can get the floor brackets and seat tracks for an Impala from Hubbards Impala Parts. I did this for my 67 Delta. The full size cars in those years used the same bucket seat frames as the A-body cars. Only the tracks and floor brackets are different.

That came out very nice. Well done!

You keep the DynaFlow? That looks like a 70-72 Grand Prix column, or at least shift indicator.

I like it. I dig wagons, no doubt.

man i had a 63 olds dynamic 88 wagon those same colors..wish i still had that car.

Jon442

Kept the Dynaflow. The car had factory tilt wheel. We had a hell of a time getting the turn signals to work. The wiring was very strange, and the cancelling setup was ridiculous. So we swapped in an aftermarket tilt column.

Jon442,

Gorgeous car. I love bug wagons and that one is great!

Nice wagon, Jon.

Joe, is that your 64 Jetstar? I recognize the interior and lines.

joe_padavano

No, that's a 64 Starfire photo I stole off the web. Good eyes on recognizing it as a 64, though.

Nice job! Could you come by and pick me up so I can ride in the back back with the window down and my arm hanging out the tailgate window?
You need some luggage and a colman cooler on the roof.

Super nice thanks for the post
