New Owner with Fiesta Wagon

New guy dropping in to check out the forum here!

I picked up a 64' Dynamic 88 Fiesta Wagon from an Olds fanatic out in Columbus, Ohio earlier this summer. No big plans for the car yet, just basic repairs so I can use it as a nice BIG summer cruiser. Has 65,000 miles and is remarkably rust free for being from Ohio. Even came with the original window sticker and some other old documents.

A full-size wagon (most were A-bodies). Cool!

Not a problem. The car has a nice old patina but isn't anywhere near a rust bucket. I do wish it had a rear facing third row seat, but it still seats six in relative comfort. I had my family out in it for July 4th.

Sometimes the practical car has to make a Home Depot run. Or a trip to the local autocross, where I found an equally old car that would probably fit in the back.

Does anyone have an idea of how many of these wagons were produced?

Love the fact you have this wagon. Don't ever sell it (but if you do, hit me up first!!!). There are many here who can give you worlds of info on your ride. You can also try www.classiccardatabase.com

10,747 were produced. Do you have other info from the body plate?

If you are thinking of what options the car has I think I can do one better. I wound up with the original window sticker for the car. Ironically, fifty years later the price was about the same as new.

Awesome! The window sticker doesn't show paint codes however which would let you know if that patina blue is original. I'm guessing so with the low miles.

(Take good care of my future Fiesta please...)
