Show us pictures of your Flat Top Wagon

If I ever hit the lottery (of course I guess I should start buying tickets if I plan on winning), I think I would buy a nice original Rallye 35 and then do a wagon an a convertible. I am surprised nobody has ever done one. Money is not the reason I am not doing it. It is the lack of money.

I'm going to upload latest pics of my '67 F85 "Flat Top" Wagon. I just got her finished. Car is also For Sale on various sites for around $15K. It's a rare car and a real looker (even if I do say so myself)
Take a look at Gallery or wherever to see!
THANKS!

How is the project going?
I passed it by because it did not have A/C and would have been too much to install.
For a 350, it sure had some hauling abilities!
Yes, i just now saw this...

I knew that Olds dealership looked familiar Rhinebeck, NY. Here's a pic of my 1964 442 at the same dealer 2 weeks before they took the sign down. Talked with the owner for a while, got great pics and info. The first car he sold at his dad's dealership was a 64 442!!

Sweeet! and welcome to the site! You're lucky to have one that's rust-free. Enjoy!

Two for one, put it in your living room window and light it up and you and your neighbors could both enjoy it, much like "The Christmas Story" legs lamp.
Could wire it for 12 volts and bolt it to the roof of your car too.

64-442,
Yup. that's Ruge's in Rhinebeck,NY alright. Sweet 442 bro! And excellent pics. I've never met the owner, I have heard through the grapevine he's an Olds guy.
Someone told me he's got a couple of 'em, a convertible and ?
I knew they were takin down the sign and when I got my wagon on the road, my brother and I went down to take those pics. I wish my Olds was as nice. Someday...

I know you had to have had one of those Radio Shack helmets with the flashing light on top and the siren as a kid Rob?
Just get a hardhat and use the same concept, hope you have strong neck muscles.
Did you have the walkie-talkie helmets too??

Here´s my 64 Flat top. A $900.00 buy in San Diego that now calls south Sweden it´s home. Original drivetrain but i´m leaning towards a 350 that used to be in my 64 Cutlass. Next up are replacing everything in the front and rear suspension.

Old Olds dealerships
Hey 64-442, thanks for posting the pics of the now defunct Olds dealership. Kinda gave me a lump in my throat. Have fond memories, while on many trips to LimeRock Conn, of these small towns with tiny family owned "Agencies".
(love those big glass front doors, with the bent iron handles)
Truly believe that "The General" and the other two got too big for their britches. Here in Orlando, so many of these mega-dealers are now just a ghost town. Maybe a bit off topic from the original thread, sorry.

My first car was a 64 F-85 Wagon when I was 17 yr old in 1980.
It effected my profoundly now I am almost done with a 72 flat top wagon restoration.

Technically not a flat top but I think the current company will be OK with that.
Going to do some really fun things to this wagon in the next two months.
Here is the baseline...

My '70
Here's a picture of my '70 Wagon, just purchased last night, 12/17/2011. Drove it home 150 miles with no problems. 350 Rocket, AC, Dual exhaust, SS1's, Bamboo Creme with seinna interior, modern stereo where the 8-track would be. Plans to improve it as I go, but no big restoration project, just drive.

Nice looking car! Should make a great daily drivers. My 1971 flat top has the same color combination as yours, but it's not in nearly that nice! I'm afraid previous owners let mine get down to clunker condition without doing anything to it. Has yours been restored or was it just well kept? John
