Notes:
This is a good old wagon to restore, it runs around the yard but needs new brake lines on the rear.  I have left the car in its current condition so you can see the body work that needs to be done an such.  It needs a gas tank.  I have one in the back to be able to drive it.

The car has history with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, as the former owner would transport Mrs Hulman and family to the track during the 500 mile race and such.  There is a paper in the window that reads "Tower Terrace Parking Permit Indianapolis Motor Speedway 1963", and is signed by the track manager of that time.

The engine is original - there is very little on the car that is not original.
