interesting

I'll say. The roofline is alot nicer than the stock wagons of the era. Looks more like the Buick Sport wagons without the higher top..
And the "Zapruder" film footage is very cool, too. Shows the tailgate down.

Gary Minor also has one that he has been trying to sell.

I don't know Gary. Does he post on this site?

I'm not sure, but he has it listed for sale in a few places. If you go to www.iswc.us, he has it listed there.

The GP with the wagon roof added looks nicer than the 4 door wagon with the two door doors added but they are both cool. I'd like to do that to my '63 Safari but two door post car doors are hard to find!
Here's a pic of Gary's car that's for sale and of the GP that I believe he said has been junked.

I went to the wagon site and don't see the '62 wagon for sale there.

Thanks for posting those photos. I understand that the 2 door sedan doors are hard to come by since so many people want a 2 dr Catalina SD sedan...
I suppose there's a way to convert 2 door hardtop doors to accept the vent window part of the sedan frame, then have taller window glass and chrome trim made to mate with the door jamb weather stripping... Hmmm.. I'm starting to perculate here... I have a 63 Bonneville 2 dr ht parts car that's still pretty much complete. Maybe I should try to find a rusty '63 wagon with a good roof and title and make my own dream wagon?

I considered taking a two door door and splicing on the full frame from my front doors and adding some extra to make the frame long enough. For now it will stay a four door.
