Finally got the title for this wagon cleared up.. Another piece in the puzzle..

Anybody know if the bench seats from 61-64 are the same as the 59-60? I'm thinking the tracks may be different due to floor landscaping but otherwise, anybody know for sure?..

Do you have anything left of the chief? I need the stars off of the sides..

OK, Found a Catalina parts car with near mint door panels, front clip and front doors..
Got my rear doors and better rear bumper from Steve at Indiana Pontiacs..
Found a guy in CA that had the rear flip down seat, 3rd seat, side panels and flat flooring panels for cheap and in beautiful shape..
Removed the roof rack, sanded the outside..
Rattle can primer on the roof and satin blue on the sides to stop the rust for now..
Looking pretty good.. Next is to fix the brakes and put the engine back together..





Here's a walk around of the wagon before I started work on it..

Love this car!!

Are those 15" wheels on your Safari?

[MOJO Catalina]

Yes Matt.. I found some old rims from a '39 Chevy that have riveted on clips that I'm hoping I can drill out and affix to these 15 inch wheels so I can use my '60 dog dish caps on them..
Here they are with the wider whites on them:
