Beautiful wagon. But why does is have a straight 6 but say 283 on the fender? Was it originally a v8 car? Love the three on the tree. What a super cool wagon.
My family fled Baltimore race riots In a wagon like this as the city was burning sat in the back seat with bottles and brick pelted that wagon.same color
False badging on the front fenders. If this car was "nicely restored," why the 283 badging with a 6 cylinder engine? Heck, why not add a SS badge on the rear fenders. It seems to me that it would have been very easy to take the V-8 flags with the 283 badging off, or go completely hog wild and actually put as 283 V-8 in the engine bay. I don't think that I would want to get behind this car going up a hill with the possible 9 passengers. Those passengers (most likely kids) would really be laughing at me trying to pass.
Very nice Bel Air wagon. Love the Willow Green color 💚 9 pass,6 cyl and 3 on the tree is a rare one.
We grew up with one of these wagons, but a V-8.
