I drug this out of the woods today......always wanted one! 1958 Ford 2 door ranch wagon. Comes with a 4 door parts car that has all of the missing pieces.

why didn't i pick a simple hobby....like collecting stamps????

 

Don't think I've ever seen a 2-dr '58 wagon, that does look cool!

 

that is going to be a cool ride. some animal is going to be real mad you just took his restroom lol

 

I was really surprised to see the tail lights on your wagon.
I have never seen 58 lights on a ranchero so assumed all the tailgates uses 57 lights and all the wagons used the same lights as 57.
I have a 57 ranchero and 2 57 ranch wagons sitting waiting for me to get to them. (hopefully some day)
Good looking project

Yup, you my friend, have a sickness.


Looks like a fun project. Good luck with it

Yup.

I need to sit down and take a hard look at all of my "future" projects......
I have 4-5 in line AFTER I finish the COE. This car is near the top of the list though.

 

I had a 57 2D ranch wagon 6 cyl 3 sp on column, I inherited from family duty. I really liked that car. I don't know about the 58, but in 57 the 2 door wagon had a different length body than the 4D/Galaxy, body parts were not interchangeable.

 

Great looking project material.

 

That is too cool, I would move that close to the top of my project list too if I had it. I have been thinking about building a wagon but they are not as easy to find in NY. That looks like a good solid builder.

 

Very cool. I love the old wagons.
You will need to keep us posted on progress.

 

looks like that ranch wagon is sporting a flathead county plate.

 

Yep. But I actually got the car from Lincoln county.......been sitting in the same spot since 1965!
Do you live in this area?

 

That is a cool car, there is one in not as good condition close to me.

 

grew up in bigfork, moved to Helena after high school, now in Boise. Bought my 56 in Helena and drug it to my dads farm in Bigfoot then back to Helena then to boise. 28 yrs later and it still hasn't seen the road. I guess there's always next year.

 

Small world.....i live about 6 miles from Bigfork.
