Look at this shortened 1955 Bel-Air!

**Richard** · 06-28-2008, 03:30 PM

Almost makes it look like an old third world European crap wagon.

They just knocked the section of the car where the two back doors are :eek: bet if they tubbed it, some big meats on the back and blown Big Block that thing wouldn't have any problems doing a wheel stand.

The guy should have just bought a Nash Metropolitan.

There is one like this in Fargo, I see it all the time. I can't remember what year it is. It's neat, but a little weird. I'll see if I can get a picture of it and post it.

Heres some pics of that shortened chevy wagon in Fargo.
You guys can rip on it if you want, I like it. I think its a nice way to keep vintage iron out of the scrap pile. Its cooler than buying a car off the shelf just like any other joe blow. Plus it can haul cargo like a Blazer.

Early in high school, I worked for a guy with a cool 50's wagon decaying in the woods. Buick I think, I can't remember.
I had dreams of turning it into a sort of El Camino. It had the right lines to be a beautiful ride, plus it came with a tailgate!

OK I did some playing with photoshop. Here is my before and after idea for the Buick wagon. Its a little off subject, but it is still about a chopped up wagon.

Here's more Photoshop, at a different angle:

Do you mean the pickup or the shortened wagon?

Jimbeau · 07-10-2008, 01:22 PM

The pickup is very cool. I didn't notice that the wagon was shortened. Post up the originals.

rak · 07-12-2008, 07:33 PM

Jimbeau, the yellow 55 Chevy picture I posted was the shortened wagon. Also, the red 55 Chevy in link for the first post was a shortened wagon.

Thanks NJImpalaGirl!
