The previous ranch wagon post is deleted. But here are a couple photos to show what Troy Martin of Full Scale Hot Rods built over a 2002 Z06, a cool '53 Ranch Wagon

Speaking of "on with the show" this wagon won the 2014 Best of Show at Cruzin Pismo Beach

and was featured in Gear Heads 4 Life magazine summer of 2015 issue

and that is a lot of good coverage for just one car.

if you're just seeing this for the 1st time, I already posted this wagon from photos from another website because that site did a good job with photos and the basics of the story, but the prima donna was upset I didn't get her permission to share with you her cool story and post, and zapped me an email telling me off for not "asking permission" to use her photos. So I pulled those photos and credit to the little princesses site (if you'd met her, you'd agree) and instead, did this cool wagon over a Vette chassis justice with a proper post of what this car maker has accomplished, where he's brought the wagon, the trophy he won, and the full magazine feature he's been given for his car's outstanding craftsmanship.

But her attitude? Nasty.
Well, ain't that a bitch. Try and share with my readers what a cool car she found and she blows a gasket.

But get this...

here is her incredibly fast and mistaken reply:

Please check yourself. I don't appreciate the comment on your site calling me a bitch. That is totally inappropriate and uncalled for. I never asked for you to take it down. I simply asked for you to come to me first before illegally downloading my images. I didn't want to have to involve my lawyers. I have a reputation to uphold, and I'd appreciate you not calling me derogatory names online. 

I'm not sure where you get off speaking to a fellow enthusiast the way you have. I don't remember meeting you and I was probably too new in the industry when I did to realize you meant downloading my images. And to be honest, I find your response to be more immature than the polite e-mail I sent. 

Take down the post you just put up. I don't want to have to involve my lawyer. But I will if necessary

Daddy's lil princess trotted out the ol lawyer threat. Ha! If she even bothered daddy's lawyer with this, they'd laugh her out of their office, and charge her dad an hour just for having to put up with her whiny overpriveldged attitude

Wagonmasters the movie, celebrating the classic American station wagons (full size, V-8, rear wheel drive, often with wood grain) that were an icon of post-war America

Wagonmasters, a full-length documentary film, offers glimpses into the lives of such wagon enthusiasts, and tells the story of the station wagon as it represents a changing America over the last one hundred years.

only about 20 six-passenger 1942 Town & Country woody station wagons with a barrel back are known to exist

and as best as anyone can tell, just one has the post-December 31st blackout trim, that sole survivor being in the hands of the Larger family of Powell, Ohio, which has nurtured and preserved it for some 40 years.

for Chrysler Corporation products badged as Chryslers, most of Chryslers' plating was replaced with plastic which was usually colored in an ivory or beige tone. The hubcaps are finished in a two-tone red hue that complements the wood, which in 1941 and 1942 came from the Pekin Wood Products Company in Arkansas, a Chrysler subsidiary. The firm milled the pieces into subassemblies before shipping them on to Chrysler's plant on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit, where the Town and Country had its own fourth-floor assembly line.

One of the six-passenger cars that came off that line in 1942 was this car, an amazingly original relic that still has accumulated barely 21,700 miles before being parked in 1953. It's been in the family since 1966, when the family patriarch happened to spot a simple classified ad offering a 1942 Chrysler in the back pages of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the region's biggest daily newspaper.

the original owner, a man named E.S. Carpenter, owned a film-production company and made industrial films, like showing workers how to operate a piece of machinery, and he was looking for a station wagon and this was the only wagon he could find in Cleveland in early 1942, even though it's technically not a real wagon, but he bought it as a company vehicle and that's why "ESCAR Motion Pictures" is lettered on the front doors.
