1960 Chevy Parkwood WagonThis car lived most of its life in Arizona as a flower shop car with a 6 cylinder and 3 speed on the column, ence the awesome patina. A few years ago, t eventually ended up in the hands of Boris at Street Machinery in Cleveland, hio where he bagged it and installed the C5 Corvette 4 wheel disc brake set up. If you're not familiar with Boris and Street Machinery, recommend you check him out. Him and his crew are known for their quality workmanship and attention to detail.After I bought the car, decided to install a modern drive train and update the rest of the car. Below is a complete list of things that have been done to the car. I enjoy driving my hot rods, nd as you'll see, made it as reliable as I could. I've put 18,370 miles on the car since it was completed 3 years ago.This car has also been on the 2013 and 2014 Hot Rod Power Tour and performed flawlessly. Super Chevy also did a story on the car which is featured on their website.
