up for auction today is a friend of the familys who s husband recently passed away is his 1959 chevy parkwood station wagon that's been stored in a barn for many years. hears what the widow told me, it was boughten out of hemmings motor news in of California and shipped back to new York by her now deceased husband many years back. upon arriving her husband found the v8 engine was ba, so he put a 6 cyl engine from a parts car that he had in it, and it turned out that that engine was bad too.she said he took that engine out and was going the get one of them rebuilt? well shortly after that her husband had a bad stroke. so all the parts that were laying around got put in the back of the car and the car was taken to a farmer friends barn for storage with the hopes that he would get better one day and put the car back together ? some years back the barn caught fire in a lighting storm and lucky for this 59 chevy wagon it was parked in front of a very valuable antique farm tractor that was started up and pushed the wagon out into the field with some other farm machines while the barn burned to the ground. the wagon sat out side uncovered for almost 3 year, till it was brought back inside the new barn where its been since. now the farmer where the was stored has passed away and the farm was sold so heres the wagon up for sale to help out the widow .this 59 chevy wagon still looks pretty nice with not much rust showing on the out side body. the floors pans need to be replaced. the tailgate area is showing some rust which is to be expected from the car setting out side in the elements. the under side of the car looks good . the frame looks to be in good condition, the floor ribs are nice.the rear roof looks good with only light surface rust. I have taken pictures to show the under side of this car for you to see. the windshield has a crack in it.all the side glass is in good condition. the body looks nice and has some small wrinkles here and there. this would make a nice patina cruzer. put your engine in and drive it like it is.the 3 speed over drive transmission is still bolted in the car. in the back I see the radiator, shrowd, looks like a v8 and a 6 cly bellhousings, generator and a box of bolts, motor mounts, fa, etc. she can not find the key to the car so we can t roll the window down to get better pics of the parts.she says she will keep looking? we put what looks like to be some orignal tires, wheels and hub caps that he had stored in his basement for this car. so there you have it. look at the pictures, ask questions if needed. there is no reserve on this auction. the car will sell to the highest bidder.out of country bidders are welcome to bid. this is an absolute auction. theres no warranty implied. the car is being sold as where is.
