Hello to all lovers of 5 6 and 7 rolling art. I just jumped aboard....from the State of Washington
near Portland, OR. I joined thinking I may need input on my '55 2 door wagon rebuild. Intending to do a rotisserie. I purchased the wagon 20 years ago and have waited patiently for my shop to get built which has happened recently. I look forward to bumping around here and becoming educated.
I do not know a thing about navigating these places but certain I'll fumble about until I figure it out.

Thanks guys.... I 1st fell in love w/ the 2 door wagons when as a young lad in SoCal, they were the perfect surf wagon for at the time i wouldn't be caught dead in a 4 door.
I also have a 4 door '55 for reference plus it is a V8 automatic....my 2 door is a 6 cylinder 3 in the tree. Making my options wide open. The 2 door is apart presently, photos would be possible but probably not too interesting. It came from Kennewick so it is virtually rust free. It came with some very unique options that i assume were dealer installed. I am in the process of reproducing the very rare "eyebrows". I have intentions of offering these for sale to other owners. I haven't done my homework yet as to whether or not they'll fit a '56....I am betting they will. Perhaps a photo of those would be of interest to many ???? I keep watching internet photos and auctions looking for a set, I have yet to spot any.
Thanks again....

I do not have the Nomad, I have a 2 door two-ten, these eye brows are not like the Nomad because those form an eye brow then extend back and become part of the trim.
These attach with the one screw above the headlight and stand alone. i will locate one and get it posted. I am curious to get some feedback. I will attempt to get the photo onto here but may fail being new to this form of communication. I can easily email a photo to anyone with an interest.
Thanks
