Not a Nomad

Two-door station wagons were more common than many people remember. In this video, Steve compares a two-door 1954 Ford Ranch Wagon and a four-door Ford Country Sedan. Though long since replaced by the minivan and cross-over SUV’s, the steel body station wagon was one of Detroit’s major sellers of the 1950’s.

Steve, I'm 70 and in 1967 I bought a 55 nomad that had been campaigned as a C/MP drag car. Mr Dixon had a clutch explode and gave up racing. I got a 327 and a 4 speed from a 64 impala SS. and It was my first car- - -all for under 500 bucks! Four of my friends got a great deal on a 55 ford ranch wagon for $2.00 each and we had a ball with it as a mountain slider. We still reminisce about getting a case of beer and using the spare tire compartment as a cooler - - it even had a drain! thanks for the vid-----it was fun.

[@SteveMagnante]

Hello David, I'm happy you enjoyed the video. I'm 57 and am starting to see where each generation gets to say "I remember when you could buy a FILL-IN-THE-BLANK for under $500". For me, I recall the late 1970's / early 1980's when 383 Road Runners, SS396 Chevelles and GTO's could be had in prices ranging from $800 to about $6,000 at the top for a really nice one. When I was in my 20's, Mustang 5.0's, Shaker Hood Trans Ams and IROC-Z's were new and super costly. Then they too fell into the abyss and turned up in junkyards in complete condition. Now, we see them hitting $20,000 easily and the Road Runners and GTO's and others from the Golden Age of muscle are over $40,000. I guess if you live long enough you'll see it all. I also remember around 1980 (at age 16) discovering that Dodge darts had two very important features...the spare tire well was like a huge bowl you could fill with ice and beer. Then when you wanted to hit the road, those same beers could still be kept cold if put inside the two heater outlet boxes under each side of the dash. A large metal door with a twist handle over each box vent kept The Cops from revealing the truth. Plus, in winter a draft of outside air blew over the beers and kept the chill (keep those doors closed unless reaching for another one!). I survived those wild days (not the case for a few of my buddies) but wouldn't change a thing. THANKS for triggering those memories for me and for watching and writing, Steve Magnante

[@-oiiio-3993]

My first car was a '56 Customline Ranch Wagon and I remember the 'stealth cooler' quite well. It was great for the beach or at parks as an underage drinker. My friends would wave me over and stash their beer along with mine as everyone else's was subject to being discovered / confiscated by cops. The only 'dead giveaway' was if parked on pavement that drain you mentioned and its telltale drip. Cops somehow never wondered why the spare was sitting atop the floor rather than being stowed. The brakes had a wonderfully loud squeal at a certain point of pedal travel that was great for clearing intersections as we'd frantically wave our arms yelling, _"no brakes!"_ Those were the days.... .

My parents bought new, a 55 Country Sedan, 272, three on the tree, shortly there after converted to OD, drove it a lot, swapped to a 292, and sold the original engine to a racer.

"Vans" in the 1950's were two door wagons. They were wagons with no windows on the rear (for adding your business logo or information to the vehicle). The rear doors were also "barn door" style, instead of a tailgate like the family wagons got. A "panel van" was a vehicle very much like a Suburban with two front doors, no windows, and barn doors on the back, built on a pickup truck chassis.

[@-oiiio-3993]

"Wagons with no windows on the rear" were sedan deliveries.

He was crazy to trust a kid in those hilly dark roads let me tell you the prairies were so much easier to learn on.

It took a while to remember but parents bought two-door wagons because they felt they were safer with the kids in the back seat being unable to fall out of rear doors after accidentally opening them. There were "horror" stories regularly of that happening in the 1950s. Of course there were no seatbelts or collapsible steering wheels back at that time and safety was the owner's responsibility.

My twin sister did exactly that. Fell out of the rear passenger side of our 1964 Chevy wagon in a turn at an intersection. She lived.

That second wagon in the video appears to be a '55 and not a '54. Two things that cause me to think that this one's a '55: 1) the rear tail lights with the stubby fins that were not present on the '54 and 2) the round radio dial on the dash. By the way, the '55 "astro-dial" speedometer was shared with the first production Thunderbirds. However the round dial radio of the '55 Fords was not used on the '55 Thunderbirds which used radios similiar (the same as?) those used on the '54 Fords.

There was a 1954 two door Ford wagon like that sitting on my grandparents farm, probably still there, my uncle never gets rid of anything. The thing had the Y block V8. Not sure how old I was when I figured out it was originally a two door wagon, the top had been chopped off. Guess it was more practical that way. No idea when it got parked in the woods I was born in 64 and never saw it anywhere else other than parked by the 29 Model A grandma bought new, that got parked in 1950. Replaced by a 40 or 41 Nash that also sat in the woods. I think the Model A is actually the only thing not there anymore, one of my brother's got that and was amazed by the "backwoods engineering" on the thing. Just told him using a damned Model A from 1929 to 1950, through the Great Depressing and WW2, grandpa had to be rather creative to keep one of those pieces of crap running all those years.

Hi Mike, THANKS for writing and watching. You may know I had a TV show called Roadkill's Junkyard Gold for three seasons and about 30 episodes. If not, if you subscribe to the Motor Trend app you can watch them all for something like $5.00 a month. That said, Motor Trend broke my heart when they cancelled the show for less technical "soap opera" car shows. I was also The Last One To Know when Junkyard Gold was dropped. They never told me so I waited "at the bus stop like a schmuck" for NINE MONTHS before calling a Big Wig who said: "Nobody called you???" NOPE. Anyhoo, the truth is, I pitched Junkyard Crawl to TV executives at Speed Channel, Fox Sports and Velocity Channel as long as 17 years ago and all of the Decision Makers said either: "We don't think our viewers are interested in old rusty junk cars" OR "You come across as being too TEACHER-Y". I remained persistent in my belief that real Car People see junkyards as The Great Hunting Ground and finally put the show pilot (a 1/2 hour show I paid $5,000 to self-produce) in front of the mighty David Freiburger (of Roadkill Fame) who instantly GOT IT. Freiburger was My Boss at Hot Rod magazine in the 2000 - 2004 era and is as hard core a Car Person as it gets. Ayhoo, Freiburger "tests" Junkyard Gold (they changed the title from Crawl to Gold) on the Motor Trend app (before Motor Trend merged with Velocity to concentrate mostly on cable TV). The "test" was a hit and we did 30 episodes. Well, the velocity Channel merged with motor Trend a couple years ago and with the merger came the same two guys who said I was "Too Teacher-y". And when we wrapped season Three, I began my wait for the assumed Season Four - that never came. After "waiting at the bus stop" and realizing the phone was not going to ring, I decided to do it myself. Thus the rebirth of Junkyard CRAWL. It's been about 6 months that I've been focused on doing this full time and I am absolutely thrilled that YOU and viewers like YOU have proven the Decision Makers wrong. I have no ill feelings toward Motor Trend (actually that's not quite true, the "don't call us, we'll call you" treatment was pretty SHABBY...but I digress). If nothing else, KZbin has provided me and potentially YOU with an amazing, wonderful wonderland of creativity. In my case, I truly enjoy "giving old cars a voice" and THANK YOU for watching, and writing. And I will say if you just have to watch the 30 episodes of Roadkill's Junkyard Gold, they're pretty good. But you'll need to subscribe to Motor Trend On Demand or The Motor Trend App or whatever they're calling it this week. OK, Thanks Again, Steve Magnante
