Trying to find someone who knows of a 57 flat black wagon that had a hood scopp double headlights like a 58 and had what looked like a early camero or mustang front bumper. I think it had bumperettes on the rear also. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

QuoteDoes G. Allen still go on the PT and does he still have the Ranch Wagon?
QuoteG. Allen sure helped me a lot when I was doing the radiator and shroud in my '55 and then he just kinda disappeared from the Forum. Tell him I said Howdy !
QuoteYeah, Allen is the best!  Long day today, but spent lots of time on '66.......fun, but long.

If you click on the thumbnail and look in the lower left corner of the picture, you will see that it is a screen capture of some message board.  The apparent owner of the 57 Ranch Wagon is or was at that time G. Allen Pearson.  The date of the post was in 2007, so he may not even own it any more...Should give you something to go on..
Go to http://rodderscorner.informe.com, and search for BluLightning which is hte user name of the original poster.  You should find it, and click on his psrofile, maybe fnd his email address...There is also a PM button to click there as well.

Nice car, good subtle mods.  I like the air box, and the inner fenders.  Mark :icon_bigsmurf:
