John32369 Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 How rare are 53 Meadowbrook station wagons? I have a chance to get one and to be honest it’s the first one I’ve ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg51T&CWagon Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 You don't want ti to be too rare then finding parts specific to it will be a bear. You might check around junk yards to see if there are any part car sources out there. I'm assuming it needs restoration/work. anything missing?

John32369 Posted August 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Just one piece of molding on the rear quarter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflaming Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Aren't the basics parts common, just the trim scarce. I think this car is larger than its sister Plymouth and that would be a NICE car in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this car is larger than its sister Plymouth and that would be a NICE car in my opinion. If I remember my 53-54 models they had 2 wagons. The 2door that was the same basic shell as the plymouth and then a larger 4 door wagon body. I'm also thinking the hemi being available might have played into the one being larger.

pflaming Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Whichever, I prefer the Dodge to the Plymouth and I like the Plymouth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg51T&CWagon Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Just mentioned scarcity downside b/c I've run into a quandary finding a driver side gravel guard. Specific to year and model. Only about 1200 of my wagons were made and the only one I've found in a junk yard is missing that guard. Even knowing this I woulda bought mine anyway. I'm stubborn like that.

John32369 Posted August 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) There’s a 51 Plymouth Suburban right beside it. I’m probably going to buy both as a package deal. Edited August 17, 2018 by John32369 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
