I have never seen one of these for sale but wanted one since reading an article about them.
It’s a 1956 Powell. It even has a nice place to store a fishing rod.

I’d prefer one with two storage drawers, but with so few built you can’t get too picky.
He doesn’t mention which engine it has, but it would be some kind of prewar Dodge or Plymouth motor. I’ve seen one source even say they used some Chrysler industrial motors.
The grill slats are actually rear door trim pieces pulled from 1950 Ford sedans.
The front piece is fiberglass and was built by a boat builder for Powell.
If you really want rare they built a couple hundred wagon bodies.
According to Hemings only about 110 total trucks and wagons have managed to survive.

Santa said you've been very good and can totally justify the purchase.
People hate on California, but it’s where all the good shit is for car folk.

Is there a Santa’s Workshop Credit Union where I can apply for a very generous long term 0% interest loan?
California gets a lot of great cars.
It seems like the plains states have a lot of great deals on more mainstream cars in decent condition compared to most places.
Here I am in Ohio where anything unusual is either a pile of rust or a massively expensive already restored car.

Wow, it’s surprising that two vehicles that rare are up for grabs at the same time.
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

If you get to know Myron Vernis online, you could probably go see his in Ohio.

In fact, the teal one you pictured is actually his, and he occasionally has it displayed at shows.
