Pics: Newest addition to my "woodie" family. Several colors have been offered of this model. I had pre-ordered a black one with roof rack about two years ago but when the model became available, the dealer I had ordered it from was out of business. The only other dealer that I knew about didn't offer the black car so I didn't get the model. As of a few days ago black with the roof rack was being offered and I puller the trigger. I have been hoping for a '57 Country Squire for years. Not perfection but very nice and much better than the photos. I personally would like outside mirrors on the doors or not at all but I can live with them on the fenders. The wood graining could be better but is way better than the photos. All in all I'm pleased to welcome it to my woodie family!

Just bought from you on our auction. Will be returning home after the 3rd. Woke up to 13 F in
Arizona this morning. Brrrrrr! Mile high but at least no snow here in Prescott. Also just took pics of my new ride come spring time.

Yes Randall, I have one of those that needs a complete rebuild that I had purchased about 5-6 years ago. They don't seem to come up to often. I haven't seen one since I bought mine.

I received my Inca Gold version last Thursday and am most pleased with it. Curtis your comments are right on. I'm glad that I didn't go by the early pictures or I would not have this gem in my collection.

Bob, would you post a pic of this one? I am very interested in seeing it as the result of your comments about earlier pics of this model perhaps not doing it justice.

Thanks, Tom. By buying two, you save on shipping;) I'll email you.

Good for you...and remember that Goldvarg is doing a '58 to put beside it.

Jack I am not able to post pictures but if you will go to the Route 66 website you will find pictures of the Inca Gold version with a roof rack which is the model I have.
