Just added the show-stoppingly beautiful '57 Olds Super 88 Fiesta to the fleet and used it to complete this trio of Brooklin station wagons:
I think these 3 look great together!

Very nice wagon train Barry. Remember to stay out of Donner's Pass until spring.
Little known fact, both the Oldsmobile and Buick above in 1:1 were conversions of sedans or four door hardtops by Ionia Manufacturing, a subcontractor to GM for many years doing their station wagons.

I knew the wood bodied Buick wagons were built by an outside body supplier but always assumed with the advent of full metal bodied wagons, they were built in-house. Very interesting, John, thanks for the info!

Barry, And as a Mopar follower this 1954 Dodge Sierra four door wagon was also an Ionia product as well.
And replicated in 43rd.

@moe-parr Barry, I'm with you. A friend has a 1951 Buick Super woody wagon and the Ionia tag is attached to the seat frame on the passenger side. Good information John Q.
