After a lot of thought and conversations, I have decided what
direction to go with the restoration of the Wagon. At first, I wanted to preserve the orginal state of the car, but
if I did that, it would be dangerous to drive in today's traffic. In 1953, there were no seatbelts and few other safety
devices. I really would like to enjoy the car as it was meant to be.... driving it as much as possible. I plan
to install the original Corvette engine and transmission from the '78 Vette. I also want to install disc brakes all
around with radial tires. Of course there is creature comforts like air conditioning I want to install. I will
keep the original look of the car.
Stay tuned as the new and better '53 Wagon evolves!!
