Default 1959 Pontiac Catalina Safari

I thought I should start a build thread on the Wagon. I'ved had this one about 4 years and really haven't done anything.
This car had been parked at least 25 years.

I'm in.
I've been a wagon fan for Since I bought my first one back in 1975.
There is one of these for sale sort of near me but it looks like the current state of the Titanic. Yours looks great.

Prepped the engine with oil in the cylinders, turned it over. Put plugs, wires, cap, had line in a gas can and here we go.

I'm impressed with the overall condition. (If you could find one in these parts, it would be sunk to the axles and missing most of the glass. )
