I’m always searching old vintage ads for my cars and moved over to Chevrolet yesterday to see what I could find in relation to Bill W. wagon.

I was able to find a couple ads including this one.
Cool ad, except no killer Red interior.

Plus no tint glass - all windows, so possibly no AC on this car.

I have a pretty good collection of print ads, but don't believe I've seen this one. And as Bill said, like they ordered this car only red interior. (very happy they did!!)
Like I said previous, unusual for top trim level wagon with no roof rack and poverty caps.

Here is the RF fender with the vinyl laid down, but before trimming and wrapping the edges.

With the vinyl applied, ready for the "Bling"! 60 some feet of body side moldings, polished door handles and lock cylinders, so now the door panels etc. can be put back.

NOS wagon door edge guards are cheap on eBay, so the beat up originals were replaced. Rear w/o moldings are impossible to find, so the originals were cleaned and installed, they have a few minor dings.

Another feature unique to this car, these metal trim strips to finish off the vinyl inside the rear door jamb.

----Chris, It's almost like the person ordering this wagon was looking at this pic, but liked red interiors. The Di-Noc is spectacular, Bill! What a great job.....Bill S

Bill, stunning! Nothing against our muscle cars, but it is so refreshing to see something that I've never seen done to this level before. You saved this car. Period.

@Bob Ashton - I would love to see a display of Long Roof Wagons of all sorts and variations at MCACN including a center slot for Bill's Wagon.

And Bill - not to step on your creative vision for the wagon but I think it would look killer with a set of American Racing Mags or even a set of simulated mag wheels covers?

Looks great. I have a Starksen frame if you need a match for the front plate.
