Wow. I'd like to see a rear shot of that wagon. Sure looks like one of those ultra-rare 1957 Star Chief Custom Safari wagons.

I think you are right Bob, it's two doors and I can see that it has the same ribs in the roof as a Nomad.

If I see that wagon again I'll get a shot of the back.

 

Sorry no business cards, but I did tell the guy with the wagon and the car beside him about CP

Nomads are great cars, but the Star Chief Custom Safari just drips luxury and sportiness all rolled up in one car.

Well that confirmation from m21bud explains why you thought it was a Nomad. That's a real rare car. I doubt that you could buy one in Canada in 1957 so it found it's way over the border at some point in it's life. Be nice to know it's history, I envison it coming from Hollywood, some star's grocery getter. wink
