    Duck Tape,

    THIS is what I would do with that wagon you have there ...

    POWER TOUR 56 Chevy Wagon

    They used an Impala chassis out of an ex-police car if I remember right.

    You could do the same with a Crown Vic police cruiser from an auction... one of the only full-frame cars left... Modern running gear and handling combined with real patina.

    Just be sure your tetanus shot is current ... :rofl:
