Anyone see something very unusual about this Wagonaire?

The original headliner is still present , the body is not a total rust bucket, it hasn't been hot rodded, it isn't listed @ 20K starting price. All of these things are unusual now days!Bez Auto Alchemy

In the add seller states there is no rust. That is unusual as what is that in the photos that appears to look like rust. It does have bench seat bottom with reclining backs. Could that be unusual? jimmijimsigpicAnything worth doing deserves your best shot. Do it right the first time.

Gee I don't know, a Early Flathead 6, Manual Choke, Truck Carb., holes in the upper rear roof section for the Air Spoilers that were removed, 2 twisted bumpers?
OH, Oh, oh! ask ME teacher! I think I've GOT it!
It has some kind of weird Heater hose setup, the Heater is bi-passed, one Heater Core Hose is disconnected, the "Y" sends the Hot water back to the Engine to the Radiator, but the other 2 hoses go to unknown places, one goes forward out of sight maybe to a Cooling System FILTER?

It has a full width bench seat, but with seat back recliners.
It was featured on BaT for $6k and didn't sell...

Actually, it is not that unusual to have reclining Seats without the Individual bottom Cushion Option, all possible combinations were available except a Solid Bottom and Back in a 2 Door.StudeRich

I knew this car had been mentioned before, but I must have been searching wrong because I couldn't find it. I even went back through several days of posts.Paul Johnson, Wild and Wonderful West Virginia.

My old '64 was far-less 'equipped' than my '63 was--only had 259, Flightomatic, wheelcovers, and whitewalls, all-vinyl trim, but had the individual seats up front with recliners. It was a Hamilton car, BTW.Bill Pressler

I read it to read just like you did. But then I read it slower and it came together.
