Probably one of THE toughest things to find.

I don't have one on my '57 Packard wagon and I'm glad.

I have one on my 57 Packard wagon and I believe I know why Chip is glad his Packard doesn't have one.
Besides the holes in the roof that leaked and ruined the headliner...
I dropped $$$$ getting the stantions and rails replated!
Looks great now plus I used 1980s GM wagon rubber roof rack anchors and silicone sealant.
Used these rubber anchor nuts on a 63 Wagonaire roof rack and didn't have any leaks.
Leaked other places but not by roof rack attachment points!

Well, you might want to buy this wagon and use it as a parts car:

'Course you'd have to wait for a few months for it to arrive down under.

Thanks for all the advise maybe a good idea not to hole the roof line , Wagon is in transit to New Zealand so will wait till resto starts and decide then.. if anybody finds a complete one im still interested ..

Redlands, Calif. is a very dry inland place in Southern CA, this should be a nearly rust free wagon find!

Exactly right Bill.

Thanks Rich, yes one owner so the car has lived in Redlands all its life.. the owner has passed away, I've been assured rust free ( small patch in drivers floor pan ) its running and has been at his daughters for 2 years ... I intend to keep it as original as possible, and garaged !
