'57 Provincial wagon in Dick's back yard

Is this the same one on Ebay now for $3500? Appears to be black with red/white Interior.

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/332051418768

No that is another Bellingham, WA Provincial Wagon not Coppertone & Black like the other one.
This one was seen here at it's last eBay Sale and also this "flipper"s last attempted eBay sale.

Actually, for a driver in decent shape, that price seems rather reasonable. Most especially with what I've been seeing on the 'bay a lot lately. I have a parts car for it that even has a decent original front seat in it, if anyone here gets this wagon. You'd have to reupholster the seat as mine is turquoise and white, not to mention rather shabby. But the outer shell of the car is pretty good.

I find it interesting that she gives a link to her photobucket (have I mentioned lately how much I detest Photobucket?) account with the previous owner's photos.

Car was originally Red as seen by current color peeling off the cowl ID plate.

When was the last 1956 President wagon up for sale? They must be the rarer ones.

The Northern Calif. Chapter used to have 3 of those '56 Wagons in the Area, beautifully restored Commander Parkviews and President Pinehursts.

But it has been a LONG time since any were for sale, especially Pinehursts.
Maybe slightly rarer than '57 President Broadmoors.

All Wagons were run long and hard, and most were used up and sent to Japan in the 1970's to become Toyotas or Datsuns.

Well, if you're going to include '56 Commander Parkviews in your estimation, then you can make that count four, though I don't belong to the Chapter.
