Yup - exactly. I stumbled upon this on the big dubba-dubba-dubba while looking for wagons for my other 'home'....

Haven't found any written material on it, though. Even a guy with a dedicated '60 Plymouth website has nothing on it. Could have been a prototype for a 'possible' factory offering, which was cancelled; could have been maybe a one-off for a senior guy for Plymouth in the HQ.

Maybe that Plymouth is like the Cadillac station wagons that Hess & Eisenhart built for the big muckety mucks at GM for years, a one off for some long gone executive.

Now who can identify this next mystery car?

Correct again Krash, always one of my favorites, they just never had enough motor to deliver on those fantastic looks.

We eagerly await your next obscure mystery car/wagon.

I will sit this round out because not only do I know what this is, but I know its owner too. A hint for the guessers, this ain't no ordinary Corvair.

That's funny I grabbed a pic at random and you know the owner......
Not really surprised, though.
