In Case You Thought A Wagon Couldn't Be a Hot Rod

Good catch!
Maybe they cut down the fins so that the kids could see better out of the rear-facing "gooney" seat.
(I'm not sure why we always called the backwards third seat in a wagon a "gooney" seat back in the day . . . I used to think it had something to do with the tail gunner on a bomber (too much viewing of "Twelve O'Clock High" (1949 film and TV series 1964-1967) perhaps).
But then the "gooney bird" aircraft -- Douglas C-47 Skytrain -- didn't have a tail gunner . . . .)

We called it the "way back seat".

II have a good friend who is building a '64 Studebaker station wagon (factory retractable roof version) with a hot rod Studebaker V8 and a 5 or 6 speed transmission. Hopefully it will be ready for Power Tour. I think this wagon could surely be considered a hot rod.
