1957 Wagon Phoenix, AZ $8500

UPDATE: Dan forwarded me the wagon's plates.

Dan spotted this wagon. He wrote, this '57 has the rear ambulance doors of a Parkway but the regular side windows of a wagon. It has the GSA plate on the glovebox; maybe it's a special order?

1957-wagon-phoenix-gov-plate22 — Serial number appears to be 4168 32583. The prefix should be five digits. Working backwards, the it is possible the '8' refers to 4x4 and '6' refers to the L-head six. The '41' could refer to a wagon. Maybe the '5' that should be preceding the 4186 is covered?

1957-wagon-phoenix-gov-plate12 — The government plate serial number of 32583 matches VIN plate. There is not stamp indicating the military branch served by this jeep. Date of Delivery was July 1957.

Ooo, another plate. I think they are cool. Locks in a little history with the rig.

Pictures of the gov plate and the VIN plate have been added. The VIN plate's prefix is confusing.

Looks like some kind of factory special order to me.

Oh and I think the stamped prefix is "4168" and missing the leading 5 which would make it 54168 (a 226 4x4 wagon). I could be completely off though.

Agreed, after a second look it does look like a 4 and not a 1. Maybe the 5 is covered?
