1959 Wagon (Maverick?) Port Orange, FL Make Offer

Isn't this a Maverick? It lacks the emblem on the cowl that was on some (all?) 1959s.

    In my opinion, I think it was re-painted at one point in time, (color scheme is reversed, white & red) from factory color paint, But I do think this is an early Maverick. I had a 1960 Maverick 2 wheel drive wagon with the same trim one piece windshield, and dead give away, the basket weave trim around the instrument cluster.

      Mike, I thought there was something off about this ... maybe it was the color flip you mention. - Dave

    excuse me , the 1st 100 Mavericks had the cool Kaiser cast airplane ? Rocket ? cast emblem on the cowl trim . I sold one a few years ago for LONG GREEN . I spotted a 1 of 100 Maverick in a wrecking yard in Stockton ? Calif. a few months ago . All the good stuff was gone and it was cut to pieces , so sad ..

    The first 100 did come with the Kaiser emblem but they were 1958s. This is a 1959 so it has the same basic chrome without the emblem. As for the paint, there were 8 tu tone combinations. 4 color combinations and then the reverse. This could be the correct colors. Bill

      Thanks Bill. Finding accurate wagon info continues to be a challenge (for me anyway).
