Best year! Tough find! Great looking project! I'm excited for you. 

The wrecking yard I go to in the US has a 65 wagon but it's decently picked over (some of that by me) but if there's any unique wagon stuff you need let me know and I can check it next time I get there.

Good thing you ran out of things to do. Hate to see you get bored buddy.

That has to be a rare find today. Is it a Canadian-built car? 1965 was the last year they offered Nova trim on a Canadian Chevy II wagon.

The air deflectors at the rear corners of the greenhouse used to be common decades ago. The ones you have were $9.65 at Canadian Tire in 1969.

I did see a '65 Acadian version of your wagon in Hamilton, same colour and everything, but that must have been around 1982. I also did see another '65 Nova wagon that was in mint condition that looked like the Cypress Green one in the '65 brochure, but that was way back in 1987 in Virginia. I guess the point is they are so seldom seen that I have to go that far back in time to remember seeing one. You'd think they were nearly extinct.

Cool Jim! I'll have to come check it. Do we have to change the sign to Chevrolet Oldsmobile now?
