But the brochure clearly shows a lot of trim in the Streamliner series, whereas here it looks extremely basic, so I've hesitated on this one. But, it looks like 1949 Wagons (which were part of the Streamliner series) were available in 6 or 8 cylinders, 8 or 6 passenger versions, in Standard or DeLuxe trim. I'm guessing this is the Standard model, even though the brochures don't show it ? Nearly identical example (apart from the gravel guard) : Link to "bringatrailer.com" -- Last edit: 2021-10-18 18:40:01
