I believe I have come across a 57 Beauville 210 series 9-passenger wagon near Lindsay, Ontario.

I have a 32 so I don't know much about the 57; however, I assume that it may be rare or at least a model of interest?

The US production figures for the 9 Pass. Beauville were 21,083.I guess that would make it borderline rare.
The intrest in wagon has been on the increase.A 1957 is an easy year to restore as you can order just about all the parts thru one of the many vendors.Would make a good long distance travel car.
The "bottom" looks a little rusty-EH!

Well the production numbers don't lie but it was "rare" to me because I had never seen one of these Beauville before (the fact that the car is 3 years older than I am may have something to do with that).

The car may have been last plated in Montana in 1997. I don't know how much Ontario road salt the car has endured but I would have to agree with Chevy Nut, the bottom looks a bit iffy.

Maybe there is someone out there that thinks this is a "treasure" and if I can help lead them to it, great - EH!

As Gene says, might be "easy" to restore because you can just order so many parts.....

My concern would be the number of times you'd have to order parts. Everytime an order is placed the credit card comes out or another coffee can filled with $100's has to be dug up in the backyard, etc. Get my drift... Looks like a very expensive 'project.'

Sorta rare; sorta not. At 21,083 it's about the same production figure as the '57 Delray (25,644) we were talking about earlier today.

Just thinking out loud. It's definitely not for me; but for the 'right guy' it could be GREAT....

At the very least it's an interesting find and good that you shared it with us, eh.

Bill.

As I said on ChevyTalk, if this is a Canadian car, it is much rarer! The 9-passenger wagons were imported into Canada.
