I put a gazillion happy miles on an Aluminum block Slant Six.

It also took really well to overheating.

Giving someone a ride to the airport in winter decades ago, I realized I had my town driving cardboard radiator air blocker was fully in place, and it overheated bad while climbing a long freeway hill I had no choice but to ride it out.

As usual with Mopar engines, no harm done at all.
 
Finally picked up wagon last night. Wagon came from junkyard near Roswell New Mexico. Maybe a Area 51 car?
US government ID and fender tag.

On tailgate you can where it said
US ARMY. On the other side of tailgate I can’t quite make it out? Perhaps a ID #.
I put a period correct license plate on it.

Ken,
Nice find !! Always great when locate a wagon parts car that isn't trashed !!

In case you are not aware, the Rear Bumper center section DOES Interchange between the 1960 and 1961 station wagons.

However, they are NOT Identical. The license plate lamps are Different on 1960 and 1961 wagons, because 1960 models have a separate reverse lamp set-up.
If you need more details contact me directly - Chas
