Don't see this every day

Last week, something caught my eye as I drove around the city going about my daily grind. There's an automotive shop near City Hall. They do a pretty brisk business, and seem to specialize in antique and vintage autos. There always seems to be two or three interesting old beauties parked out front waiting to be worked on.

This week there was an odd one that I had never seen the likes of before:

Its a 1962 Chevrolet Station Wagon - but it has 8 doors instead of 4! I guess technically it has 9 doors, if you count the rear gate.

I've never seen one like it, and I'm almost positive that Chevy never rolled a stretch station wagon off the assembly line. I'm sure it is someone's project - and man it looks pretty cool to me!
