Rod Carlson really loves old cars, and he's got a lot of them — more than 50 at last count. Most of them are low-mileage originals, or unusual models that may have been restored, but are authentic and unchanged from the factory.
Carlson hopes someday to open a museum in his hometown of Wausau, Wis., to display all his cars and other car-related collectibles — he has everything from scooters and gas pumps to original dealership neon and old-school roadside restaurant artifacts.
If the museum ever becomes a reality, it's going to be packed, and one of the cars that will surely be getting the star treatment front and center is Carlson's sweet 1953 Pontiac Chieftain "tin woodie" wagon. Carlson has cars that are certainly more valuable, and even more rare, than the venerable green wagon, but none that he treasures more.
