1960 Chevrolet Parkwood Wagon: Jonathan Goolsby Interview!
I’m back at the 2026 World of Wheels Birmingham, and I ran into my friend Jonathan Goolsby of Goolsby Customs. He’s always got something cool in the booth, but this 1960 Chevrolet Parkwood Wagon really caught my eye.
Built to Be Driven
This isn't a fresh-off-the-rotisserie build; this wagon has soul. The black paint is about 20 years old—it still has a killer shine that grabs the light, but it shows some honest wear that tells you this car has seen the road. In our interview, Jonathan talks about the balance of keeping that history while completely modernizing what’s underneath.
The Modern Goolsby Touch
Don't let the "experienced" paint fool you—underneath, it’s all Goolsby quality:
Big Block Power: It features a modern 454 with throttle body injection (TBI), giving it that big block rumble with modern-day reliability.
The Stance: A full modern chassis with updated suspension and big brakes makes this long-roof handle like a dream.
The Wheels: It's sitting on brand-new, custom aluminum wheels that give it a sharp, aggressive edge against the classic 1960 lines.
Fresh New Interior
Jonathan walks us through the brand-new custom black leather interior. It’s a total contrast to the exterior—clean, high-end, and featuring some very cool black and silver inserts that really set the whole cabin off.
Big thanks to Jonathan Goolsby for taking the time to give us the "insider" look at this build. If you love wagons that are built to actually hit the highway, this is one you don't want to miss
