Hi Jennifer: I have a '61 9 passenger Newport wagon finished about 
2-3 years ago. The third seat was missing. I found a '63 New Yrkr 9
psgr wagon with good 3rd. seat. It was perfect. I believe any C
body 9 passenger wagon from '60 through '64 will work. You will
need to get the hinges and all brackets etc. If the spare tire is in
the back well, you might have to make some other arrangement.
As for the tail gate they are kind of tricky. It will have to be taken
off the vehicle and worked on by a 'good' body shop. They are
a bear.
Good luck.
