I believe the one on the right is a 1930's Mercury "streamline" wagon. Not sure on the actual manufacturer. If you check ebay # 220933611187 , it will bring you to one that recently sold for $299. Got to be one of the coolest wagons out there !!!!
The car on the right is Steelcraft sportster but in the firechief version. It probably had a bell on the front.
I think I have a wagon similar to yours. did you find any info?
will post a pic if you return comment.
The consensus seems to be that the wagon was made by Steelcraft (Murray) around the same time as the car. The car is a 1937 Steelcraft Ace.
