Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
Just find yourself a matching GTX hood. Black paint is expensive

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
The cars that Heller fella builds would look a whole lot better with a custom wheel and tire set up from the era the car wants to be. Im not talking about wide white walls and lancer caps. More of the piner thin white walls and maybe some Radirs

That is my biggest problem with the wagon... No parts. Mechanical yes but cosmetic, Eh???? Not so much. Just like my Packard. We get spoiled with our trucks. You may not like the price of parts but you can get them,

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
You ain't looking at no Kia Sedona. That's for sure! That second Buick wagon looks like is was just a basic model, but it ain't no Plain Jane by any means
The Hurst kids traveled in style I did work for a builder into the '90s who always drove a Caprice Kingswood Estate. He got a new one every few years. Here are some Plymouths for you (and a Dodge)

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
I had 2 friends in high school with station wagons. A Vista Cruiser and a Rambler. The rambler was really something in the woods. It was the vehicle of choice for our hidden keg parties.

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
How about this one from an early episode of Starsky & Hutch. There were several other pics of it, but the Starsky Torino never got in a chase with it. Owner probably wouldn't risk wrecking it. I remember it, though.
![]() The episode is titled "JoJo" AND, how many of us had one of these.......in some other color perhaps? Aw Man, the Alive '55 was one of my favorites back in the day!...before kids stayed inside all day playing video games and trying to figure out which restroom they wanted to use. ![]()

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
I like this 68 with the dog dish caps.
![]() I'm not so sure about the Sassy Grass Green color on it. Although I did own a 71 Duster 340 that had exactly the same paint. That's how I know it's called Sassy Grass. That is the actual name from the factory. My buddy's would make jokes about it. My ex hated that car. She wouldn't ride in it. That's why I kept it. ![]() ![]() This isn't my car. It's a 70 but it's almost identical. Same wheels and the Shark tooth grille. Don't ask me why they called it that. And I didn't have the 340 sticker thing on the hood. I hate to think what that thing is worth today. I can't find any pics of my car. What else is new. ![]() ![]() Now I've just got to find a 440 for my wagon. ![]()

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
Yeah buddy. Those little 340 Dusters were something. I rode in a few Dusters, Road Runners and Challengers. They'd scoot pretty good.
One of my buddies Dad owned the Dodge/Plymouth dealership and they had a repo'd black 340 Duster and of course my bud was allowed to take it around so he let 5 of us go too. 6 of us were crammed in there and he let it rip on a long straight. We were moving when a long right hander came up and we were going way too fast to make that curve. He went in far to the right shoulder and came out far on the shoulder of the left lane. We were lucky to have made it. If we had rolled I was a gonner as I was the smallest of us 3 in the back seat, not to mention we could have hit someone in their lane. I had a couple of similar instances, with someone else driving. Slow learner I guess..

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
Yup. That 340 could defiantly get out of it's own way and smoked the tires. I liked the 340 and the 440 that I had in my 68 Charger.
I know you are a die hard Chevy guy Boog. But I like a little of everything. Cars are like women. Even the ugly ones with bad reputations can be a lot of fun. I'm really looking forward to digging into this wagon.

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
From a wrecking yard I visited a couple years ago. 3 Safari wagons all were 455 cars.
And an early screaming chicken installation. I had a friend who owed a 68 like last picture. It was verdoro green. Super cool car with factory bucket seats, no console, 4 speed, AC, disc brakes, a posi 12 bolt and with a 428! He every bit of paperwork from day one. I tried several times to buy it from him to no avail.

I think the fastest I have ridden in a car (back seat) was in a purple 340 Duster with white interior. Before I-95 was even built they had dualized Rt216 from this country road (Gorman Rd) a ways west of the proposed location of I-95, built the bridge over, and on down the road a good ways before necking down to 2-lane. It was a couple miles of new wide open hiway in the middle of nowhere. Almost the county line, too. I swear this one night riding in that Duster I read 140 mph on the speedometer. Yeah, those Flashing green ones are pretty cool, but this is the one for me. '65 Fury 383 Going newer like yours I'd go this route. This one is a '74

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
I have been wanting a wagon for a long time. Found this 1953 Pontiac less than 20 miles from home. It has a1955 Pontiac 287 v8 installed with a 3 speed manual transmission. Hope to get a few things finished up soon and enjoy driving it.

My '57 Nomad. I bought it in the mid '70's. I will have to see if I can find a better picture of it.

Re: Pic Thread: Station Wagons
I like the poverty caps. But my car has slots which I also love. I suppose that I could just swap them around.
I really like this fat bottomed girl. ![]()

I couldn't tell you. I assume fairly recent

I always wanted a Nomad or Safari. What a crime to let that one rot into the ground. maybe it could still be a donor to convert a solid sedan or wagon into a safari. Not counting a few Suburbans, which are station wagons, I've had a few other station wagons. I have always had a thing for them since I was a kid. I've had a '55 210 4dr, a '65 Biscayne, and a '75 Malibu Classic. I've had a '71, a '91, and now have a '95 Suburban
