Yeah, Vista Cruisers had that same affect on me when I was younger

I have no problem with 44-50 year old ladies these days. They seem sorta young to me now for some reason

Look at that cute little car

**Steeveedee** · 02-05-2020, 11:28 PM

I always thought that those Nash Metropolitans were cool. There was a guy a couple blocks away who had one with some sort of replacement chassis and a Corvette engine. It had a straight axle up front and turned low 13s in the quarter, back in the '60s. He was also the father of at least one of the children of that sweet little corn-fed girl he dated. She missed both junior and senior years of high school as a result of those pregnancies. In those days the girls got sent to some home for unwed mothers, or something.

I found this on Pinterest. I don't have any details.

**FleetsidePaul** · 02-06-2020, 01:58 AM

I hope this hasn't already been posted. I'm too lazy to go through eight pages to find out.

**special-K** · 02-06-2020, 02:49 PM

A couple cool customs. When I first caught a glimpse of that '59 roofline scrolling down I thought it was a '59 Chevy with a '60 Ford station wagon top.

I like the 57 too. They should have made them. I don't care about a convertible. My Corvette has a targa top and its never been off.

This is the "Playbunny Coach" I saw this one in a body shop in Concord Ca. being restored years ago. '55 Nomad with a Vista Cruiser Roof!!!

**special-K** · 02-06-2020, 07:46 AM

I can't recall what Olds called those. Looks like it says Fiesta on the side, but that was a model name like Belair. Those are really rare compared to Nomads and Pontiac Safaris. I'm not sure that Buick did a version. But the Olds and Buick wagons were outta sight with their coupe roofline blended in

**FleetsidePaul** · 02-06-2020, 10:11 AM

The Olds is indeed a Fiesta. The Buick is a Caballero. Great looking cars.

Maybe not everyone appreciated them.

True. But not all of them... Just watch out for the ones that have a lot of cats.

I might end up showing ones I already showed because I don't feel like checking. Now that's lame!

**special-K** · 02-08-2020, 11:02 AM

When I was a kid in the '60s I looked a Tempest/Lemans station wagons and realized one could be made into a GTO wagon with simple parts swapping. I thought that would be so cool and wanted to do it some day. Never saw it done until I got on the internet, and now there are so many it ain't even funny

Pontiacs and an Olds

**FleetsidePaul** · 02-12-2020, 11:05 AM

There was one of these sitting by my house. It had been sitting a long time (4 flat tires) A 1966 Country Squire 7 Litre wagon. I really wanted to stop and see if it was for sale. But I was paying tuition for my kids and had just bought a fairly expensive house. So that was a no go.

Then one day I saw it being hauled away...On the back of a Pick A Part wrecker. They junked it.

**special-K** · 02-14-2020, 08:17 AM

Country Squire, a sexy wagon. Something about wood (looking) panels on the side of a wagon gives it a huge dose of class, agree?

yuccales · 02-14-2020, 08:50 AM

Laguna S3 wagons. The sb/bb engines were sure down on power by this time.

**special-K** · 02-14-2020, 10:00 AM

You could "say" you had a 454. That's about it. Still sounded good anyway

I do like 'em

And about any other

This is more my style.

Believe it or not. My hearse will do a burnout. Not like the one in the pic. But it'll spin the tires.(a little) It freaks people out seeing a hearse burning a little rubber.

I love it.
