1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Station Wagon

Old wagons are rare. Plenty were built, few survived. Go look for '55 Thunderbird. A search will quickly turn up dozens for sale. Then try to find a '79 Olds Cutlass wagon for sale. There aren't any.

A fair number of Chevelle wagons have survived; it's a pretty cool car. This is a base model Chevelle, it is not the more common Malibu trim. It appears the owner has dropped in the top engine from that era, the 396 V8. Pretty sure it did not come from the factory with that.

1968 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu

End of an era. 1968 was the first year for the 307 V-8, the last new Chevy engine in the rock-simple days before pollution control and various tweaks designed to improve gas mileage. 68 was also the last year you could buy a car with low-back seats. Beginning in 1969 all cars were required to have high-back seats or headrests.
