Hi Jerry, thanks for your post. What engine did you install in the wagon ? Do you have any pictures of your 69 Wagon ?

I think there's some super vehicles above & I'd like to have many of them...

Thanks Jerry for your reply. It's great that you & your dad worked together on cars. It must run in your family

I like the Chevy Wagon & they make great surf wagons & great beach campers.

I really like the ones below

Hi `Curt, I agree & I'm glad that Chevy made them. I always liked the 56-57 Vette and the Split Window StingRays ( I owned them (LOL) or built models of them: )

Hi `Jerry & thanks for your reply.. I like the 55 NoMad's.
Would've, Should've, Could've & didn't




Jerry, if you could choose now, between the 69 Corvette that you have now, or the 63 Split Window Corvette your father had ? ? Which one would you choose or like to have now ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
