This was at Carlisle 2 years ago. I was always intrigued by these but would not want one.

the only corvette wagon that i would ever want. I think this one actually works with the styling of the car. it does not have the 'tacky bolt on' look and feel to it

I'm not a big fan of the vette wagon but this 72 looks like a GT racer I like it.....

I really like that one. I believe that's the one I have seen at Carlisle a couple of times. Very well done

I'm not really diggin' the low roof. the other version with taller rear windows works better to my eye. IIRC, the prototype Corvette Nomad used a taller windshield that was very similar to the one used on '56-'62 cars.

(IMHO, street rodders are way too obsessed with the "chopped" look. Some vehicles work well that way, like '49 Mercs. Other just start to look disproportionate.)

The problem with the C3 wagon as I see it is, it reminds me way too much of the Pinto...
