Not too bad, has been stretched. Some interesting cars in the background. Pic appears to be from the early 70's.

This makes me wonder, is there a sports car in every AMC Pacer just waiting to get out?

I've seen pictures of that car before, but I don't know anything about it.

The picture has to be from at least 1980, because the two El Caminos are 78 or newer, and the Corvette that can be seen over the wagon's roof, is an 80-82.

Hi,
I believe it's the 67 Nomad that Chevrolet fortunately decided not to build.

The rear reminds me of the Volvo P1800 wagon, which I like..this not so much.
I always wonder if cars like this (including concept cars) were mass produced, would they be sought after then/today.
Fair to say people want what's the newest greatest thing to hit the streets, and accept the designers interpretation of what that should be, which in turn becomes the norm.

Too many pillars and it looks like they shortened the door. If they would've removed all those extra pillars, chopped the roof about 4-6 inches AND kept the door, the stock length, it might've come off, just a wee bit better (IMHO!).

Here's another shot. I see a for sale sign on the dash, wonder what it went for back in the day.

That was the '67 BB vetteneer wagon model.
Ultra rare, alludes most collections/collectors.
Car has not been seen since NAM.
I think I could get 100k on Ebay for it
It is an ugly duckling but I love bull dogs too.
Definitely allot of time and creatvity went into it back in the day.
Days of the **** wagon.

This probably came off, just a little bit better...
(maybe because it was a wagon to begin with!)
