C5 Vette Wagon

I saw a thread yesterday about some old C3 wagon conversions that were a little popular in the '70s and I got to wondering what a C5 wagon would look like. So my apoligies in advance, but I fired up photoshop and spent about 15 minutes on it.

My conclusion: it would look kind of silly. (besides, you wouldn't gain much storage space as the rear glass is already pretty sizable.)

I kind of like it. Reminds me a bit of the Solstice with the hardtop that makes it look like a Nomad.

Man, I loved that Solstice-based Nomad concept that Chevy was showing a year or so back. That thing would be on my short list if they ever made it.

Thank God it's only photoshop!

People are never satisfied, those who have a station wagon, want a corvette and some of those who have a corvette, want a station wagon...

Of course not. That's why people put in white gauge faces and aluminum trim rings. If the car came this way we would be swapping in black gauge faces and taking off the trim rings! Changes don't neccessarily make it better, just different.

Don't get me started on some of the interior mods I've seen on this forum. Just because some vendor makes something doesn't mean you should put it in your car....but, each to his own.

Reminds me of the 70's cult movie "Harold and Maude"; where Bud Cort (why do I remember these people's names?) pulls out a torch and turns a beautiful E-type Jag into a hearst. Scary!

I always wanted a C3 wagon, the side windows in back opened in a gull wing fashion. I also wanted the late 70's Trans Am conversion. I had a '77 black TA and would love to have had it modded.
