    I'm not really fond on this conversion type. I much prefer the ones that graft on a proper clam shell wagon back. They LOOK like G.M. wagons. These look cobbled together.

    I have to agree. It's neat, and I appreciate the work that went into it, but the back just doesn't look right to me.

    Sorry, but my first reaction is yuck. I would rather have a late 60s early 70s Cutlass to represent GM.

    Not much 'engineering' went into this conversion. No floor pan modification, so no third seat. No regular tailgate - only a lift-up hatch, with no roll-down window, either. It's really just a big Fleetwood 5-door hatchback.
