Would this be considered a really short wagon?

Yes! That is such a short wagon it's not a wagon. But it may be worth the asking price of $11.00

 

Uh, no. Not a short wagon. Says "runs good" - I don't think they "ran good" when new, and I bet 35 years hasn't improved the situation.

What about this? They call it a wagon.

 

Yes - that's a wagon. Those AMC's appeal to my affinity for oddball cars!

 

Umm, it is a wagon.

 

The Pacer, yes. The Dodge, nope.

Its all about the ratio of height to length of the cargo area that divides the line between wagon and hatchback.

 

Yeah, pacer is a wagon, the Dog is a hack back

 

Colts downunder we call a hatch back as for the Pacer its border line . A wagon to me should be able to fit more than your supermarket Stuff

 

My Dad had a little Colt that he pulled along behind his motorhome. Great little car! Only problem was when the starter died on the Colt - you have to disassemble the top third of the engine to r/r it!!! But, it got 44 miles per gallon, and had that cool hi/lo transmission in it. For that inner trucker in you, you could row through all eight gears, if you really wanted to!

 

I think that body style of Colt came out in '79 if I'm not mistaken. I would drive one of those in a second if it wasn't covered in rust. But I like the dependability of EFI that my little Festiva gives me.

 

Its probaly the only that year colt still on the road.
