    They should realize that is a Kingswood Estate and not a Impala Wagon...

    Okay, I'll ask: What does it mean when a car has been "bagged"?

    Also, is it me or does the wood grain on this one look a bit dark and shiny to be original?

    Regardless, this does indeed look like a nice wagon, especially for the asking price.

    Air bags! and yes you are right, the wood looks too dark compared to Kingswoods 72 to be original.

    It means you should do this to the car.

    Haha! We've definitely seen plenty of cars where this would be warranted!

    I think brown paint has been substituted for the original wood grain.

    Yeah, I was thinking that or perhaps the wood grain might be a modern "wrap" product..? Car still has great curb appeal, save the 'lowered" look and those wheels.
