    I always thought attaching the word "Estate," which conjures up images of a large, sweeping plot of land surrounding a mansion, to the Vega as a bit much.

    "Caprice Estate?" Yes.
    "Electra Estate?" Yes.
    "Vega Estate?" No.

    I know what you are saying, but in Chevy Talk it just means the car has "alternate wood" attached to the sides and rear.

    I've seen plenty of Vega Estate wagons........
    I've seen plenty of Vega GT wagons (actually quite common when new)
    I've NEVER seen a Vega GT Estate wagon........

    I knew they made them with wood, but didn't know or remember Estate being attached.. It's like, "I've got a horse ranch 500 kazzilion acres, a 4555 cubic inch V-24, 95 passenger ESTATE wagon and comparing it to as kinda mentioned....... I have a small estate, 1/2 acre, got 3 chickens in a coop out back, would bring the dozen eggs to market, but the Vega is always in the shop.............
