    Very nice! I'm betting the seller has a pretty good idea of its value, since he said he collects these wagons. It will be interesting to see where he has set his reserve, if it makes reserve.

    Did anybody zoom in on that spare tire pan? I might be seeing things but it really looks like it could be dented on the bottom.

    I kind of thought it was. I think that it has a few other minor issues too.

    Auction ended. High bid in this second round was $5,300--significantly lower than the $7,100 in the first auction.

    The last three auctions of clam shell wagons ( an Olds CC, a Buick Estate, and this Pontiac) didn't meet the seller's reserve. Was that $18,00 Buick Estate auctioned a few weeks ago an anomaly? I'm beginning to think so.

    The interior on this one is remarkable. Most of the clamshells seem to have aged, chalky interior trim.
