    Elvis had a good choice of music! Check the cassette.
    Wonder why they don't put it in the Graceland museum with some of his other cars?

    I like this one. Pretty classy.

    Being a '72, technically it should have had a 'clamshell' wagon conversion, but instead the builder used the older GM wagon body pieces. Either one would be OK to me.

    I think that rear end fits the car much better than a clam would. JMHO.

    Well I wouldn't get all shook up about either rear door treatment if I had that wagon. I could still haul my hound dogs in it. I think it rocks!:rofl2::rofl2:

    Perspnally, I prefer the rear of this one, using the 70 type of tail gate. I also like that it is based on a Sedan de Ville, not the Fleetwood. A 4 door hard top wagon is, to me, the ultimate in stylish cruising.

    I read somewhere once that the famous pink '55 Fleetwood he bought and had painted for his mother was found on the back forty thoroughly trashed from neglect, but was later restored, thankfully. This wagon is certainly museum worthy!

    What's an 8-track? :rofl2:
    I hated both of those things. No more than got a song started and it was over or the tape ended up all over the consol.:slap:

    The body lines look weird on this wagon - the bottom of the car from the back edge of the front wheel well to the front edge of the back wheel well doesn't match the body line at the back edge of the rear wheel well. It looks a lot lower. They should have made that line a continuous flowing line from front to rear. The rear end looks like it doesn't fit.

    Over here, on this side of the pond, they have these telephones for old cats which have oversized number keys. I suppose, it works the same way with 8-tracks which look like overgrown cassettes to young people?

    Anything he couldn't take with him should have been put in that museum. Even, if it wasn't drivable :49:
