    I'm collecting pictures on the web since 15 years.
    I hope some people here would have some other pics to share, but it appears to be difficult.
    So I'll share all the Indy SW's photos that I have.

    Here is 1963 now with some Chrysler SW's :

    I never thought about wagons at the Indy or really any other races but the drag races and Bonnieville. I was missing out on some pretty neat pictures. Thank you for posting them.

    So, the Camaro was the pace car for '67 and '69. Interesting. I remember seeing alot of '69's on the road with the pace car emblems, but not so much the '67.

    I have found no wagons from 1971 to 1976.
    So here is at the 1977 Indy 500 :
