    There's your '68 Caprice hidden headlights, boys!
    Beautiful wagon, Rick. Did it come with the hidden lights (very rare), or did you have o source all the parts (probably even harder)?

    BTW, that wheel / tire combo looks like the perfect size - not too big, not too small.

    I love those rims, the paint, the hidden headlights and, of course, the woodgrain (not to mention what's under the hood!). The woodgrain looks to me like the same as used on the late '70's Pontiac Bonneville Safaris - reddish in tone with an interesting pattern, and perfect for that shade of blue. Keep that baby mint! :dancing:

    Nice, Rick, very nice. That is one of the prettiest Caprice wagons I've ever seen. Beautiful.

    Very nice indeed!!

    I love the classic "Hot Wheels" 5 spoke mags. That is what I want for my own wagon.
