    Each header panel is ~128 Kb using minimal jpeg compression. The original headers are ~28 Kb. I should be able to get any final drafts into that ballpark.

    I really like the idea of having different wagons from the past decades

    For the 60s, it would be better if a stock Mopar would be used

    We need to also include a Japanese and European wagon. Since these wagons
    dont have woodgrain, I think these car should use a variation of this logo

    For the European wagon, a Mercedes from the 80s would be a good choice

    For the Japanese wagon, a recent wagon like a Subaru or Mazda could be used

    Its kinda like our own little parade. :wave:
    There are so many I wanted to include!

    I went for 3 criteria:
    A) Found in our own gallery (for sake of permissions/copyright etc.)
    B) Good representation of the decade
    C) Photographic merit.
    all the while trying to get a good mix of manufacturers.


    We can do that. My personal choice would have been a 68 or 69 Le Mans/Tempest but we didn't have one.... and nothing says 1960's like Mopar Muscle. (y) That pic got big points for photographic merit. I'm open to suggestions for another candidate for this.


    Ha! I got so caught up in representing the decades, I completely forgot about the imports. Sorry man, you have one of each, right? :D

    I agree.

    Its nice and all but I think if I were in charge, id take it one step further. For example, id have window clings avaible, perhaps license plate frames, The logo is nice but for someone to appricate a wagon like they would any other collectable/desireable car ........it just is that much more to be proud of , dare to be different.
