    Nice wagon for sure! Wish I could find one of these I could afford. The body style is just so cool.

    Very cool. And not very expensive, back in the day, either. :)

    See the USA in your Chevrolet. What's wrong with you boy?

    That is a nice looking wagon but what's a mattress option?

    Something about the silver paint and the chrome together. Makes my heart pump faster!

    Oh! Now I understand. I'm not much into remembering movies and who starred. I just remember Doris Day sponsored Chevrolet on her TV shows.

    As for me, I'll watch old 60's TV shows and movies, just to see what cars they drive. I know in one movie, Doris Day drove a 65 Coronet convertible and in another movie, she drove a 66 Coronet convertible, in another she drove a 63 Dodge Polara convertible, and in one she took a 63 Imperial convertible through a car wash with the top down. In her TV show she drove the 69 Sport Satellite wagon and a 70 Challenger convertible, but in the opening sequence for the show, she drives a 69 Barracuda convertible.
    "Bewitched", "Partridge Family" and "Route 66" always had Chevys.
    "I Dream of Jeannie", "My Three Sons" and "Family Affair" always had Pontiacs.
    "The Andy Griffith Show", "Hazel", "Outer Limits", "Twilight Zone", "the Invaders", and "The FBI", always had Fords.
    "Mannix" (except the last season), "The Name of the Game", "Mayberry RFD", "Doris Day Show", "Batman", "The Green Hornet", Marcus Welby MD", and the "Brady Bunch" all had Mopars.
    Some shows, like "The Fugitive", "Leave it to Beaver", and "Run For Your Life" seemed to switch back and forth from Ford to Mopar (but no GM).

    On some old TV shows, you may notice that reflective tape is placed over the car's emblems so that no manufacturer names or trademarks are seen on screen.
