    In 1986 at the Indy 500, there was this very special Caprice Wagon :

    I know for sure that some Pontiac Safari wagons were at the 1989 Indy 500 but, after more than 10 years, I can't find any picture :(

    Now that is interesting, especially considering what GM powered it's factory wagons with from that era! I personal would have to loose the vette banner on the glass though ... and the wheels

    Hard to tell as I can't see the taillights well, but I'm thinking a '65 or '66 Plymouth.

    1962ChryslerNewport_02_700.jpg I'm going to say it's a 1962 Chrysler.
    Everybody else, what say ye?

    Not real sure the front bumper matches, however.


    Nope, I take it back. It appears to be a 1964 Dodge 880 wagon like Dan Scully's. That front bumper matches. I'd post a picture of Dan's, but I can't figure out how to add another picture after I've already posted one.
