    Was that a change for all the wagons, or just the Olds?

    I have a lot to learn about these wagons - not sure what I'm doing with this one yet, but either way it's fun to learn...

    BTW - this car is in need of a right front fender. The old lady who owned it pulled over for passing traffic on a back road and made friends with a tree. I saw aftermarket fenders on ebay for less than $50 shipped. Seems too good to be true at that price. Has anyone had experience with these?

    The 442 idea is great but how about it being a "Hurst" wagon?

    Well, it sold quickly as I thought it would. The buyer intends to re-sell it in the spring. I asked him to let me know when it's for sale so I can pass the info along...

    I'm back to being wagonless for a while. Doesn't mean I love them any less though!!!:tiphat:

    Is there anything else? :rofl2: I don't even notice the other cars, anymore. I call them bubblegum cars, all round and hippy. Couldn't tell you if it was one brand or another, either.:disagree:
