    Hello to all, My wife and I have agreed that we are going to search out a original SUV, The station wagon. I am more partial to the 70-72 vista cruisers. My wife had a 73 Torino wagon as her first car, in the midwest. We look forward to chit chat with other wagon guys, gals, and families.

    If anyone has any leads on a wagon that only needs minor to moderate repairs please forward the information to us, If anyone is looking to sell there 4 wheeled child, we would love to adopte it and give it a great home here in Az.

    Thanks for the welcome, Originaly I am a Pontiac man, but since I wanted the wife to be part of this experience, I had her sit down with me in front of the computer and stat looking at some wagons. She picked out the 70-72 Olds style, she loves the wood grain sides. I think out 2 bassett hounds would love riding in the back of the wagon and I don't have to worry about one of them jumping out.

    You have a couple of dogs too...well you are going to fit in just fine. You may not have to have a wagon to be a member on this forum, but having a couple of pouchs will almost make you king :yup:

    Kolby,

    Would you and your wife consider a '71 Chevy Kingswood? There is someone here, screen named "cegow" who recently posted a mention that he is selling. I think he might be the original owner, if I recall correctly what I read.

    Good luck and enjoy your search! Welcome to the family!

    You can call me station wagon
    You can call me wagon
    You can call me S.W.
    I'll even answer to longroof...
    Just don't call me an SUV!:taz::biglaugh:


    I'll keep my eyes peeled.
    I'm thinking of selling mine, I won't until I have something else lined up though, another wagon of course.
    It won't be inexpensive and if I can't get the money I'll keep it, mid to upper teens.
    But then again...:rofl:
