I like the way the photo finally are on the same page. Glad I don't have to lose the post to get to the photos. Oh and that Chevy is awesome!

@buickboy92: Believe me, we've all been saying that, but they don't do it anymore - apparently the new gallery style is "progress" or some shit. Only when there's more than 20 photos, I say. Only when we need it.

I need to find that damn '76-ish Chevy wagon. It was, at one time, known as the Green Monster.

It was certainly green.

Not nearly as nice as this one, though. Think I'd rather have this than woodgrain.

Although the 68/69 Chevelles are my personal faves, Chevelle is one line where I would accept any--wagon, 2 door sedan, rag top, you name it--from year one up until at least 73--and consider myself a lucky dog to have it.

For this year I think every model except Nomad got 8 cylinders to play with.

Can't you just picture a Century 21 real estate agent (either a TV meteorologist-looking guy or Stepford-y woman) in his/her gold blazer wheeling that thing to open houses in '71?

Also, Chevrolet got a lot of mileage out of that upscale sounding name "Concours" -- it was used on an upscale version of the Nova a few years later.

@west-coaster: And then they let Cadillac use it on the hot rod DeVille in the mid- to late-'90s.

To my knowledge, the Concours was the higher trim level of the Chevelle wagon line-up while the Greenbrier, is the mid-level and the Nomad the lower level, here some pics of a 1970 Concours wagon taken from a Canadian Chevelle brochure

If FromaBuick6 has to watch one more Chevy commercial, he's going to punch Howie Long in the face

@stephdumas: That's what I thought. Although this one still looks pretty basic...needs more wood paneling. The Nomad must have been really cheapo if this is top of the line.

@Steven Dale Schmitt: I've been looking at Vibes/Matrices lately...for my girlfriend, of course. They have a decent line, but the roof rack on some of them is completely foul. As useless visually as a luggage rack on a C3 'Vette.

@Impalamino mkIV: Shopping for a vibe with your girlfriend?

(snickers)

In all seriousness, look at a WRX if you can.

If only the government of California were as friendly to cars as the weather, I might move out there. I remember what New Jersey weather did to a Nova of the same vintage (and color).

@zsvdkhnorc: California loves us some cars.

Just go pre-'75 and it's a free-for-all.

Additionally, we don't have yearly inspections.

@Orgasmatron: Bah! x2. Back in the day my folks bought a '72 (or '73?) Chevy Kingswood wagon new off the lot. That was the seriously Heavy Chevy. We called it The Land Barge.
