The ad said it was made from a '59 Impala four door. I can see that being done. Don't know what they did with the front clip. Almost looks like they grafted some '64 Chevy parts.

The 59 Impala and El Camino look to me like the cab is on backwards.

I like it. Looks like something that could have been a concept car.

Wouldn't you like to go to the garden center and get a half yard of mulch in that?

To me, it looks like something that would come out of Australia. They have all kinds of little car-based trucks that we weren't allowed to have in the US until lately.

I'm pretty sure it was one of several kits available in the 60's to customize your Mustang. But that still doesn't make it right. Here's a few.

back in the 90's there was a guy here in new jersey that had a 69 corvette 427 4 speed wagon.
the car was hit in the rear and totaled. he bought it from the insurance company and used a front total malibu wagon to make make one car with the good pieces.
it actually came out pretty good.

I like the wagon, back seat was completely useless in them anyway..I used to see several Corvette conversions too when I lived in Toronto..

The wagon is very well executed, proportional, and period correct. They incorporated the C pillar wrap around rear window cleaning ventilation from the full size wagons from 65-68. It didn't really work as intended, but it looked cool.

I kind of liked it, too.
My folks bought a 67 Country Sedan in '72 similar to this without the wood grain sides. It was a very nice driving car with the 390. My dad rebuilt the engine in '76 at 140,000 miles with the help of some of his friends. I was always into cars since I was real young but this was my first indepth look into the workings of such things at 13. I got to be the cleaning grunt. What a great time that was.
