1964 Chevy II wagon


This wagon had just made the trip down the eastern Sierra when I saw it in Santa Barbara. Nice machine and a great RV with room to sleep 2. Running a new-ish 283: this is Autoliterate's kind of car. Kind of a sleeper--not in the classic sense, its not gonna take your money racing in the street, there's no 409 hidden there---but a plain jane of an old American original that's not been over-restored or mangled but is totally, enthusiastically driveable. We caught the 1965 edition of this wagon (by '65 it was a Nova) last year, a couple blocks away.
