    I am an old customizer, with alternative fuel tendicies. My wagon has been running on biodiesel [homemade of course],for about 7 years. I own a few of these wagons and have always thought ,what if it was chopped,lowered and hot tuned. In my mind customizing an ugly car is the only way to go. and so I have started . Pics to come.

    That Mercedes might top this 1958 Buick Estate Wagon seen at the 2009 Buick National in Colorado Springs.
