    While we're waiting for Krash to take his turn posting a wagon to guess make, model and year, I'll post a couple of Chevy wagons and you guys just tell me what country each is from. A correct answer would have BOTH countries correct.
    The bottom two pictures are two views of the same Chevrolet model.

    I've already told you these two are Chevys. This can't be that hard. All I'm asking for is the country of orgin for these two Chevy wagons. I'm a Mopar guy and I knew the answer before searching for the pics. A correct answer would have both countries correct. If it helps at all, the second one is a 1988 model.

    Way too far north for both wagons, but a good guess.

    South America is a continent not a country. Nice attempt in trying to slip a whole collection of countries in there together in one guess.

    Time for another hint: Look closely at the steering wheel and mirrors on the green wagon.

    ... Germany? Austria? In part I also want to say that Italy is another guess? I however might also suggest that England could be a possibility for the green one, but in truth I have no idea.

    Nope, Nope, Nope and...ah...Nope.:)

    Krash really should take his turn posting a wagon to identify. This is fun.
    Fannie wanted to keep this game going, but she hasn't even posted a guess yet. Whats up with that?

    Time for another hint. The green one is Not from Australia, but I believe it has an awful lot in common with the Australian Holden.

    I wanna say South Africa. The older one reminds me of this handsome 'Chevelle-esque' (or is it Cadillac?) model, esp if you study
    the doors and side glass. (Plus, you did that cool So. Africa Dodge Dart post recently so I figure you're still in the zone...)

    Thats right. The green wagon is a Chevrolet Constantia from South Africa.

    Heres a hint for the other Chevy wagon. It is also from south of the equator.

    I assume those began life as Opals but were sold as Chevys in So.Africa.
    For the other one, I was thinking Brazil, but I wonder if they were also built/sold in Argentina...

    This one has some nice body modifications. It's a good looking wagon.

    The whole line is attractive and this old hard top SS coupe has a great roof line...
