Would this be considered a really short wagon?

    Yes! That is such a short wagon it's not a wagon. But it may be worth the asking price of $11.00:rofl2:

    Uh, no. Not a short wagon. Says "runs good" - I don't think they "ran good" when new, and I bet 35 years hasn't improved the situation.

    Yes - that's a wagon. Those AMC's appeal to my affinity for oddball cars!

    The Pacer, yes. The Dodge, nope.

    Its all about the ratio of height to length of the cargo area that divides the line between wagon and hatchback.

    Colts downunder we call a hatch back as for the Pacer its border line . A wagon to me should be able to fit more than your supermarket Stuff :sweep:

    My Dad had a little Colt that he pulled along behind his motorhome. Great little car! Only problem was when the starter died on the Colt - you have to disassemble the top third of the engine to r/r it!!! But, it got 44 miles per gallon, and had that cool hi/lo transmission in it. For that inner trucker in you, you could row through all eight gears, if you really wanted to!

    I think that body style of Colt came out in '79 if I'm not mistaken. I would drive one of those in a second if it wasn't covered in rust. But I like the dependability of EFI that my little Festiva gives me.
