    It's actually not a bad design overall. And "Missing Link" is a quality resin body manufacturer.
    Looks like they used a coupe rear window and molded that to a roof clear back on the stock trunk lid. To my eye that gives the rear end a dumpy look. Most wagons have taller rear ends and no lines that fall away past the rear wheel arch.
    On a purely utilitarian level, I would never have tilted the rear window so low as it cuts into hauling capacity.
    4-door over a 2-door is sort of a personal thing, but I'd have left it a 2-door. However, they did this conversion well from the AMT kit. I see little faws in the molding.

    Although much thought and work were obviously put into it, I'm not sure if the coke bottle body of the era is working well together to what usually is a straight flow through roof design on the traditional wagon. Different though.
    I've always liked what Mopar did with the MAGNUM chop top. It was done without interupting the clean look of the roof with an overstated hump.

    Interesting design, keep them coming... :clap:

    One thing I noticed is that the interior tub is still scribed with the longer 2-door doors.

    When imagining these 'phantom' wagons, my mind is always putting them together with wagon parts from other vehicles from the same manufacturer. No way would a manufacturer tool up for a very limited production run having to make specific tail gates, glass, roof panels, front and rear doors, and quarter panels. This is one wagon that you would have never seen in real life.
