Can anyone tell me what year and kind of Station wagon this is? My friend took this pic in California and ask me what this is but unfortunately I have no clue. Can anyone here tell me what it is please? Thank you!!!
The 1966 Plymouth Belvedere wagons were available in 3 trim levels, from bottom to top: Belvedere I; Belvedere II; and Satellite. The one shown in the pic by Toku is a Belvedere II.
Not quite. In 65-67, the Satellite was available only as a bucket seat 2 door hardtop and a convertible. In 66 there was a Belvedere I wagon and a Belvedere II wagon. In 67, a base Belvedere wagon was added to replace the discontinued Valiant wagon in pricing which then gave the line a 3rd wagon. In 68 the Belvedere name was the bottom of the line. The full range of 1968 Satellite models replaced 67's full range of Belvedere II models. The Sport Satellite was then added as a top of the line model (expanding on the 67 Satellite offerings) which included bucket seat convertible and 2 door hardtop, and luxury 4 door sedan and wood paneled wagon. GTX and Road Runners were also part of the line in 68 (and GTX in 67), but its easier to explain the hiearchy without the muscle car versions included. As for wagons in 68-70, there was a Belvedere wagon at the bottom, then the Satellite wagon, then the wood paneled Sport Satellite wagon. The Belvedere name was dropped completely after the '70 model year.
Ahhh...... I assumed too much. Went and reviewed the '66 Belvedere brochure on-line, saw the pics and description for the Belvedere I and II wagons, and for some reason assumed there would have been a Satellite wagon a well. Thinking back, I KNEW there was no Satellite wagon (until '68) - it's just something I forgot. Getting the old CRS disease - for real.
