    Beautiful wagons. I love the ‘68 entire Chevy line up, probably prejudice. We had a ‘68 Impala wagon. Also have a soft spot for your ‘57. I have a 210. Delightful car to drive. F2119CD3-C838-4FBD-8AFB-F9AC4FF7C1DB.jpeg

    Welcome to SFW. Some day our Beaumont is going to look as good as your Chevelle.
    Amazing wagons you have there.

    @57Handmn Welcome to the forum. Hopefully you don't take your '57 out to do donuts in the snow during the winter! :eek:;) But seriously, looks like you have a couple of real sweet rides there!

    Cheers.

    Thank you. I really love 210s and 150’s in sedan and wagon form. Probably cause they are not BelAirs. It seems there are more of these now than in ‘57. Guess I have more issues with the owners. The cars are certainly cool, and nice enough. Seems like our local Chevy club is that if you own a tri-five Chevy, non BelAir, and it’s not a Fuely, or have a 350 crate motor stuffed in it, they look at you like you have a load in your pants. You enjoy your Metallic bright blue BelAir with a blower. I drive and love my little 235 - 6 with 3 on the tree.

    I love all manner of vintage vehicles, but by far my favorite is the 57 chevy. If I could have one in any flavor I would like, I'd take a top of the line Bel Air two door hardtop. But that doesn't mean I don't like the 150's or the 210's. In fact the 57 chevy that got me hooked was my Dad's 57 two door 210 wagon. It was gone long before I was born, but his stories about that car and seeing pictures of what it would have looked like grabbed my imagination and I was never the same.
