    I just bought a 1967 Vista Cruiser. My parents had a 65 and then a 69. This is my first wagona nd so far it has been great. Can't believe how many people shout out what a cool car it is. I have a 71 Chevelle Malibu that doesn't get near as much attention.

    :Welcome: Nice looking wagon. I get more attention from my Eagle wagon than I ever did from my Mustang SVO.

    Thanks for the compliments. Oh, I have no intention of replacing the spokes. Someone I know suggested 22" wheels and I told him he was crazy.
    The car had an enamel repaint in the mid 80's and doesn't have a lot of shine left in it and has a very small amount of bubbling around the vista windows. A decent repaint is about the only thing that it needs. I'll have to wait to see when it fits into the budget.
    I should probably wait until I get out of the second grade before I make any major decisions about the car . LOL

    Beautiful car. My father bought one new when I was 10 years old. We took several family trips in it. I remember it pretty well, although I remember thinking, as only a 10-year-old could, that while the vista windows were cool, why would anyone actually want to look out at the world through them?
