    Hello,

    My name is Donny Pruntel, I'm from The Netherlands.(Doesburg)
    I drive a '76 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham and a '71 Chevrolet caprice Kingswood Estate!
    I'm 31 years old and i'm a mechanic.

    These are some pics of the wagon:

    It's a '71 chevy wagon, with power windows, airco, and a fully powered clamshell (i just restored it last week) The clamshell works fine now but needs just a litlle bit of "fine-tuning"
    I've got the working clamshell on you tube:

    :Welcome: Donny! It seems to me we have an exceptional high amount of clamshell owners from The Netherlands! Seems to work great, I always had to help mine a bit....

    Welcome Donny! Great looking wagon. That second photo doesn't show one European vehicle. Does anybody drive a European model in the Netherlands?:Welcome:

    Thanks for the warm welcom!

    @ Sarge, yes indeed, it's a nightmare, the are 2 inspection hol's on the underside of the car(they are 10' x 8') so thats to small for my big hands:D

    @ Stormin norman, that picture was taken on a meeting for old (usa)cars. But there a lot of Usa cars in my neighbourhood anyway! I quess we like them better than the tiny european cars :D

    @ Senri, the clamshell is fully restored(and i did put a lot of grease in it)

    @ 75RivGS, it sure did, lots of work but a very nice result!

    Donny

    Glad to see they're being saved...too many people around the US want to bash them instead.
