    It's an '88-'91. Sad to see that in this era of tire technology, road salt and studded tires are still getting used in Winter.

    '54-'56. Can't tell exactly due to my lack of deeper knowledge on them.

    It's definitely a '54 or earlier. I'm guessing '53

    I'm now on my laptop computer. It's a bit clearer, so yeah, I agree, could be a '53.

    I think it is a 53 based on what I see as a full width grill and rectangular parking lights under the grill bar. Could easliy be wrong as using a tablet. 52 grill did not go all the way across and believe parking lights on 54 were round and at the ends of the grill bar.

    Definitely a '53. Grill design matches, and the '52 and '54 grills were different.

    I was driving from one orchard to the next last week and I saw this chivy wagon. I had to pull in to check it out.
    Much like Danny Koker, I learned a long time ago that the best way to approach these situations is to find out if anybody is home and introduce myself.
    I rang the doorbell and waited a few minutes. I was just about to leave when a gentleman answered the door. I think I woke him up. He wasn't that interested in what I was doing, said the car belonged to his brother and I was more than welcome to check it out.

    So. That's all I know. It's a chivy with SS badges and what I assume is some sort of auction tag on the windshield.

    Front turn signals are 1972. That's about the only way I can tell a 71 and 72 apart; 71 has a divider between the top part of the lens and the bottom, 72 doesn't. There may be other ways to tell. I like the cowl induction hood on it.

    On our trip to the west side a few weeks ago we saw a couple of wagons out cruising on Saturday. We thought perhaps there was a car show somewhere, but we never came across one.

    Saw this nice 80's Malibu in traffic on our way to Edmonds.

    As we were driving along we passed this old service station that had this on the roof.
