Wagons in vintage Street scenes

Boston

 

That missing hubcap has ruined the above image. So, here's a second one for good measure

 

What is that tan wagon?

 

It appears to be a late '70s Toy Corolla wagon.

 

If you're talking about the small beige 4-door wagon with the brown tape stripes in the pic immediately above your post - Nope.

It's a mid to late 70's Mazda GLC wagon - the original RWD version. Bigger pic:

When the first GLC came out here, only hatchbacks were available. They introduced the wagon version in '77, I think. Then, when the second-gen FWD GLC came out for 1981, it also was only in hatchback form at first, so Mazda continued to sell the RWD wagon along side it for a year or two.

 

Well, in my defense, I did say it 'apoeared' to be a Corolla. But upon closer examination, it appears you are right.

 

That's OK...
I did something really stupid a couple of days ago on an auto-related Facebook group page. Somebody posted a pic of an engine compartment, and asked who could identify the vehicle. I saw what appeared to ME to be a 2nd-gen Corvair engine compartment, with a Subaru flat-four installed in place of the Corvair flat 6. (I thought I had heard of this being done once or twice...). The pic even showed the air intake vents right below the Corvairs rear window.

- The current count is about 25 people posting comments asking why the car in the pic has WINDSHIELD WIPERS on the rear window then?. Those 2 items never even registered on my brain. Turns out it was just a mid 80's or so Subaru engine compartment.

 

Dropping a Subaru 6-banger into a Corvair is still not a bad idea, except for Ralph Nader's purposes: https://www.enginebuildermag.com/2020/06/eotw-twin-turbo-flat-six-eg33-subaru-engine/
