Where are the regular members ?

Nice work Cat , but lets not rush as I don't have a rug or a dog and for new members I have not met on SWF . l have been and still are a Tad occupied/distracted and Sunday Aussie time is one great Race the Bathurst 1000 (our biggest) maybe some of you guys may like to have a look www.v8supercars.com.au

 

Thanks Dennis from Dennis. I don't have a dog either. The rug is partially under the sofa and easy chair so no one can pull it from under me.
Enjoy the races and stay regular. I am just hoping those regular members who haven't been around are okay.

 

Why were some of the words in RED until I typed this?

 

I feel compelled to chime in here on this thread. I've been a member for a few years and my "admission ticket" was my 1975 Caprice Estate clamshell wagon. Since selling it last year, I've simply been lurking about here; doing so helps some with the withdrawal symptoms, lol. I owned that wagon for six years. I enjoy reading what other folks here are buying/doing with regards to station wagons.
Shortly after selling my wagon, I happened upon a '70 Caprice Custom Coupe that I just could not pass up. It was a barn find in every sense of the phrase. I brought it back to life and thoroughly enjoyed it, but it didn't quite satisfy the wagon craving that still haunts me. I sold the coupe about a week ago and am casually looking for another wagon.

 

Good luck on your hunt -are you looking for another clamshell wagon?

 

Hi Glide, I'd like to see the '70 Caprice Custom Coupe, they were sharp looking back in the day, can you post any pics of it?

 

Let's keep haunting Glide-Aways until he gets another station wagon. Glad you took a break from lurking.

 

I was gone for a while

I lost my password & the one I thought it was wouldn't work. Meanwhile, we bought a 34 foot 1998 motorhome (would that be considered a 'loooonnngroof?) and that's kept me busy.

I wanted a trailer to pull behind the '58 delivery (Airstream!) but I found out it wouldn't pull that kind of weight. Then, the significant other said "Slides or no deal!". There went the Airstream idea. Then it had to be at least a 30 footer... Pulling that big a trailer would mean buying a truck too, so we decided to look at motorhomes so I only had buy one thing instead of 2.

Anyway this has nothing to do with wagons so I'll go back to lurking...

PS: Heard about Fox way too late...lost my Mom to cancer too...

 

jrwscout: Thanks, searching casually now, but will get more serious about it soon. I'd love another Clamshell, yes, but this time around I am also open to a 1970 model or MAYBE a 1983/1985 model. Regardless of the generation, I am partial to the Caprice (Kingswood) model over Impala wagons; only because it's the Caprice that reminds me of my childhood.

MotoMike: Yes, the Caprice sedans and coupes were indeed very sharp. If I'm doing this correctly, there is a pic attached here. Mine was lightly optioned (manual windows, no c/c or tilt) with what I call the "handsome" hub caps (color coordinated), extra body molding and AC.

CatModelT: Thanks for the encouragement!

 

Dave how about a trailer behind your Motorhome so you may take 58 Cruizin wherever that may be :2_thumbs_up_-_anima

 

Good luck with your hunt Glide-Away for a new to you ride

 

Thanks Dennis!

 

Hi Glideaway, good to hear from you.

 

Thanks fannie! It's good to be back, even if I don't (yet) have another wagon LOL.
