Hadn't seen one of these for awhile--until Don sent me a pic of a stretch version of one of these cars. While the sedans were very roomy, the wagons were cavernous. Wish I had one while we were delivering newspapers! Just think of all the Sunday editions we could've carried. I really love those bulletproof tanks!
Astonishing to think that this thing, designed in 1956, was produced nearly unchanged until the 1980s. Iconic. And, IMHO, ugly. But nonetheless iconic and desirable.
Great glass, nice pillars, and for some reason I find that color pretty funny on such a volume of metal. I guess it's an appropriate color for a cream puff though.
Best of OPC.

There is no such thing as wagon overload.

Looks like an old government car, being white with color matching dog dishes and all. Awesome find as usual.
Homeless guys would turn that into a "soup kitchen" in no time.
So many wagons.
Checker cars also known as "The Iron Bastard".
