Final year of the Collonade family. Was uncommon in 1973 with the one piece lift gate. Downsized 1978's wagons & El Camino's had the bumper tail lights too.
I always thought these things were FUGLY -especially the front-end! Those headlights! That grill! Trying to meld square hard-edged parts with a smoothly contoured body (from the A-pillar, back) The huge front-end takes up half the car. Bloated and boring. Detroit styling at it's worst.
Best of OPC.

I like the lines of this vehicle.
Reminds me of my youth ...A no thrills Chevy Station wagon.

Finding a Colonnade wagon in this shape is damn near impossible, amazing find.
