Re: I just can't believe what they did to these poor cars (Vettelaw)
Though I think Vette wagons look like Vega wagons,
I LOVE the 53 Vette Nomad. How can you not like the original concept car of what would become the classic and beloved 55-57 Chevy Nomad. That ride is way cool! But I have a couple of tri-5's and a Vette, so I am partial to that blend.
Be cool!

The 72 is real ugly, the others C3 wagons are half way o.k. although I wouldn't want one. First time ive seen a C2 wagon. Thats a shame what some people will do to a great car.

The C1 looks like a real wagon. The C3s are stupid with the gas tank in the same place. What is in the back of the C3s a little shelf?

The wagon part was similar to the compartment on any compact wagon; not huge but useful...

i like the 53 only cuz of the nomad appeal.. if i was to own a wagon, it would be either a tri 5 or a 53 vette with the nomad back. but the mid year and those C3s look pittyful. the C4 looks even worse

I remember reading this guy's story a while back. "Sheldon's big adventure". I recommend it, very compelling and entertaining story. It is very touching to read how special he thinks a vette wagon is! :rolleyes:

The ones at the bottom the 54 nomad/corvette actually has class to it. Pry cause it was a factory car/concept. Others I don't care for.

Good god.. someone put those cars out of their misery! I used to think that sex, drugs and rock and role were the downfalls of society... now I can "corvette-wagon owners" to the list :eek: Actually, sex, drugs and rock and role are great... you do the math.

Saw this little beauty in Fla. last month. Think it's a Greenwood Conversion. If any one has ever done glass work on a vette you know how much work goes into these projects. Kinda feel sorry for these err...Vettes. Here's a pic........

I dunno. Some of them are pretty cool. If someone wanted to get into the Kustom thing this would be a pretty good way to go compared to some of the other stuff I've seen.
I've always kind of liked the '53 Nomad and the "Corvair" styling exercise(s), too.
