I was a kid back then and I remember seeing cars like that and wishing I could've sat in them.

I can imagine that spoiler must have been hard to get... either someone was lucky enough to pull one from a scrapped Pinto Cruising Wagon back in the day, or it was done more recently, perhaps someone was parting out a Cruising Wagon on eBay. <br /><br />Not sure I like the spoiler with the woodgrain. The woodgrain says "mainstream traditional" while the spoiler is more like "young and sporty." I'm not too crazy about the wheels either. With a woody wagon, I'd prefer to see the more sedate stock metal hubcaps with whitewall tires, or maybe the 13" chrome slotted wheels that were factory options. Somehow, I think a woody wagon like this could almost get away with 13" or 14" Cragar SS wheels. But not those wheels on it now, or the spoiler.<br /><br />I'd drive this car though! Back in the 80s or 90s you'd be laughed at for being seen in one. But now they're retro cool. I've always liked them, even back in the 70s when I was just a little kid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5112355325821745788.post-32528415871280727282012-05-19T19:42:54.813-07:002012-05-19T19:42:54.813-07:00The wheel covers were a common Fairmont/Zephyr pie...The wheel covers were a common Fairmont/Zephyr piece throughout that car's run.
