Best of OPC. But two solid gold Civics in the span of minutes was enough to rekindle my love. The lighting on the wagon is kind of harsh, but it worked out okay.

Golden Eggs: 1976 Honda Civic Hatchback.
August 16, 2013

This Civic hatchback appeared outside the office one evening as I walked to my car, and I photographed the heck out of it. Three city blocks later, I passed by the Civic wagon posted below. That car is a familiar neighborhood car that I've passed up photographing countless times, or else have stopped and photographed but been dissatisfied with the images and just never got around to posting. And the gascap spillover stain and the modern hubcaps kind of killed the appeal for me.

As we were driving back today from our weekend Seattle visit with Mom & Markus, the rain started pouring so hard that I didn't feel safe on the freeway. I pulled off and took the opportunity for a scenic detour through historic downtown Chehalis. My wife thought I blew it with Saturday's Best Worst Fairmont Durango, so this seemed like the perfect chance to illustrate to her how that car started life. But the downpour was so torrential that I could barely manage these shots, even from the shelter of our trusty station wagon. One angle is all you get.
(This was not the first time I've gotten very wet documenting a Zephyr or Fairmont, btw.)

Yes, 4WD.
Did you know the Stanza wagovan has no pillar between the front and rear doors? That means the entire wall opens up, just like Honda would do with the Element 20 years later. If you can watch the Motorweek video review embedded below without wanting one, you're made of sterner stuff than I.
