Who wants this in their garage???

What a shame...

So was this like some kind of kit or something?

Re: Who wants this in their garage???

The back resembles that of a Chevy citation or cavalier wagon from the 80’s. Butt ugly but honestly has a little cool factor. Would much rather have the Kammback though.

One bonus would be I bet they have zero problems with the hatch pull down mechanism

Re: Who wants this in their garage???

On a positive note, if you had it you would definitely be the only one at the car show with one...

Re: Who wants this in their garage???

If they straightened the window line over that rear fender arch I'll bet it could look cool. With a much lower stance of course.

Re: Who wants this in their garage???

I think it is cool and different. I like that it looks like factory parts. I would say that it looks like a Chevy Celebrity/ Pontiac 6000 wagon roof, different from a 3rd gen Kammback that has a wagon shaped hatch.

Celebrity that’s what I was thinking! Not Citation lol. Although I do recall seeing a few Citations back in the day that had this same exact stance

Re: Who wants this in their garage???

Ya know, maybe it could look cool lowered, and with IROC bumpers and ground effects....

Like a predecessor to a CTS-V wagon..

GM did it to 1st - 4th gen F bodys, I haven't seen a 5th or 6th gen. The second gens look very Vega like as mentioned. There were also C3 vette wagons, but those were aftermarket conversions. I never did understand why GM did not have more front engine rear drive sedans and or wagons. Dodge did great with that layout.

I know we're not supposed to like this, but I strangely do... I'm sure it doesn't hold up in person, but the concept has potential.

Re: Who wants this in their garage???

I like the idea but I think I’d just find a g-body Malibu wagon instead

Re: Who wants this in their garage???

There was a fairly common(I say fairly common, because I remember seeing a few back in the day) aftermarket rear hatch that kinda jutted out. Been years, so my memory is a bit off on it, anyone remember them?
