Like I said, ASWOA.com is LONG gone. Im 99.99% sure anyone on facebook I dont know and is likely not connected to the former as most of us originals are old, retired or dead. All of my build pages lost in the sea of ether bits.
But since you insist on the comparo being invalid...lets take 1 square sub and 1 chevy kingswood (aka clamshell).
Full body on chassis c frame, boxed in at the front: check
4 passenger doors and 1 big door in back with glass: check
Big azz steel bumpers: check
at least 2 rows of seats, with option for a 3rd row: check
Hydraulic disk brakes front, drum rear: check
MarkiV big block 454 engine: check
THM-400 tranny: check
PS, PB, Air, and perhaps windows and locks as well: check
clock in around 2.5 tons empty: check
coil springs up front: check
elliptical leafs in the rear: check
popular with growing familes with perhaps a trailer to tow: check
get crap for mileage: check
registration class says 'station wagon' on it: check
The only diff I see is that the clamshell has a 12bolt semi-floating rear and the sub has a 14 bolt full floater
Yeah, that makes em completely different.
it would seem these have far more in common both form and function (wait didnt I say that?) than your VW wagon. It might be more correct to list the VW 'wagon' as just some weird VW beetle or 'thing' followon. Everyone knows the 411 and 412 were the REAL VW wagons ANYWAYS. (had some of them too)
ps: I neglected to mention the Buick Estate clamshell, which while being far more popular and desired, has a 455 inch engine therefore they would be super uber different
It's not a car based on another car and that's a deal-killer. Station wagons are cars - I didn't realize this was controversial. I hope the meatloaf and instant mash are good today at Shady Acres retirement home.Like I said, ASWOA.com is LONG gone.
