Thanks for watching.

I love classic station wagons like this. SO utilitarian. They look cool, too.

[@thehopelesscarguy]

I am a wagon person myself.

[@thehopelesscarguy]

More utilitarian than many modern SUV's.

[@fourdoorglory5945]

Good luck with the car. Not my cup of tea, but glad you and the wife have a passion for it. Nice to see.

[@thehopelesscarguy]

Thanks. Of all our cars it easily has the nicest ride.

I remember my neighbour owned a black Malibu Classic Coupe (probably with pin striping, but I'm not positive), it was one of the best looking cars of the time.

[@thehopelesscarguy]

As the popular car to crash on late 70s and early 80s TV, I'm surprised there are any of them left.

[@mr.huntley420]

Very nice malibu

[@thehopelesscarguy]

The wife thanks you.

love the wagon

[@thehopelesscarguy]

Thanks, we like it.

I like your wagon.Have any content on the 1973 Chevy Laguna wagon, thanks

[@thehopelesscarguy]

Thanks. I don't currently have anything specific to the Laguna at this point.

I've never heard of a bumper tuck, can you explain? BTW I really enjoy your videos, you have a unique style and very informative.

[@thehopelesscarguy]

Thanks, I'll take unique. On the cars of this period the bumpers stick several inches out from the body with a plastic piece filling the gap. Although there are other terms for it, a bumper tuck is to pull the bumpers in closer to the body with different brackets.

Love station wagons...would really like one for my next car. As for the stereo, any luck finding something on eBay? There have to be a ton of vintage head units there

[@thehopelesscarguy]

We are up to 4 station wagons at this point. Lots of reproduction radios for a chunk of change. As it it belongs to the wife perhaps the original AM should just go back in it.

@@thehopelesscarguy There has to be an old Kraco bouncing around somewhere 😂

[@thehopelesscarguy]

@@chrisfreemesser5707 Actually I found one of those, but the tape player didn't work.
