Thank you. I lost my mother as well just two weeks ago.

In reply to bravenrace:

Man, I'm sorry to hear that. My condolences.

Ok, technically it's not impossible to get a classic Crown wagon in Knoxville Tennessee, but it's very hard due to their scarcity in places they were actually sold...

Fast wagon time?

I'm curious, does this color have historical significance for Jaguar? It seems like an interesting choice for a big fast luxury car. Actually... it makes me think of the Polestar Volvos. I've just always wondered if the obnoxious blue color on the Jags is just an attempt to differentiate from the Germans or if it's a heritage color or something like that.

And yes... I want one.

More of this wagon featured on Speedhunters. It's my lock screen on my computer right now and man do I want one.

Aren't they owned by the same group that owns Volvo now?

Back in the early 1970s, my high school girlfriend had a '66 Bonneville wagon. It wasn't the Hurst wagon, of course, but it was fully loaded - power everything and a 421ci engine. That thing was a beast.

My first engine swap, age 23.

My third Pinto by then, too.

I love this thread! I'm currently debating between these three wagons:

And sad to realize that the only one that is still being sold today is the Volvo

The only NOT being sold is the Magnum.

Pony up with $60k and your local Benz dealer will happily give you one.

Specially made for George Hurst, those are Hurst wheels on there. I don't know how many were made.

Did you know Hurst also invented the Jaws of Life?

No RX-3? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

And my personal favorite:

Lada 2102

I like these way more than I should.

I had one of those, orange with black interior & 4 spd. Bought it new. It'd rev forever. Mazda had a 50,000 mile warranty on the engine & the apex seals failed at 52,000. Mazda refused to help me at all. A few years later there was as class action suit vs. Mazda & I got around $700 from it.

This probably belongs here, although I don't like the looks of it....
