(Notice that the illustrator put the steering wheel on the wrong side.)Viewer Ken pointed out to me that this model is Australian,so the steering wheel is in its correct placement.
1968 C3 Corvette Station Wagon
WTF??

Actually, the Plainsman was an Australian model, so the illustration was correct!
WTF?? The Corvette Station wagon. Look, you want to go camping, but you want to take the 'Vette, and you need the extra room for the tent, cook stove, camp chairs, porta-potty, etc. It's so obvious!
Well, I'll be damned! I'll change what I wrote. Thank you!
It's a real bastardization.
Hey Rick have you seen the four door version of the Vette, it's been around since the late 70's?
Luv - I had to look that up and OMG, they exist! Only a few though.
In the earlier 1970s, the Corvette station wagon and a similar Pontiac Firebird TransAm station wagon (probably more like "extended roof"?) existed as customized regular models. By observation, it was more of a styling exercise as they had little MORE real room for cargo. They did look neat, not unlike the Vega wagons (with their special rear spoilers on them).
The four-door 'Vettes preceded the "sports sedans" of later years, especially the normalization of four-door Porsches! Corvettes NEED to have ONLY 2 doors, no matter what!
Thanks for the memories!
Anon@4:26pm - Your comment reminded me that *I* had a Chevy Vega, 2-door, hatchback. It was a fun little car. Terrible, but fun.
The Vette? No. Just....no.
Once knew an old guy who had a custom coach built 1938 Cadillac two door using the same body as the sedan blood red in color with grey leather and wool broadcloth interior, huge car. He said when his father bought the car new in Los Angeles, people mistook him for the city's the fire chief.
Anon@5:36pm - That's a funny story.
