Is the wagon going to be a sleeper, a monster or a daily driver. I used to love watching an old Nomad wagon blow the doors off of the muscle cars when I was young!!!

Hey Post....NICE WAGON!!!! Never seen one of those before...

[hpp]

Here is the car that got me into Pontiac's,it was my dads car.
These are some vintage pitchure's from the seventies and eighties.
It was a 1966 Lemans with a OHC 6.The car was stolen once and recovered with out the engine,rims and tires. He primered the car and drove it for years,then it was taken apart and sat for a good while then it was junked. I hope to buy a 66' just like his one day.

Cool pix, love seeing them "back in the day"... you shouldn't have a problem finding a 66 LeMans, but that might be hard finding one w/ an OHC 6...good luck!

Never noticed before from the smaller picture that your bumpers were a charcoal gray. Are they painted steel, or fiberglass? Just curious.

Well, everyone has budget constrains nowadays, and the chrome was PEELING off of the front bumper in chunks. I used an entire can of primer on each bumper and then a can of Textured Metallic paint from Rustoleum. Used on truck bedliners.

It is on all of the highlights. Rims too. When it chips, I spray on a new coat. Headlight bezels too.

A lot of people do not like it cause they are SUPPOSED to be chrome. But, 80% like it cause it is different. If it was a snobby GTO, I most likely would not have done it.

Looks good. Didn't notice it before in the smaller pictures. I painted the front bumper on my '74 Cutlass for the same reason (body color)-and that one (being a 125 lb bumper)-(no joking) would cost a fortune to ship away to get rechromed. I may paint my Cutlass bumper with this color as well. Has a European look to it. What is the actual color called?
