Wagons were something you used, got rid of it and moved on to the next car. They virtually disappeared so now when we do see one, we look at it with interest.

Every car show has rows of Mustangs, Corvette's, Camaro's, Trans Ams, GTO's etc. Who (apart from the owners), is much interested in them? They are like buttholes - everyone seems to have one.

Own a car with huge power, garish paint, crazy wheels and how long does the owner actually keep it? Or how often do they drive it? Boils on hot day, Can't drive it if there is any chance of rain, Dusty roads? NEVER. There's no long term pleasure in owning a car like that so it gets flicked and the next owner goes through the same. Flick it again.

It's the different cars which will win in the end. You can always find an interested person or a buyer for a different car and a good original different car more so.

JMHO

So given a choice of a 4 dr car with a 6 popper or a 2 dr with a V8 you would take the 4 dr 6 popper? Ever try to sell a good running 6 cylinder engine? I have, got a whole $150. for it! lol
