Yes, the white paint is almost entirely gone, but there are only a few rust holes on the lower body. But it's in surprisingly good condition for a vehicle that spent so much time fully exposed to the elements. It's unclear how much time it spent off the road, but the condition of the body tells us it's been parked here for at least 30 years. Yup we're looking at one of the rarest wagons ever made by Chevrolet.īack to the 1961 Parkwood you see here, the oldtimer was saved from a junkyard that kept it prisoner for decades. Its replacement, the Bel Air Wagon, remained in production until 1981. When Chevrolet discontinued the wagon-only nameplates in 1962, the Parkwood went into the history books and never returned. If you're not very familiar with this nameplate, it was only produced from 1959 to 1961 and slotted between the base Brookwood grocery getter and the range-topping Nomad. Yes, I know, there was no Bel Air wagon until 1962, but Chevrolet did offer a similar equipment level on the 1961 Parkwood. In this case, we're talking about a 1961 station wagon. Unless a crazy dude like the one from "Puddin's Fab Shop" steps in to save an example that no one really wants. Hard to find examples of the SS variety usually get saved at some point, but the more mundane cars, including the four-door sedans and wagons, are usually doomed to rust for eternity.
