Not a A...but a C-bodie , always beem a A-bodie guy; worth it ?

The large trunk is over-rated, indeed it may not hold more luggage than my A's since not very deep and the spare tire takes up much of the space. For space, a C-body wagon is much better, plus wagons have become very popular. At least the wheels are BBP. Wish I had bought Scarebird's C-body disk brackets since closing shop and none in stock. The OE disk brakes are rare and expensive. At least the front drums are massive (recall 11"x3") and I have new drums in the box.

You can put a lot more in a C body trunk than an A body, but they are shallow, and the tire does take some of the space though.

Wagons are hot, I had to get out of my comfort zone ('66 Polara/Monaco) and get a '71 Monaco wagon, prices and poor condition with '66 wagons made it necessary if I ever wanted a decent driver. Paid $3500, and have another $4000 in it already, and there's still more to be done. It's the fifth C body in my "keeper" fleet. Well, they're all keepers to me.

But these big cars are so nice to drive, they just float down the road.
