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.

Mine was a little too boat-like and the torsion bars were at the limit of adjustment so riding a bit low in front. I lucked into a 1965 C convertible at PickNPull maybe 12 years ago and grabbed it's thicker T-bars. I think it had front drums since I remember taking the hubs in case my bearings spin in the hub as happened on both sides of my 1969 Dart years ago (9" drums w/ too-tiny wheel bearings, SET1 outer I recall). Don't recall if I drove it much after that since I've had it on NoOp for maybe a decade. In CA, you can pay just $25 once to sideline a car, then start paying the current year's tag when you decide to start driving it again. GA was much meaner, requiring you to register a car every year, even if in another state (not licensed there), or pay all the intervening year's registration. Once my fleet thins, I may return to driving it. It was my commuter then when gas was cheaper.
