Corvette Sportwagon

[6 Shooter]

​

IF YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH to recall the heyday of the C3, it's likely you also remember the Corvette Sportwagon. Originally designed by Chuck Miller (and later adapted to the rubber-bumper '74-'82 Corvettes by John Greenwood), the Sportwagon and Sportwagon body kits were marketed through such companies as American Custom Industries (ACI) and Eckler's, and they allowed owners of C3s to convert their coupe or convertible Vettes into cargo-compatible wagons.

Yeah Shooter, I remember seeing this first on this forum some time ago. Interesting concept. Know what you mean though LordVader. Hauling cargo is just one of the reasons I also have a truck.

My next door neighbor had a '73 Sportwagon (it was in bad shape) parked in the drive behind his house w/ the idea that he was going to restore it. After a few years he decided to sell it to his brother. Haven't heard how that went.

Chuck Miller, famous custom car builder? (being pointed at and holding a model we probably all built as a kid, standing in front of the real version he designed and build back in the 60's and currently on the custom car revival tour)
