Anybody remember this wood treatment?

[1978 NYB]

I've seen those wagons before....just didn't notice the wood grain pattern with the brown background.

Then there is this custom version I saw in Phoenix a couple of years ago. I liked this one

I really like that one Peter

That wagon does look nice!

The yellow car looks right...at least, as right as it can get with that pattern on it. Nice car.

This is the best looking wagon that ever wagoned! :wavesmile::wavesmile::wavesmile::wavesmile::wavesmile:

That was probably the ugliest wood treatment that any Chrysler product ever had. I've seen a few for sale lately. www.stationwagonforums.com is where you want to go, There are a few wagons listed over there that have the same wood treatment on them. All of those are pretty rough, though.

Says you!

I think this treatment is the best compromise if you're restoring one of these. It's the best way to achieve a close to factory look since nobody is making replacement woodgrain and it breaks up the car visually...win, win in my book.

The interesting thing about this Monaco is the dual tank modification they apparently did...well executed. The second fuel fill door looks like it grew there.

Is that James Bond with Pussy Galore and her sister Boobies?

 

[commando1]

In a Rambler? I highly doubt it.

 

[Love Shack]

He drove a Matador, or some such AMC in one of the movies from the '70's.... maybe the one where he's in New Orleans...

 

[commando1]

Really... Gonna have to check IMDB, then.

In "The Man with the Golden Gun", he drove (stole) an AMC Hornet.

 

[cm23uoc]

Sponsored by AMC as it seems.

YEAH........ I guess it was the movie where he was in Hazzard County, by way of Fantasy Island, " de-plane, de-plane!" Glad I've got more Pabst Blue Ribbon in the fridge. I think I may have seen officers Reed and Malloy in one of the squads as well.

OH! and a BIG THANK-YOU TO BIG JOHN FOR HELPING TO SHOW EVERYONE I'M NOT QUITE AS CRAZY (or bombed) AS SOME MAY HAVE THOUGHT !
