Time To Roll: 1962 Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier Sportswagon Van

Anyone who has spent anytime riding in the back of a Volkswagen Bus on a hot summer day can tell you that putting a bunch of fixed windows on the back/sides/top of a metal box turns that greenhouse into a oven.  The better solution is to skip the bakin Bus and pickup a Corvan equipped with several rows of rollable windows --like this 1962 Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier Van offered for $6,500 in San Diego, CA via craigslist.  Tip from FuelTruck.

Passed-on Passions: A Mustang, Sprite, MGA, & Greenbrier

This next feature comes from Marve Harwell who put together another Deusy of a comparo. The project car, the epitome of wide-eyed optimism. What fond memories linger of unloading the newly acquired free time eater onto a lovingly cleared patch of garage floor that may never be seen again.  The plan begins with an unrealistic budget, optimistic time table, and a laughable overestimation of our skills, but ends years later as rolling shelf for old tax paperwork and lawn implements.  It takes a big man to take on such a project and a bigger man cave into the wife and finally sell the thing unfinished.  But who is that next wild-eyed dreamer? Who has the guts to take on another man's monument to unfulfilled good intentions?  I have for your consideration unfinished project cars, one tantalizing close the the finish line, others in boxes and bits, and another one not really begun. Which would you take on?

10k: 1952 Nash Rambler Greenbrier Wagon; A Bathtub Woody

The Nash Rambler is no stranger to the pages of the Daily Turismo; it exudes vintage style and can be purchased without taking out a second mortgage.  The bathtub nickname was given because all four wheels had full covers and the body resembled an upside-down tub.  This 1952 Nash Rambler Greenbrier Wagon is bidding on ebay for $8,400 with 10 hours to go and located in a garage with some interesting wall 'art' in Roseburg, OR.
