Original Paintina: 1970 Chevrolet Impala Kingswood Wagon

This next car is offered as an original paintwork classic, which would make it something that you'd want to do an interior refresh on, and stop the rust...but don't repaint!

Sedan Down Under: 1968 Holden Kingswood


Unlike the muscle cars of the US, the official body styles of hooliganism in Australia were also the shapes of function and utility.
