You could buy a Vega sedan delivery in the early 1970s. Chevy also now sells a sedan delivery version of the HHR.

As an interesting aside (and getting even further off topic), the 77-90 Custom Cruiser is almost the same size as a 68-72 Vista. The VC used a 121" wheelbase, the Custom Cruiser uses a 116" wheelbase (same as the 68-72 flattop wagons). The longer Vista wheelbase was to allow the forward facing third seat. The Custom Cruiser is about 2 inches wider and taller than the older car and a few inches longer, mainly due to the 5 miles per hour bumpers. The extra width is nice, because I can put a sheet of plywood flat in the 86 CC - I couldn't do that in my 68 VC.
