1966 F-85 station wagons, not Vista Cruisers

66f85deluxewagon · October 5th, 2008, 10:53 AM

Anybody else have a 1966 F-85 station wagon? I'd love to see and hear about yours. Please post a picture or two. Please post any pictures of 66 F-85 wagons from magazines or whatever. Does a 66 factory dealer brochure have some nice pictures of a F-85 wagon?

I bought my wagon last December. She's all stock except for the rally wheels and Flowmaster muffler I installed. My F-85 wagon is the Deluxe model with some nice options: 330, AT, AC, PS, PB, power rear window, remote mirror and tilt wheel. Also has a vanity mirror on the passenger side sun visor. The original protecto plate was still in the glove box.

I'd also like seeing 67 F-85 wagons. They are very similar.

Sharp car! Thanks for posting the photos. I don't have a wagon. But I do keep my eyes open for 60's wagon. I think I prefer the standard wagons myself.

nice clean lines ...

A 2 door would be nice but I think {delete} was the only one ...

Look what google popped up for two door olds ...

Neat 1948 Oldsmobile woody station wagon.

I sure would like to see some 1966 F-85 wagons! I haven't found any with Google. I've only seen one other 66 F-85 wagon since I bought mine. It was for sale on ebay, selling for around $1500. That one was very similar to mine but may have had some rust issues. The rear bumper was covered with rust. Fortunately mine doesn't have much rust but needs a little body work and paint. Wish I could find some nice straight bumpers. Both of mine are bent pretty bad.

GM should have made more 2-door A-body wagons! Not just the 64-65 Chevelle's.

Station wagons are cool. Personally I like the Custom Cruisers; however, the smaller ones are cool as well!

Very nice car!

Nice, big wagon fan myself.

You CAN get hose ol' bent, rusted bumpers straightened out and rechoromed, you know. Realy a nice lookin' car, and I, of course, have a certain fondness for the Flat Top Wagons, for some reason.........

Thanks for the compliment. I hope to get the bumpers straightened soon. I just haven't had the money.
