  • Corvette Wagon?

    There was a prototype in 1954 but this one is ok in my book



    Callaway’s 2014 Corvette Stingray Aerowagon concept gets tongues waggin’
    Chevrolet never built the 1954 Corvette Nomad wagon that Harley Earl built for General Motors' Motorama traveling road show, but ever since a few hearty after-market designers have attempted to graft a taller hatch onto the Vette's rear flanks to form a proper two-door shooting brake (British for "sports car station wagon") — often with questionable results. Now long-time Corvette customizers Callaway Cars has announced it may produce an add-on kit for the 2014 Corvette Stingray that would create what it calls the Aerowagon.

    Callaway says its modifications would use a custom carbon-fiber bodywork and glass to the Vette, with minimal impact on its performance or mileage. Total cost for making your Kentucky-built sports car into a Ferrari FF fighter: no more than $15,000, if there's enough interest. Which, should enough journalists win a few MegaMillions drawings over the next few months, there would be.

    "But dear,it IS a station wagon!" I like it,its so retro. Somebody back in the 70s were selling kits to turn you 1968+ Vett in to a wagon. Back in the day,I only saw one.

        I like that!

        I could combine two of my most expensive hobbies & haul my RC aircraft to the club's RC airport with my hot-rod. Only problem is that I'd have to get rich first so I could afford it. But then I wouldn't give a damn. I'd just by a regular 'Vette and something fun that could also haul my planes.
