Welcome to another Hooniverse Wagon Wednesday. This will be the last time I will draw from the well that is Kevco Classic Car Sales in Sioux Falls, but it is a great car to celebrate Wagon Wednesday with. This is a 1962 Chevrolet BelAir Wagon, and it is about as stripped as anything out there. Check it out and see if you think this is a truly desirable wagon. In 1962, Chevrolet had three different trim packages for the Wagon, the base Biscayne, the mid-level Bel-Air, and the top of the line Impala. This Bel-Air was suppose to be the mid-level spec, but in the 60’s everything was optional and it shows. According to the dealer:

1962 CHEVY BELAIR 4 DR. WAGON IN “SILVER BLUE” POLY / ORIG. BLUE FABRIC INT. ALL CHROME AND STAINLESS IS AS NEW. ALL GLASS IN ALSO EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT HAS ACTUAL 22,543 ORIGINAL MILES AND IS INDEED A TRUE “TIME CAPSULE” SURVIVOR. EQUIPPED WITH THE “TURBO FIRE” 283 C.I. V-8 / 195 H.P. / POWERGLIDE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. NEWER BLACKWALL RADIAL TIRES AND STOCK WHEELS AND HUBCAPS, NEWER EXHAUST. TRULY AN “AMAZING” QUALITY VEHICLE ALWAYS IN A CLIMATED CONTROL GARAGED WHEN NOT BEING “FAIR WEATHER” DRIVEN. THIS CAR RUNS AND DRIVES AS NICE AS IT IS. TOP TO BOTTOM EXCEPTIONAL, COLLECTOR QUALITY VEHICLE.

My question is this, why on earth would someone try and preserve what is really a basic Chevy Wagon with no options beside the V-8 and the Powerglide? This is reallya truly exceptional wagon, and the price reflects this at $21,800. See the dealer listing, along with the multitude of photos, and tell me if this should be the Hooniverse Staff Car.
