Cavalier wagon, or another J-body |

It's a J-body, alright. I keep thinking it might be a Pontiac for some reason. |

Sunbirds had peculiar nose treatment, but is it one like that? http://www.zenzibar.com/artcars/before.jpg |

Sunbirds were more like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:%2785-%2788_Pontiac_Sunbird.jpg |

Yes, but from some angles this looks like it has that nose treatment. |

Sunbird's fenders' front ends slope backward - this one looks like they end straight with a tendency to slope the other way, so I believe it is a standfard J-body nose: http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/chevrolet-cavalier-14.jpg Would the wheels be any clue? |

From the side doesn't identify which J-body it is. Have to see front or back. |

Not really - we already know it's not a Sunbird/J2000, so it could be a Cavalier, Firenza or Skyhawk. Skyhawk wagon apparently also had this "peculiar nose treatment": ![[Image: buick-22.jpg]](http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/buick-22.jpg "http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/buick-22.jpg") Oldsmobiles of that era, including Firenza, had wraparound turn signals: ![[Image: firenza-187_525.jpg]](http://image.boompa.com/images/users/j/ja/jaysonaych/rides/firenza-187_525.jpg "http://image.boompa.com/images/users/j/ja/jaysonaych/rides/firenza-187_525.jpg") So, that leaves us with the Cavalier |

Aah, exactly such a Cavalier like in Bravada's last pic I drove at my "autodriveaway"-tour across the USA in 1993. I had it on the last way from Saint Paul to Philadelphia. It was a lame, crippled vehicle. After 300 km full speed (not even 150 km/h it reached, what a loke) across Wisconsin all lamps in the dashboard "check engine" etc. were flashing. When I reached Philadelphia the whole oil was gone. Notally nervous with a flashing oil-lamp I cruised around in the town on the search for a gas station. I was not nervous about the car, the reason was, that I took the wrong exit and was landed in the roughest slum-area. Fortunately I found a car-parts-shop (totally armoured with big iron-bars in front of doors and windows), where I got the oil (I took extra thick one) and the happiness was bigger, when I reached a more civilizated part of the town. The next day I was leaving home, so I didn't get any notice by autodriveaway, if the Cavalier has survived. -- Last edit: 2007-12-27 12:50:26 |
