1974 Chevrolet full-size station wagon. Not sure the model. Maybe a Bel Air, or it could be a Caprice.

If it is a '74, it's a Caprice.

1974 Chevy Caprice Wagon 100% sure.
(vertical patern of grill & turn lamps are specific to Caprice)

The only thing that threw me off was the cowl insiginia, but I was at least 95% sure.

No, it is 1975 Chevrolet Impala. This one has Chevrolet badge on the front and Impala script on the front fender.

Though it lost the mid-line trim, but it has trim on the rocker panel make it Impala series.

The 1974 Chevrolet Caprice Estate only available as faux woodgrain until 1977 that became an optional package.

:think:
well the script in the middle of the front fender confused me.

but in 74 & 75, Impala has bow tie logo in the center of the grill
caprice has cowl badge on center (top) of front grill. and a specific vertical grill patern.

i'm open minded

any other opignon ????

The 1974/1975 Chevrolet Caprice has it own badge. In this case this example has chevrolet bow-tie on top of the grille.

The 1975 Chevrolet Bel Air/Impala uses the bow-tie on the top of the grille meanwhile the 1974 version is at the center of the grille with different headlight/parking lamp design.

If this was 1974 Chevrolet Caprice Estate, then the script would be at the rear fender.

Does this help?

Okay, now I believe it's a 1975 Chevy, and I even suspected it was a Bel Air, because that's what the cowl insignia looked like it said in the main image. The trouble is, when I look at the first thumbnail no_car posted, I don't see any cowl insignia.

It is 1975 Chevrolet Impala because it has rocker panel trim despite missing mid-line trim. Bel Air doesn't have the rocker panel trim.

Oh, yeah. I see that:

This car is slightly customized though, but let's call it an Impala anyhow.

ok let's start from the beginning :think:

after reading few comments and double check the picture.
i conclude that : it's a bow tie on the top of the grill so: it's not a Caprice.
could be an Impala or Bel Air. (biscayne was discontinued for the us market)

...there is no center trim in the middle of door from one bumper to the other so: can't be Impala.
and has slim rocker trim = Bel Air.


***** how about call it 75 Bel Air Wagon ???? *****

... well it's hard for my self-estime to have so many trouble to indentify a chevrolet of the mid 70's... will have to changed my nicknames ??? :mad:

... :cry: may be i'm getting too old ???.....should i call my doctor ??? :/

Ignore all the comments above, there was no Bel-Air wagon in 1975, so it's obvoiously an Impala.

Loved my 75 Impala, especially that 'hearse ridge' roof and super steep front windshield. After 30 years, they all leaked inside the driver window chrome trim. Nice leaf spring bounce catching air on freeway hills. Glide ride.
