1970 Plymouth Fury Sport Suburban station wagon

They didn't make them much bigger than this! Woodgrain applique to mimic wood. Note the rear opening door. The third row of seating faces the rear, a fairly common technique at the time, mandatating entrance from the rear of the vehicle. This is a reissue of an old video, who knows about whether it is still for sale.

@Doobie1975 Hey, Darian...true enough. Some mammoth engines there...I think Buick had the biggest at 455 c.i., and it weighed less than the others. Thanks! :) Jack

@raconter1 plus the Buick's, Olds and Pontiacs also had bigger, powerful engines than the Chevy's ever did, I also liked the two tone paint schemes

@Doobie1975 Hey, Darian! Very true.....I would have never guessed at the time that those Chevy's would ever be so popular. I liked the Buicks, Olds and Pontiacs more...for one reason, they had neat two tone paint schemes, and their interiors were definitely upgraded. There's no predicting things like this! Thanks! :) Jack

@raconter1 The '55-57 Chevy's definitely did get a lot of recognition but surprisingly people seem to overlook the Buick's, Pontiac's and the Oldsmobile's of that era, my overall favorite era of cars is from 1965 to 1972

@Doobie1975 Hey, Darian! I think that's true, with the exception of the full sized 55 to 57 Chevys. They got attention almost immediately! Generally, though, 2 and 4 door post sedans and stationwagons were generally neglected....except, of course, the Nomad! Thanks! :) Jack

@raconter1 I really miss the days when they've made cars like this, that was when cars had soul and personality, I personally thought the full size cars of the 60s/early 70s didn't get as much recognition as the muscle cars

@Doobie1975 Hey, Darian! Yes indeed, these Mopars of the time were sturdy cars....useful, and with the 383 four barrel, it had guts! Thanks! :) Jack

[Doobie1975]

I knew someone who owned a '71 Plymouth Sport Suburban wagon with a 383 4 barrel and it was a great car

@SixSpeedSS  I hope it helps! Good luck! :) Jack
