Looks like a bad toupee on moby dick. John Wayne should have stuck to horses.

It's weird and it's got legitimate history and it would be a blast to drive up to a cars and coffee in it

Love the interior. But I'm biased.

OR you could have just looked at the title of the link and saved yourself 5 seconds of typing.

Never understood how celebrity farts make stuff more valuable?

You guys are a funny bunch. The wagon going up for auction is pretty nice. It's pretty much a stock wagon with a Vista Cruiser section of roof grafted onto the front for some extra head room. That might be the most subtle Barris custom since Sam's death.

With all the negative comments I was expecting the earlier wagon.

I don't care for the horns, but other than that, I'd drive it!

while I think it is cool that the Duke liked thing subtle and stealthy (he could have afforded a much nicer car) I do not see why any of these wagons are that cool.. and I like wagons
