Looks like my model train from the 80's!
THAT'S WHY I SWITCH INTO E-Z TRACK!

Hi! Great wintry historical film footage. I had just turned a year old that September. I remember those station wagons. My dad bought a Chevy. Light blue in and out. Wonder if all them had to be scrapped like these days?

Ouch! That looks like an expensive wreck! Curious about the Pontiac banner. Was that placed for advertising purposes or shipping purposes ?

I can only imagine, I’d love one of those vans though.
