It seems that silver station wagons are seldom seen but looking at this 1968 Dodge Monaco wagon I’d love to to see more. The  woodgrain/silver combination works well on car I’m accustomed to seeing in drab olive green.

Not much information is given on this Craigslist find other than it is said to be in mint condition with one repaint. The original woodgrain finish looks fantastic, a testament to the care of the wagon. The Monaco is powered by a 383 2bbl V8 with automatic transmission, power steering and power brakes.  I’d love to see 3rd row seating, but I’d be nitpicking on what is a very nice car that has somehow avoided the ravages of time and family hauling all these years.

Fairly priced at $9,500 OBO, make sure you have plenty left over for gas.

This 1956 Dodge Sierra station wagon found on Ebay is an older restoration that still looks great. The Dodge is finished in a classic tri-color paint job of Oriental Coral, Iridescent Charcoal and white for the roof. The interior is freshly restored in black and white vinyl.

Options include full time power steering, power brakes and pushbutton transmission. The car is said to run and drive fantastic.

I’ve always thought of ’56 Dodges as having a modest fin treatment but the rear styling on the ’56 Dodge wagons really accentuates the fins, almost looking like the fins of a ’57 Chevy.
