Several new longroof owners have been showing up here in the past few months. I don't think we have attacked any of them for asking questions...........

Welcome!

Welcome to the Madness Dave and congrats on your smart purchase of your lovely B body wagon.And its only a dumb
question if you never ask it.These guys love their wagons and love to talk about them over and over and over again.
Take Care

Welcome 44!

Being winter, the first thing you have to do is flush out the heater core. Flush it both ways. It's probably a 95% chance that is your problem. They are notorious for that. You have all easy problems, heat first.

Idk, Crovo came after me because I left a candy bar in my pocket once. Does that count?

Btw, Welcome Dave. Great bunch of folks here, all your questions will soon be answered.

Welcome Welcome! I'm quite partial to white woody wagons myself. You found the right place, and congrats on the new toy!

Here are some threads that address your issues:

This is overall a great bunch of folks....even though none of the jerks on here have found me a new grill yet! Mad

Seriously though, you found the right place, and you are luck in the fact that there is a large bunch of wagon folks in your general area.

Again ask questions and post pics. We want to save as many of these great old beasts as we can!

Congratulations and welcome to a fellow New Yorker.

(Even though we all know the REAL NY is west of the Hudson River)

I might consider a second wagon , now that the HHR is gone.

The wife DID say she feels safer in a big car..

Hhmmm... now what kind of car do I know of that's big?

Congratulations on the RMW, I wonder If I saw the one you purchased while I was looking? I work at LaGuardia Airport...Let me know if you are nearby...I would love to see your ride.
