Just a cool wagon that got some lip-service on one of the Hot Rod forums today from some of the Billetproof crowd.

Very bitchin' GM Wagon. I'd definitely rock it.

Looks like one of those futuristic worlds fair cars from the past!Those high mount tailights are now
commonplace.Even the glasshouse reminds me of a short minivan.Very interesting design for
somone who was a impressionable youth in the early sixties.

Same as in the Lakewood Wagons.

Corvair Futura P1010071

*Wish* that they'd made a Boxer-8 for them, but then, the Corvair boxer 6's were good for 150HP or so when tuned and were frequently used to replace the VW boxer 4's in Kit Cars and Dune Buggies if you wanted a wheelie-machine. They pulled their own.

Not unless you want a fan-powered colonoscopy. Laughing

thankfully this wasn't a GM built styling project, but actually a home built custom.
it sold on ebay some 7-10 years ago. The name "futura" is owned by ford, they had used it a few times on some of their own concept cars in the 50's.....the 1955 lincoln futura comes to mind, that was later customized by george barris into the batmobile used in the 60's tv series
