A whole bunch of Chevy Chase clones live in that house and every morning they pour out of there and drive one to work

The house is so right for a wagon. So Mid-Century, So suburban.

pretty sure you'll find an answer if you ask in the wagon forums over at impalassforum.com

I haven't been on in awhile as it's been years since I sold my wagon, but most of the b-body hoarde... I mean aficionados know who has multiples. Clean ones go for good money, and those look to all be worthwhile. Guys make side businesses out of cleaning/restoring/selling via EBay and the like similar to the P71 resellers.

There is a lot southwest of downtown Columbus that probably has 30 - 40 b-bodies on it, mostly Roadmaster wagons.

As in dealer's lot?

This thread fails without an address. I know at least two people who would like to get one of those, although they'd remove the LT1 abortion and put a 5.3 or 6.0 in there instead. Probably cheaper than fixing the Optispark...

No, as in storage lot. Someone's collection. It's on McKinley Ave just south of Fisher Rd. I doubt they are for sale.

Yep! I counted over 40 potential b-bodies right there. Crazy. I have no idea what the story is behind it. That lot is in "junk yard row" in Columbus, but the lot itself is not a public yard, just a private storage lot.

interestingly that google maps link is blocked at work. which is weird since google maps isn't blocked.

My uncle had a roadmaster with wood grain and he LOVED it... when my cousin totalled it he was more pissed at losing the car than he was at his son totalling yet another car (I think he did 5 or 6 by the time he turned 21). This was like the year after they quit selling them (97 maybe?) and his inability to purchase another brand new one was very upsetting.
