1974 Dodge-based WInnie Wagon: after the Blass Lincoln my new favourite thing...

7/23/2011

On my afternoon hillside walk I rounded a wooded corner straight onto - what looked at first glance like a battered and testosterone-upsized version of Marc Newsom's concept Ford....
Picture
but what turned out to be a rather spectacular (underneath a fairly chunky patina of age) orange and white rendition of the 1974 Winnie Wagon.

Picture
Unfortunately this advert doesnt show the futuristic moulded tail that wraps like a handlebar moustache right around the rear window in a sinuous extruded shelf...desperate to know more about this vehicle I dragged the dog homeward and looked it up.  A rare beast - not many for sale and not many images online either...
Picture
you can get a sense of the moulded rear in this shot (kids get out of the way!!).  And I found one online for sale - in Tennassee, for $2500.  VERY tempting.
In an ignoble ending a google of Winnie wagon reveals an inelegant folding wire shopping trolley bearing the name and a host of ugly images.  I am on a quest to learn more about the Winnie Wagon.  Stay tuned.....
