All great Ken, but the list just wouldn't be complete without Irving's Aspen! Or the 80 Aspen out of Kentucky(Dale Mears??). Love the wagons..Great write up!

Re: Top Ten Coolest Wagons
I've seen a LOT of cool wagons over the last 40+ years, even raced a couple...my 65 Impala Wagon R/SA and Gary Doose' 62 Plymouth Supply Wagon....but none are as cool as Charlie Boyles and Good Ole Charlie Brown. I only saw his pictures and read articles about him for decades until I moved to Virginia. Now I get to watch and announce him at least once a month at Elk Creek. He runs our Stick Shift Series and even comes out for the Stock/SS events. Amazing car and an absolute Gentleman to visit with.
Without a doubt, The COOLEST of the Wagons. |
Re: Top Ten Coolest Wagons
I apologize and reading is a skill. Current wagons competing in class racing is the topic.
The 427 Fairlane is among the favorites. |
Re: Top Ten Coolest Wagons
Bichelmier's 55 wagon is certainly not a Nomad, but I believe a 150 with 210 trim air brushed on it.

There is just no question hands down that Chris Whitney's is the coolest of them all IMHO!

Coolest wagon ever... also the most feared wagon ever Paul Blevins 55 Nomad G/MP absolutely awesome. I still hear that Mouse motor screaming through the traps at ETown! Sorry it brings me back... But if we're talking current it's tough to top Greg Luneack's Nova Wagon!

I`m partial to Wojo`s Wine Wagon. Somewhat current, hasn't been out in a year.
but lets face it, there is nothing like those Mod.Prod. cars. How many times do you rewind the launch? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQxvKFQMKw0 |
Re: Top Ten Coolest Wagons
Mike,
Is that Highland Park, NJ Mike Boyles of Jersey Twister fame? He and I went to high School together and i've lost touch with him... |
Re: Top Ten Coolest Wagons
My vote is for Jim Hale with his 383 powered '66 Belvedere wagon. This picture was taken August 31, 2017, where he won K/SA class at Indy.

the 1-2 shift because I was too busy watching him wheelie on his gear change...whenever you think you’ve messed up in every conceivable way you can always find another! |
Re: Top Ten Coolest Wagons
You can't do a top 10 without Randall Klein's div 5 wagon, doesn't get any better.

Re: Top Ten Coolest Wagons
u all missed the best one pontiac ss/u won sportsnational
|
Re: Top Ten Coolest Wagons
Ok. So i gotta chime in here! For me, Chris Whitney's car is one of the coolest. Why? Its huge, its a stick and leaves awesome! Any wagon is cool, 2 door wagons are cooler, but...... when you put a big block and a stick in a huge one, and make it launch like that! I'm in.
I do like Jim Hale's too. Wish they would have made that in a 2 door. After I win the lottery I would like to build a 1965 Chevelle 2 door wagon super stocker. |
Re: Top Ten Coolest Wagons
#1, Good Ol' Charlie Brown, all others fall in line.

Re: Top Ten Coolest Wagons
I don't think he's raced in a few years, but Mark Longo's (OH) 66/67 KLM stick Nova is pretty Cool.
|
Re: Top Ten Coolest Wagons
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Capt. Jack's wagon.....
|
Re: Top Ten Coolest Wagons
Of course, Bob Benders "Fat Girl" '69 Kingswood picking-up the front wheels is waaaay cool. Lets not forget the "Carpetbagger" '55 Nomad, would have been F/MP back in the day, Old School Cool! Just ran at this years "Dutch Classic"

Re: Top Ten Coolest Wagons
Thanks Gordie!
Final Four at Pomona / Phoenix 2017 and a Div Final in 2016 for the Old man in the Old Wagon before I got sick last year! |
Re: Top Ten Coolest Wagons
I agree with MJ..........how about Captain Jack's USA wagon. I am guessing that it is probably the longest competing wagon in NHRA and it is way cool. Also need to mention my brother's W/S Pinto wagon that won the stick combo at this years U.S. Nationals.
|
Re: Top Ten Coolest Wagons
Hard to believe no mention of Tim Weinzapful's '66 Belair wagon. 283 stick and always qualifies near the top. Go Tim!

All wagons are cool to me. From my dad's W/S Pinto, to Irving's Aspen, to Whitney's Fairlane (honestly my favorite by a wide margin), to Captains Kingwood and EVERYTHING in between. I always love these wagon threads!!! |

Re: Top Ten Coolest Wagons
Yet another cool currently raced Stocker wagon from Division 6 is Pat Brooks O/SA 64 Chevelle 2 door wagon. Pat owns 2 of these rare beasts.

Re: Top Ten Coolest Wagons
I love all the wagons but my favorite has always been The Behemoth.
|
Re: Top Ten Coolest Wagons
Speaking of wagons,does anybody know how Spyder and the Monster Mash are doing?

Re: Top Ten Coolest Wagons
Ron Ortiz has to be the most interesting wagon driver!!
