heres some pics of my chevy luv and my other toy.i posted it because alot of americans have probebly never seen one and i thought it would be cool to show it off!

Cool car! Now, does that Kingswood have a copy cat brother car in the US. It kind of looks like about a late 60's early 70's chevy of one kind or another.


My parents had a '69 Chevy Caprice station wagon when I was a little kid. It had the fake wood decal on the sides and had emblems at the rear sides that said Kingswood Estate.

Looks like half monte carlo (Front) and half nova (Back) to me.

RIP R.J.B.

i was at a car show a while ago and parked beside me was a 72 four door nova and it was about the same length as that just a bit wider and an american bloke at the same show said how much the front looked like a monte carlo..ive always had a massive soft spot for u.s. muscle but this is all i could afford as im only an apprentice.still these cars are very iconic over here and fetch a fair bit of money now.ill post sum more pics of it up aswell as my luv

General Motors Holden (GMH) is a part of GM/ Chev etc so some of the kingswood body design is based on American cars. The top of the range kingswoods were fitted with 350 chevs and saginaw trannys. Even a few were imported into Japan by Mazda and fitted with ROTARY engines

FIAA!

SFPP!

i wonder if it would sell in america for comparable dollars to what aussies pay for american muscle these days

That's what I was thinking also, I just didn't type it. The Kingswood thing got me thinking about the old wagon and I went down that road.

Actually,to me it looks like a Ventura nose and Chevelle/Le Mans quarters,but that's just me.

My mom also had a "69" Kingswood Estate wagon with the wood paneling decals,that baby had a 427 in it!!
