UPDATE 8/23/09: My biological birth giver sent this vehicle to the crusher without my knowledge. May my baby rest in peace.

I found Charlotte or just "Char" (like shar) in Southern California. Great story behind this gem. Take a look at the orignal California black plate license plate frames. This car was driven be the lady who owned it, and the car did well I was told. We the little old lady drove this car for a long, long time and always went to the same old mechanic who was known to keep the car in well running condition. From time to time, he would even add better parts from his collection of old junkers. Eventually, the old mechanic traded the old lady out of her Vista wagon and into an 85 Oldsmobile wagon.

This car is a very close replica of my dad's 1966 Vista Cruiser. Although my dad's had a white driver's side fender and was full of bondo and covered in primer on the sides to cover the Midwest salt damage, I think I can still love this 66!

When you get to drive her down the road that is when the memories will really hit home. Thats when you will really fall head over heels for her. Come check out mine and tell me what you think. 5 stars from me

You simply gotta love that old Vista, Nick. It still has lots of future in it in spite of the seemingly big job ahead in restoring her. And above all, it is a wagon. Let's keep those wagons rolling!!! Cheers!!!
