Hey Ralf, use all the "Bad English" you want as I'm sure all of us will overlook it for more pictures of your "SWEET" looking wagon ! Oh yeah, welcome to the site .....

[TikiRalf]

yes i''m also more of the pictures than the words

Sweet ride!

The rack on the roof reminds me of the 62 Corvair wagon I had back in the early 80's. It had a ladder rack and I carried a 16' fiberglass extension ladder and step ladder on top. I had a small business wiring apartment buildings/hotels/motels for cable TV service. The wagon was too rusty to save and go donated to a club member for parts.

Have I seen pictures of this one before? Perhaps before a repaint and also some photo shop pictures

[TikiRalf]

yes that was one of the idees when he just arrived in the netherlands,

the interior was also very bad so they make a new interior and than they sold it on before the paint it like this idee

Welcome Ralph ... I dig that car of yours, very nice!

[flat6_musik]

Welcome Ralf!.....very cool ride! It's got a clean profile....and I'll bet you won't see any other Corvair Lakewoods over where you're at. At least I don't think so.

[TikiRalf]

@ Flat6,

Yes you are correct, i'm the only Lakewood on the road in the netherlands, i now another one but it is standing in a museum in the netherlands and have a USA title and papers (not legal to drive it on the dutch road)

So i'm verry happy that it is a unique car

Nice wagon! I was thinking about getting one, but my brother and I wanted to get a 4dr first.

[TikiRalf]

progres on the car is not speeding up, waiting for a lot of parts, But i start to clean the suspension parts.

@ cockroach, you can get a lakewood any time, search when you're ready and you will find a lakewood
