only year this rare Chevelle Laguna Estate Wagon was built. Two
Laguna station wagons were introduced for 1973 only, including the
#39;Laguna Estate #39;. The wagons, available in six- or
nine-passenger seating, featured a counterbalanced liftgate which
allowed for easy entry and loading up to 85 cubic feet.The
Chevrolet Chevelle Laguna is a mid-sized automobile produced by
Chevrolet for the 1973 through 1976 model years. Part of the GM
A-Body platform, the 1973 Laguna series included coupes, sedans and
in 1973 station wagons. It was the top-line Chevelle series that
year positioned above the Malibu. For 1974 through 1976 the car was
produced as a one-model Laguna S-3 coupe, the new-for 1974 Malibu
Classic series taking the top luxury series position. All Lagunas
sported urethane front-ends which easily distinguished them from
other Chevelles. NASCAR driver Cale Yarborough earned the first two
of his three consecutive Winston Cup championships piloting a
Chevelle Laguna. The third generation Chevelle was an extensively
used body style in NASCAR competition from 1973 to 1977. The
Chevelle Laguna S-3 in particular was extremely successful. Its
sloped nose, small rear quarter windows and quot;fastback-style
quot; rear glass gave it an aero advantage over other GM body
styles at NASCAR #39;s fastest tracks. Junior Johnson #39;s team,
with driver Cale Yarborough, won 34 races and earned the first two
of three consecutive Winston Cup championships. Considered a
limited edition quot;aero quot; model by NASCAR, the Laguna S-3 was
made ineligible for competition following the 1977 season. The
Laguna was so fast that Nascar required the cars be fitted with
#39;restrictor plates #39; to effectively slow them down when no
other cars had this requirement.Without a doubt, this is one very
nice example of this highly desirable amp; virtually fully loaded
1973 Chevrolet Chevelle Laguna Estate Wagon! Certainly, you will
look long and hard to find another such model available anywhere
else!
