Motors.) For many folks of a certain age now, there is a station
wagon somewhere in the family history. A family hauler that gave
kids memories of road trips to seemingly exotic destinations;
Disneyland, Wisconsin Dells, the North woods, the Wild West,
wherever. The car, stuffed with camping gear or suitcases, was
always a key part of the memory. National Lampoon's Vacation
hilariously tapped into these shared experiences, and in the movie,
sure enough, the Wagon Queen Family Truckster had a big role. All
this is by way of noting that station wagons have particular
meaning for Americans. Offered here is a 1977 Dodge Aspen station
wagon in Camel tan over tan, that might well have starred in a
family's vacation movies. Showing 67,348 miles on the odometer-a
very conservative 1,500 miles per-year on average-this Aspen wagon
is a true, low-mileage survivor. With comprehensive recent
maintenance, the wagon's ready to make lots more memories. The
car's exterior paint is original and quite presentable. The finish
is free of damage while showing some fading expected of a car this
age. However, there are no signs of body damage or panel
replacement. Chrome trim, including the bumpers, grille, bodyside
molding, roof rack, and mirrors, is in very good condition.
Lighting lenses are clear and free of cracks; cabin glass also
shows no major flaws. Factory Aspen emblems and Dodge lettering are
properly in place. Full wheel covers are mounted on original steel
wheels with Good Year raised-white-letter tires installed
black-side out. Inside the car, tan vinyl upholstery on the seats
and door trim closely matches the car's exterior Camel tan. The
design features vertical pleats on the upper portions of the seats
and a textured vinyl surface with tufting buttons on the lower
cushions. Carpeting is matching tan with fading noted in places,
particularly in the rear cargo area behind the fold-down rear seat.
A woodgrain accented steering wheel frames straightforward gauges;
the automatic-transmission shifter is column-mounted. The car's
original pushbutton AM radio remains in place. The condition of all
the upholstery and hard surfaces in the interior is extremely good
with no signs of damage or abuse. The car's original owner's manual
remains in the glovebox. Under the hood, the Super Six-branded,
Chrysler 225 cubic-inch slant-six engine with 2-barrel carburetor
is original to the car. This was the base powerplant. The engine
bay is properly ordered and complete, but it has not been overly
detailed. Viewed from below, the same is true for the station
wagon's undercarriage: complete, unmodified, and undamaged. There
is no indication of body-panel rust. The Aspen's VIN tag and
build-information data tags are in place and unaltered. While the
more than 150 high-definition photographs and the short
walk-around-and-startup video available on the GarageKeptMotors
website showcase this '77 Aspen Wagon in detail, we expect and
encourage in-person inspections at our Grand Rapids, Michigan
showroom. Please call to arrange an appointment in advance as our
showroom is not open to the public. And feel free to get in touch
anytime by phone or email if you have questions. It's worth noting

wagon on the Curbside Classic website not
