I bought this wagon in the summer of 1999. I was living on the East Side of Detroit at that time; as I drove to the pet store to get some cat food for my hungry felines, I saw this "Mint Parfait Surprise of a Vehicle" parked in an empty lot, and just had to stop. A 'FOR SALE' was sign stuck in the front window. I looked in and, saw a turquoise hair clip on the visor and I knew I just had to have this car. A friend of mine came over later in the day and I took him to see the car, he told me that this was a car that he could picture me in. How convenient, it was my birthday that day, and I decided to buy myself a gift. So I called and called, and called ...finally I got a ring back and learned all about the car...and now its mine! The glove box also gifted a pair of matching turquoise sunglasses.

I need to do some cosmetic work on the body. The rear fenders are a tad bit rusty and there are a few spots of surface rust hear and there. I don't think its in that bad of shape considering that it has NOT been restored at all.
