Mr. Matt...Thanx for giving us a place to discuss Conestogas. Great that these help to grow our pictorial collection as well as inform folks about current happenings with these wagons. I dont know how to post flix on this or any other website but if you or anyone else will give me some tutelage towards accomplishing this; I would certainly try to post some Conestoga pictures.

Regardless...Thanx for giving us this Forum

Heres a little something that I think looks great. Helps if you are an Ultra Vista owner. Bought mine from the artist about 4 years ago. At that time they also did up a couple of T-shirt for me with the same image. Damnnn if I aint worn them out.

And yet another over priced, over done Conestoga...in my humble opinion...! Most of us have seen it before.
From the front, it's not bad, maybe even nice except for the crooked/ill mounted bumper...but that's where things go bad..
Sitting behind the steering wheel...well, I wouldn't be able to do it very long without some MAJOR changes.
The oddly chopped top...a waste of time and the ruin of the overall looks. The missing "C" pillar...ok, I could live with that.
From the back is the worst view...and it would take too long to write everything up...

All the above is my impression only, yours may differ.
Here it is for your own viewing....pleasure......

Mike...I gotta agreee that there has got to be a reason that it has not sold in half a dozen trips to the Ebay emporium. I just cant get around the sloped euro style headlights. Everytime I see that I have a tendency to disregard the rest of the car. I think that the stock headlight rings have a lot of character. So much so that I frenched them into my wagon. But I digress.

The top chop appears to have been done this way so that the builder did not have to cut the windshield. Flat glass is so much less challenging. I certainly agree with you on the rear treatment. Some folks taste is just THIER taste.
I wonder how many times it will take for Ebay to find someone that shares his vision?

Hows the Cam building going?

Disregarding the monetary side of this what do ya'all think about this ride?

It aint a Conestoga but it really works for me. Maybe I just been sniffin too much Nitro over the last 19 years?

Got nuthin to do with smellen nitro...
I've got the same curled nostril hairs from that yellow fog....while I don't "not" like it...not my, cup-o-tea as they say.
Slightly better designed than the black wagon...but....a "yellow convertable bath tub"...?

bathtub? Owww! In our world of constant rain every evening I guess that it certainly could turn out that way. If only my glass was half empty?

1. If it had Stude headlights
2. If it had different wheels
3. If it had real tires and not rubber bands
4. If it had a Stude dash
5. If it had an upper and lower tailgate
6. If it had reverse 1/2 Top Chop
7. If I had a Billion Dollars

CLOSE?
