NOVA L79 WAGON????

[JohnZ]

I worked at Willow Run from '64-'66 (Production Foreman, Engine Dress line and Chassis Line), and I clearly recall that we built a Fleet Order of 20 or so white '66 Chevy II station wagons with tinted glass for an outfit with a name like "Southwest Oklahoma Gas & Electric" that were all L-79 4-speeds with A/C (the A/C in those days was the "Cool-Pack" under-dash hang-on unit). The F&SO also called for Hurst shifters, and the customer's rep delivered a pallet of retail-boxed Hurst shifters to the plant to build them with. We installed the Hurst shifters on the engine dress line, and the dual exhaust systems were a PITA coming down the Chassis Line, as we had to drill holes in the left rear rails and install Rivnuts to anchor the left side muffler and tailpipe hangers. The roll-testers loved them! Somewhere in Oklahoma the meter-readers had lots of fun with those cars!
