But why a wagon over sedan? Normally wagons are main targets in beginning. |

Put that nose in the corner and let them have fun hitting a brick wall. The rear of those wagons with some hump work is way underestimated

humps are the key to the wagons. You might be ok with the flat stack but personally I have to be able to reinforce the humps directly before I am comfortable with the wagons.

What's this I hear from others local drivers the 67s sedans are way to go what's so special about them anyone know? From what ive heard from guys that have run em is that their super hard in the rear and i think the 67 and 8s are the best. |

What's this I hear from others local drivers the 67s sedans are way to go what's so special about them anyone know? Just curious what would be the difference between a 65 to 68 Newport or newyorker in ass as far as strength? to me it looks like same body style as far as body goes...Never ran one yet,so I'm all ears |

I heard frames different in rear. Guess it's kinda like 73 has the extra front gusset an no other year does in front. Heard it's only 67 to have something extra in rear.
