http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jalopnik/2009/06/71ChevelleWagon-LH_Frt.jpgWelcome to Down On The Street (http://jalopnik.com/tag/down-on-the-street/), where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. Here's a very original, possibly even original-owner-driven Chevelle wagon.
http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jalopnik/2009/06/71ChevelleWagon-Rr.jpgThe Gawker Server Hamsters have decreed that new galleries shall no longer function, so we're going back, back in time, back to a day when you had to wait for a bunch of full-sized images to load. Apologies to those of you with slow internet connections, but we must do as the Hamsters decree!
http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jalopnik/2009/06/71ChevelleWagon-Snout.jpgThis is a type of vehicle that was once as common as the minivan is today: the midsize station wagon (http://jalopnik.com/tag/station-wagon/). The Concours was one of the lower-level trim levels for the ubiquitous-in-its-day Chevelle station wagon.
http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jalopnik/2009/06/71ChevelleWagon-LH_Rr.jpgThis one has the 350-cubic-inch small-block Chevrolet engine (http://jalopnik.com/cars/engine/workhorse-engine-of-the-day-small+block-chevrolet-309576.php), the favored engine of Camaro hoons the world over. Of course, this wagon may well be on its 7th small-block by now, but odds are it still has the original 350.
