Installing Vintage Air Into A 1966 Chevelle Wagon About 20 years ago I was working at a Chevelle restoration parts warehouse, the now defunct "True-Connections."

1966 Chevelle Wagon Door Rebuilding With our 1966 Chevelle Wagon project up and running, we wanted to turn our attention to the interior.
