night cub ◊ 2017-02-23 00:55	So I replaced the main pic today with an upgraded one and there are a couple things that make me think this is not a 1971-72 model. The new pic shows vent windows, which from what I can tell were available 1969-70, but not 1971-72. Second, exposed windshield wipers, 1971 brought in hidden wipers. And finally, the headlamp covers. The 1969-70 grille trim on the cover was lower, exposing more of the body paint; the 1971-72 covers were more grille and less paint. Unfortunately the door handles are not clear. I also think this is the same wagon used in Episodes 6.10 and 6.11. They show a couple features that would lean towards a 1969 model, and that year there was no plain Marquis Wagon, just the Colony Park (with hidden headlights). So I think this is a 1969 Colony Park that's had it's woodgrain removed or painted over. 6.11: -- Last edit: 2017-02-23 01:21:13
