Well Kurt I guess that you will have to get another bird and start on that project.

Tanaman · Member

You should get one for the Wife's Camaro.

John D · 2K+ Club

Kinda reminds me of the red panel/wagon the wife drove in "Mad Max"...

The Second-Gen versions looked pretty cool (Hurst Hatch?). I don't like the Third Gen wagon as much. I think there was a Fourth Gen too..

Got any pics of the different versions? 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th gens?

"Kammback" isn't really accurate, but a common misnomer for that style. I'd call it a "Shooting Brake" instead.

Chevy dilluted the "Kammback" name with the Vega wagons, and the name stuck... a true Kammback though is the aero design with the back having its curve chopped flat, like a Shelby Daytona coupe.

Here's a link to the 4th Gen. I saw it at SEMA in 2000 when it was first built. Pretty cool...

This is the one that started it all...the '79 Second Gen: http://www.firemanjax.com/wqik.net/kammback/index.htm

Pontiac called it a Kammback (just like Chevy called the Vega wagon a Kammback...had a script on the side and everything) even though it's not technically accurate.
