Found a couple of corvair station wagons in a barn just wondered how collectable or rare these cars are. Thanks

The Lakewood station wagons are definitely collectable. Not highly priced but increasing in popularity. Production was limited to two years 1961 & 1962. A reported total of 32,120 Lakewoods were made.
How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!

Not to be picky, but only the 1961 was badged as a Lakewood. Production was stopped sometime in 1962, presumably because it was displaced by the Chevy II wagon. The short run 1962 wagon was offered in Monza trim.
There are a couple of photos of my Son's '62 Monza Wagon in the thread about my '36 low roof Semi Truck.
