Cohort Pic(k) Of The Day: 1967 Chevrolet Biscayne Wagon And Dodge Route Van — Vintage Fleet
– Posted on March 14, 2024
I love old divo’s vans, but this dodge would do in a pinch. the Divo’s you drive standing up. you push down on the clutch pedal half way for clutch and all the way for brake, with hand throttle.
Byscaine???? Foreign model???
Typo; corrected now. Thanks.
That is not a Biscayne. It’s an Impala with the six taillights.
The Biscayne wagon used that taillight assembly, otherwise the tailgate couldn’t have opened.
Ah! Answers my question that appears ‘below”. Thanks much.
Lacks the tailgate trim of the Impala, but it could be a Bel Air. All big Chevy wagons in 1967 had the six taillights.
yes u are rite the biscane only had 4 we had a caprice it was very fancy 3 rows of seats 327 275h/p nice car to drive at 16 just got licence
Bel Aire and Impala sedans and coupes used the same tail lamp design for ’67.
I’d love to see that Dodge back on the road .

The Dodge Route Van was interesting, unlike other vehicle of this type Dodge built the whole thing not just the chassis. Many had Fluid-Drive, and all Route Vans had a De Dion rear axle with the differential mounted to the chasssis. The design was not to improve the ride or handing, it was done to provide a lower load floor.
The off-center engine is nicely visible in this one, with part of the grille missing. Engine on the right, fixed differential, double U-jointed parallel IRS. Totally radical and doesn’t get any credit!
Never seen one of those dodges, it seems like the IH Metros get all the attention these days. But the Dodge looks pretty good too.
Future food truck.
The “67” wagons had the same back lights as the Impala and Caprice wagons? Are there metal fillers in those “inside squares”?
I never noticed that “quirk” till now.
I think the Caprice wagons had six red lenses in the taillights, separate back up lights in the bumper.
My Father bought a used ’67 Bel Air wagon in ’72 to replace his ’64 Pontiac. The Bel Air was light yellow with a black vinyl interior. It was well equipped with power steering, brakes, and tail gate glass. It even had a/c, which is probably why he bought it. I wondered why the buyer wouldn’t have chosen at least the Impala trim level. It was okay with a small V8 and auto, probably Powerglide. My main impression was that it was big and cheap. My Dad had favored an intermediate model before, and would trade the Chevy out for another Pontiac, this time a ’69 Le Mans wagon.
