I had one many years ago. It was a 411 wagon with automatic trans and gas heater. They were not a replacement for the fast/square back because they were more upscale and I believe they had a type four engine. Something that never quite caught on, like the Quantum. They had EFI and were very roomy for a car their size. As far as getting one now, they are awfully old for a daily driver. As far as a collectors item, well a Edesel collector once told me that if it wasn't popular when it was new, it won't be popular when it's old!
