nice wagon!!

 

Lolol. Awesome car for sure.

But this is not a "wagovan."

 

The maroon Civic on the e-bay thread above is most definitely a Wagovan. It was sold primarily for the delivery trade hence the differences from the 'Wagon.' My dad bought one new in 1982 because it was the least expensive version available. It had a flat-folding back seat, no rear arm rests on the doors, and a plastic tray in the center of the seat (only a 4-passenger). It came without clock or radio. Ours was silver, a 5-speed. They loved it. You can see these features in the e-bay photos.

 

Is there any documentation that actually says "Wagonvan?" (badges, registration, title, catalog?) I'm pretty sure that the 3g Civic Wagovan was just a label, and didn't have anything to do with the purpose of the vehicle... Also, pretty sure the wagons weren't badged "Wagovan" until the 3g Civic. Always discovering new things every day though!

 

No sir. The wagovan came about in 1984.
