Anyone know if the back seat, rear seat bottom on a 1961 lakewood is the
same as a car?
----------------------------------------------
Smitty Says; James My wagon is not here or I would measure for facts. I
can say this though. I believe the wagon seat is deeper (taller) from the
floor support to the upper surface. It always seemed to me to be made for
comfort rather than the barely adequate seat bottom in sedans. When you sit
on a wagon seat you kind of sink down into it. The only other that might be
the same would be the 4 door seat bottom. Again I have nothing here to
measure.

I can't speak to the seat question, but on the hubcaps, the "taller"
ones are 1960, and the "shallower" ones are 1961. So the shallow ones
are the correct ones for your 1961 Lakewood.

The 1960 Corvair had tall domes on the hub caps. Some people complained they rubbed on curbs so Chevy made them flatter (less dome) in 1961.

I have a NICE luggage rack on the back of my 69 vert.
Q1 The " Wood" looks like vinyl, there is a seam on the under side. Is regular wax OK?
Q2 Will I be able to remove the black plastic ":Bullets" from the ends of the tubes without too much trouble? I see gunk.

The back seat looks funny - is the bench part normally that short?

When the wheels were manufactured, they used an epoxy on the threaded part of the spoke, and they are next to impossible to remove the nipple from the spoke. I know, because I tried to do it more than once.
