I wasn't certain on the exact model, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt as the Aussie Chevrolets changed from Bel Air to Impala at some point in the 1960s. |

I don't think the station wagon was ever made for the Australian market, but perhaps converted version? ![]() |

From Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Bel_Air#Australian_Bel_Airs "During the 1960s, Bel Air sedans were available in export markets such as Australia, where they featured right-hand drive. Due to Australian regulations requiring amber rear turn signal lamps, these Bel Air sedans featured Impala-style triple taillights during the 1960s. The center lamp was the amber turn signal lamp and the innermost lights were backup lamps. Most of these RHD Bel Airs used a 1961 Pontiac instrument panel." I think there were a few wagons imported and converted using local sedan parts by companies like Stack & Co in Sydney who were the New South Wales Chevrolet distributors. |

Either that or it could be Tarrytown, NY assembled which they made right hand drive vehicles for other body style that is intended for the export market ![]() |
