Okay, the real design problem with the 240 series is that the station wagon could not carry a 4X8 sheet of plywood flat on the cargo area floor. What were they thinking ?! The other issue is that you can not load much 10 foot tubing or lumber and still shut the tailgate.

Name another car that will do as much with as liitle fuss. Maintenence is not always as easy as a Farmall letter series tractor, but it is close. There are so many cars on the road today that will be sitting in the junk yard long before my 245 because they are not worth the cost of repairs.

The other thing is that these cars are still 'sympathetic' to owner modification and improvement.
