Callaway AeroWagon Corvette is Finally Real!
Just Don’t Call the AeroWagon Corvette Shooting Brake a ‘Station Wagon’
Americans have a certain kind of feeling about station wagons. Once a popular family hauler, something changed over the years and we just don’t view them as “cool” anymore. But in Europe, the wagon is alive and well. And even though it technically isn’t a station wagon, the Callaway AeroWagon shooting brake might just change your mind about wagons.
Callaway teased us with renderings of the AeroWagon nearly four years ago, but the real thing emerged at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway to shoot a TV commercial. And thankfully, Pete Callaway, General Manager of California Operations for Callaway, posted some pictures and details of the car on his Facebook page for public consumption.
To create the shooting brake, Callaway removed the rear window and stretched the roof almost all the way to the back of the car. In it’s place is a small, raked window that stretches back to the spoiler. “AeroWagon” logos adorn each side of the new roof. The result? Not only does the conversion look like something that came from GM, it also adds some practicality to the Corvette.
Callaway claims that cargo space in the rear is greatly improved. The factory targa roof is still 100% functional, as you can see in the pics. And incredibly enough, the conversion only takes a few hours with no fabrication required. All for the low, low price of $14,990. Color matching runs another $2,980, and the AeroSpoiler will set you back $1,995.
Callaway originally intended to take orders for the AeroWagon in December. With that point in time already past, it’s unclear when it will become available. But since we’ve now seen the thing in the flesh, expect it to be soon. Go ahead and start scraping together your pennies, Corvette owners.
