1972 Chevrolet Brookwood Station Wagon
The Chevrolet Brookwood is a series of full-size station wagons produced by Chevrolet from 1958 to 1961, and again from 1969 to 1972. It debuted in 1958 as Chevrolet’s mid-range model in its station wagon lineup, positioned between the less expensive Yeoman and more luxurious Nomad station wagons. After the Yeoman was discontinued in 1959, the Brookwood was subsequently demoted to entry-level status, before going out of production altogether in 1961. It made a brief reappearance from 1969 and 1972, once again as the least-expensive wagon in Chevrolet’s lineup.
Brookwoods received Chevrolet’s front fascia restyle in 1972 and could be ordered with any number of options from full wheel covers to a vinyl top. For 1972, Chevrolet listed a four-door sedan and the Brookwood in that year’s Biscayne line.
From 1969 until 1972 the car was built at the Oshawa Car Assembly in Ontario.
So many people try and do fake patina but finding a car with real patina and no rust is a real delight and that’s exactly what this Brookwood wagon is. So once you find that perfect car to start with then you have to make it drive again and that takes some time and money and this one has been done.
Under the hood of this 1972 Chevrolet Brookwood Station Wagon you’ll find 6.2 liters of rowdy Camaro LS3 that, thanks to a polished ProCharger supercharger, creates 725 dyno-proven horsepower! That potent engine, professionally rebuilt by Performance Red Line of Quebec, spins a smooth 4L60E 4-speed that was sourced directly from GM. That transmission twists power to a tough 10-bolt axle that’s finished with a posi-traction differential.
Decked in an attractive combination of vinyl and cloth, this Chevy’s tastefully customized interior is tailored and taut. Front and center, broad bench seats prop small headrests on red-stitched diamonds. Opposite those thrones, a body-matched dash hangs analog Dakota Digital telemetry above a small Auto Meter boost gauge. The driver spins a polished Billet Specialties steering wheel. Rich red carpet provides a nice contrast to the car’s black vinyl while giving a subtle nod to its 2-tone exterior.
For many of us, owning a classic car is about defying norms and standing out from the crowd. It’s an extension of the passion and creativity we always feel but can’t always display. With this excellent Brookwood, you’re sure to be the boss of the road and the embodiment of culture!
