<VV> fitch wagon

[Mark Noakes]

Our 61 Lakewood was always loud.  We ran it with about 4 inches of quilts neatly arranged in the station wagon area  to deaden engine noise.  When we were growing up, this area was referred to as the "way-in-back"...I've never heard of an official name for that area...
