Well, I have been "schooled" and it appears that the Monza wagon did indeed
come with the beltline trim, same as the 700 wagon, so I guess it is indeed
a genuine Monza wagon.  Sorry for the confusion.  Even a Stock early guy can
learn something new!

Well. I've gone through Tony Fiore's book and Monty Montgomery's, and 
neither were that much help.  Monty's book did have interior pictures for 
the interior of a '63 700 sedan and it was nowhere as nice as what's in the 
wagon that's for sale.  Tony's book mentions that in '61 the 4 door Monza 
came with either a vinyl or a combo fabric and vinyl, so I would imagine the

same held true in '62, but neither addressed the 62 wagon.  The interior 
door panel does look like the Monza door panel for that year.

Unlike a Monza, it has the chrome side strip of a 700, but here's where you 
need a Monza Wagon expert, if there is one.  Maybe they didn't remove it on 
the wagon.  There is a 1962 700 wagon picture in Monty's book and the 700 
badge is in front of the front wheel opening.

It appears that not much information is available on the wagons.
