I had two just like that in turd brown. Great little wagon, until the rear suspension was coming apart. If, correction, IF you look at one of these, look under the rear seat for holes at the seams. That said, it gave mid to upper 30's on the highway at a foot-to-the-floor 75. Gave one to a friend to take him to Fla. Blew the motor in MD at 75 plus after the upper hose blew and he kept driving. But not for long. YMMV Fred
