Forget Wagons – How About A Honda Accord Shooting Brake?
If the Ferrari FF is just a little too common for you, a Minnesota man has what must be the only one of its kind in the United States – a 1987 Honda Accord Aerodeck, practically new with just 29,750 miles on the clock.
Prior to seeing this car, I only thought that Aerodeck meant “station wagon” in European Honda’s nomenclature. The more mundane Accord wagons that were omnipresent in my family when I was a child were branded as such, but I was far too young to ever known of this bizarre, elongated Civic hatch that graced Europe and Japan with its nifty, right-angle hatchback opening.
The 2.0L 12 valve motor may only make 98 horsepower, but the seller claims that the car has a brown velour interior and over $10,000 worth of receipts. Sounds good to me.

Was just going to say that it looks like a honda version of somethin much older and bigger in my driveway. Two door 57 chev station wagon. A 210. The shooting brake is a name that never appealed to me but understand it was used for shotguns and hounds in Europe and produced for the gentry. I suppose some folks are too rich to use a normal station wagon for that.
This takes me back. My Dad had a red one of these back in the 1980's, he also had a labrador hence the choice of car. My Sister and I had flown the nest by then so a two door estate sort of made sense to him. I seem to remember it had quite a powerful engine (2.2 Ltr?) and the difference in build quality between the Rovers he had had before and this was amazing.
