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.

Thanks to Bring A Trailer for the link

    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.

      +1 re: the shooting brake concept. The Japanese loved the idea cause it's all... British- and noble-sounding. In terms of the overall Accord range, this is probably the equivalent of the Crosstour today.

    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.

  • Dartdude The bottom line is that in the new America coming the elites don't want you and me to own cars. They are going to make building cars so expensive that the will only be for the very rich and connected. You will eat bugs and ride the bus and live in a 500sq-ft. apartment and like it. HUD wants to quit giving federal for any development for single family homes and don't be surprised that FHA aren't going to give loans for single family homes in the very near future.
  • Ravenuer The rear view of the Eldo coupe makes it look fat!
  • FreedMike This is before Cadillac styling went full scale nutty...and not particularly attractive, in my opinion.

  • TCowner We've had a 64.5 Mustang in the family for the past 40 years. It is all original, Rangoon Red coupe with 289 (one of the first instead of the 260), Rally Pac, 4-speed, factory air, every option. Always gets smiles and thumbs ups.
