About a week ago the wagon was involved in a collision. Even though it is bad, He is planning on repairing it. The car is worth the effort. Make sure you have a tissue handy, you will need it.

I have a pic saved somewhere of Taxi cabs in Monaco or some such place and they are the same two toned scheme. Also, I would love to see a profile view of how that steering wheel fits on that wagon.

Yes it does. Especially since it turns out the other driver was uninsured, and his insurance will probably low-ball the value, even though he has many thousands of dollars in receipts. The bumpers are one of a kind, and fabricated from several bumpers. They are almost irreplaceable.
On a different note, the sedan is on Bring a Trailer (high end auction site). I have not checked where it is at lately, but is should do good at the fall of the gavel.

Ouch!

Looks like it was hit in the back enough to swerve the car onto something beside it?

I believe three vehicles were involved.
