I've attached a shot I found a while back of a Euro AMG E36 Wagon.
Neil- the first Hammer wagon was built in the US in Westmont, IL. It had the Quad cam 6.0 liter, and since it was built on a diesel wagon (300TD), the only available W124 wagon platform at the time (1987) it required a rewire of the entire car and it cost in excess of $180,000. Apparently, the AMG home office thought they were nuts for attempting it, and it took as much time as three Hammer sedans to build.
It was written up in Automobile magazine 1988- I have the article, if I had the technical prowess I'd actually scan it in.
It has been my inspiration since first seeing it in 1988, and since Jean Lindamood voted it the best all around car if you could have one car for everything. I guess she never encountered rain or snow in Michigan.
