I haven`t seen that,but I do remember a small story in a National Dragster E.T. issue back in the late 80`s mentioning the Biondo Family and a pic of the same wagon. In black and white ink,it looked like a white 80`s Caprice wagon with wood grain on the sides. Nice!

That wagon was "Senior Citizen Tan".Right Sam?

We still have the practice tree that we bought from them over twenty years ago. Still works like new. I bought it for my son when he was twelve and now my ten year old granddaughter is using it for her jr/dragster. Pretty good investment eh? I always pictured Biondo as a LARGE company and thought it was cool to call there and have Sam answer the phone. Didn't know they were just regular guys like us.
