The coppers in aspen colorado used eagle wagons in the winter and turbo saab cars in the summer. One of the reasons I got into Eagles is from this. While walking to the mountain from our rental the cop shop was on the way. Every year the Eagles were there in their lot and being used while the saab cars sat covered in snow. The Eagles they had were dark blue wagons. I have been looking for years for a picture I had of one. ------------- 1968 Javelin SST 1997 GMC Safari AWD 2001 Daewoo Nubira SX (Winnipeg only model) 1997 Honda Accord EX (Canadian Model) Winnipeg, home of the Jets. |

That is a Great looking Eagle, keep up the good work! Some places here in the US spray a oil and diesel mixture all over the chassis to prevent the salt from the snowy road from rusting the car out. Might be an idea to consider if you are using it for winter a lot. Those chrysler wheels look good on that car, not many "modern" wheels work on an Eagle. Curious if you added a second windshield washer pump or if it came with 2 ? Keith

Ah i see it has a rear window wiper that why 2 pumps, do you have the wiper arm? Can you get a good picture of the hitch and how its mounted, I would like to build a hitch for my Eagle. Keith

Posted By: Stormogdis
Date Posted: May/16/2021 at 6:17am
No i am looking for the rear wiper arm. Guess it's the same on the Hornet Sportabout and Concord wagon. I can get a picture of the hitch for you later

I remember someone in the Eagle group put wiper arms on their Eagle from a 90's jeep cherokee to have newer style wiper arms. I wonder if a rear wiper arm from a cherokee would fit the rear of the Eagle and sportabout as well? It might be a bit shorter as the cherokee has a smaller glass area, but is worth a try, and maybe a longer wiper would make up some of the difference if there is any. The Cherokee was an AMC design just carried on by Chrysler.

Jeep Wrangler 1997-2006 with half doors use the same handles. Available in black or chrome plated. I had got 4 new black ones for my 85 Eagle wagon. (ebay) Dont know the brand but they were way better than the originals. Here in Winnipeg the originals could not survive the winters. Rock auto has both colours now. Chrysler dealers here only had black last I checked.
