| The '''Chevrolet Kingswood''' was a [[station wagon]] produced by [[Chevrolet]] in 1959 and 1960 and again from 1969 to 1972. It was based on the rear-wheel drive [[GM B platform]].
| |
| | |
| During the first run in 1959 and 1960, the Kingswood was available with either a six-cylinder or [[V8]] engine. The Kingswood was the station wagon equivalent of the [[Chevrolet Bel Air|Bel Air]] passenger car series, as was the [[Chevrolet Parkwood|Parkwood]], but was a three-seat model whereas the Parkwood was a two-seat model. Both were a step above the lowest-priced Chevrolet wagon, the [[Chevrolet Brookwood|Brookwood]], but not as luxurious as the top-of-the-line [[Chevrolet Nomad|Nomad]].
| |
| | |
| From 1969 to 1972, the Kingswood's passenger car equivalent was the [[Chevrolet Impala#1958.E2.80.931972|Impala]], and was available only with a [[V8]]. It was considered a little more deluxe than the [[Chevrolet Townsman]] and [[Chevrolet Brookwood]], but lacked the exterior woodgrain paneling of the top-line [[Chevrolet Kingswood Estate|Kingswood Estate]]. Throughout this period, the Kingswood was available in both two- and three-seat models; in 1969 and 1970, a power rear window was standard equipment for the latter, optional for the former. In 1971 and 1972, the power rear window was standard for both models.

| Midway through the 1971 model year, TurboHydraMatic transmission was added to the standard equipment list, eliminating the outdated three-speed manual transmission. TurboHydraMatic had been ordered on virtually every Kingswood built during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

| | |
| | |
| For 1973, Chevrolet eliminated the Kingswood Estate/Kingswood, and their sister nameplates Townsman and Brookwood designations for its full-sized station wagons. With the Belair,Impala, and Caprice nameplates again becoming dominant on station wagon models.. The Belair nameplate would drop out in 1975, and the Impala Sedan/Wagon nameplate would continue until it was dropped after the 1985 model year(With the name returning only in Sedan Form in 1994).
