Does it fit a 1965 Impala station wagon?
The Golden Star listing identifies the application as a 1965 Chevrolet Impala. Verify the exact body style before ordering, especially for station wagon applications, because related 1965 full-size reproduction braces may specifically exclude station wagons.
