Identifying Features (Exterior)
Kingswood Estate
The Kingswood Estate was the top of the line wagon, equal to Caprice. It wore a unique side-chrome treatment, was often decked out in simulated wood grain trim, and was often loaded with all the luxury features you would expect with Caprice. This wagon carried the 6 tail light theme of Impala and Caprice, and Caprice's clear white turn signal lenses instead of the orange ones used on all other full size models. Kingswood Estate could only be bought only with a V-8. A third reverse-facing rear seat was optional making room for 9 passengers. "Chevrolet" was written in bold script across the width of the hood. Hide away headlights were also available on the Kingswood Estate. Finally, an emblem with crossed flags appeared only on 427 powered Kingswood Estate models just behind the front side marker lights.

Kingswood 
Like the Impala, Kingswood was second from the "top of the line". Kingswood shared Impala's narrow side trim which extended from the front bumper to the rear, and had a colored insert. It also wore the narrow "spear" like trim on the rocker panels shared by Impala and Biscayne. The 6 tail light theme was extended to this wagon in keeping with Impala tradition, and the "Chevrolet" script was present across the width of the hood as with the Impala and Caprice. Hide away headlights were not available, as they were limited to Caprice and Kingswood Estate models. As with the Kingswood Estate, an optional third rear seat was available giving room for 9 passengers, and only 8 cylinder engines could be ordered.

Townsman
Bel Air's equivalent wagon was the Townsman, and this was clearly evident in the exterior trim. Like the Bel Air an narrow strip of chrome (with no colored insert) ran the full length of the car from front bumper to rear, but no trim whatsoever was present on the rocker panels. There was no chrome trim around the wheel wells, and the "Chevrolet" script that spans the width of the hood on Kingswood and Kingswood Estate models was merely a small insignia appearing on the left most corner of the hood. In keeping with the tail light scheme of Bel Air, Townsman only had 4 tail lights instead of 6. As with Kingswood and Kingswood Estate, Townsman had the optional 3rd seat to accommodate 9 passengers but could also be bought with a 6 cylinder as well as a V-8.

Brookwood
Brookwood was equal to Biscayne in the wagon line-up. Just like Townsman it was devoid of most trim except for the narrow rocket panel trim shared by Impala. It maintained the 4 tail light theme of Biscayne, and could be bought with either a 6 cylinder or a V-8, but the optional third seat was not available on Brookwood. This was simply the entry-level full size wagon.
