One time I went to the u-Haul website and "accidently" clicked on a Concord Sedan. I then proptly called customer service and explained my dillemma...they said, no that is a different car....I wonder if you go into an actual store and explain to a real human being that it is the same car if they would order it for you......

I like to to tell people my Eagle is like a Ferrari. It's quirky, tempermental, border-line exotic, and something you don't see everyday.  See? Makes perfect sense....

Sedan is different than wagon.

The frame is just different enough between wagon and sedan that the OEM holes don't line up. The Class1 and Class2 bolt on the back around the bumper but Class3 goes forward more on the frame.

I sent them an email and was ballparked at $400 with no mention of install charge. I think upgrading this car at this rate will take me well into "expensive hobby" territory. I guess it's time to learn how to weld!
