Nostalgia & History > Interesting article about the Vert-A-Pac and the VegaDate: 10/18/12 16:46 Interesting article about the Vert-A-Pac and the Vega Author: davew833 Date: 10/18/12 17:12 Re: Interesting article about the Vert-A-Pac and the Ve Author: Steamjocky There was an article in the SP Historical Society magazine TRAINLINE a while back on the Vert-A-Pac cars. The current issue has an article about the Stac-Pac cars for Cadillacs.

Always like to see that, out there in the wide open web spaces! Especially when cross-discipline postings (about rail stuff by car enthusiasts, for example) so often contain inaccuracies that get chuckles from the buffs.

I bought my Vega when I lived in Illinois, so it probably arrived at the dealers on a plain old truck. And for the curious, I did not have any of the typical Vega problesms, such as those with the aluminum block, but the QC on trim and such was miserable.
