    That is correct it is a Skywagon. I own a 1976 Skywagon 180. The difference is the Skywagon is a taildragger and the Skylane is a nose dragged!

    Beautiful picture, but the airplane appears to be a taildragger so, perhaps, a C-180 or C185 Sky Wagon instead of a Skylane?

      Yes, looks like early C-180, rear window and what appears to be the wide cowl flaps of the 180

    You might check the model. Don’t think skylanes have a wheel in the back.
