In the 1969 and 1970 model years, the Kingswood Estate - like all of Chevrolet's large station wagons - was equipped with a rear door that could be opened either sideways or down. For this, the rear window was sunk. When the door opened sideways, the rear bumper was recessed to facilitate third-party passengers getting in and out of the optional roof rack. If the door was opened downwards, there was a fitting in this recess , which was unlocked when it opened on the side and thus released the door.
