1. We had a Buick when I was growing up

That station wagon was transportation, freedom and a portable hotel room for me!

[Tree-Hugger]

2. We had one

Two, actually. Oldsmobile. All white with tan leather seats that would burn your thighs in the summer. I loved sitting way in the back. I'd never let my kids do it nowadays.

3. I drove a 1962 Oldsmobile station wagon across country to California. White red interior

I used to call it the air mobile after the Chuck Berry song

4. Wally World, here we come!

[gratuitous]

5. A Lincoln? Overpriced

The Ford LTD station wagon was a monster, and far less expensive.

6. My folks had one of these.

1973 Chevy Caprice Estate Wagon:



And a 1967 Chevy Caprice Wagon similar to this:

8. We had one very similar to the top photo. So many family road trips in that car. nt

9. Ours was chocolate brown.

I remember thinking how cool the back door was as a kid. I think I was about 10 when my folks bought it brand new. They traded the 67 in to get it. It was a good car, but when the gas crunch hit my mom got a VW square back wagon. It was a piece of crap. Then we got a 73 bus. They should have kept the wagon. It was much more reliable, but it was a gas guzzler. We took a bunch of fun road trips in ours too.

7. A Custom Woody Cruiser?

10. Oh, the days when shutting off: vroom chunk clunk, vroom clunk clunk, vroom clunk clunk, BOOM!

.

Let's not forget that sickening sweet smell afterwards, along with the puff of smoke.

Those were the days.

11. I spent some time driving a 1970 Country Squire

"The Shark"



It was green; a couple of years after we got rid of it I saw it again, with two hippies inside.
