45. We always had a station wagon when I was growing up.

Dec 2025

There were seven kids and my parents and that's the only vehicle that would hold us all. We even had an Edsel station wagon and one time we had a funeral car. It had kneelers that folded down in the middle seat and we used to fight over who was going to get those seats. They were always used cars as we were poor. My parents never had a new car or two cars.
