Finally - someone who posts the reason why many of us wanted a station wagon.
(nudge, nudge, wink, wink)

The backs of station wagons were, after all, much roomier than the back seat of a sedan.

That Studebaker is very cool. You can see that the SUV's of today are just piggish versions of yesteryears' station wagons. IMO, station wagons >> SUVs.

I owned *THAT* car (except burnt orange) my sophomore year of college. Bought it from the original owner, a surgeon that worked with my mom, for $225 with over 200K miles.

That 455 cu in 4bbl V8 would make that pig MOVE.... in a straight line.

I didn't drive it much. The only reason I had that car was to call it my primary vehicle so I could insure my Porsche 944 Turbo under my mother's name :D

We had this exact model growing up. You could spin the rear tires right off of it.

Ya gotta look for it

Hey, where did you see this one, I saw it at the Marriott in Dana Point, post 113.

It was in the Claremont Village a couple of years ago and I stopped to talk to the owner.

I once owned a 70's Volvo Station wagon and a 80's Volvo station wagon. My favorite though was my Peugeot 505 turbo wagon that the ex got in the deeevorce
