hi everyone, i was born and raised a station wagon guy; my grandparents had an old woodie (i'll post pics if you're interested), and we had a volvo, toyota and dodge aspen in the 1970s. i have always loved wagons and have been driving a 1998 mercedes c240 for the past 8 years. it's our family war wagon. i also have a 1957 chevy wagon but will soon part with that. in the non-wagon part of my life i also have a 1958 Porsche Speedster which shares the daily driving duties with the benz six months a year. when the speedster is off the road we have an 87 911 cab that takes over. thanks for having me. and long live the trusty wagon!
Welcome aboard! Post some pics if you have a chance, and you may find a buyer for your '57 on this forum!
town and country thanks. here are two photos i have of my grandmother's old car. i believe it was a 1941 town and country. after serving as the family farm car for about 20 years it sat in a garage in maine throughout my childhood. these photos of it were taken in that garage. i used to sit at the wheel and pretend to drive it, making "engine noises" by raking the shifter back and forth. (not good) my aunt finally sold it in the 1980s for $100. (really not good)
Welcome welcome. We also had wagons when I was a kid, nothing cool as Woody. Enjoy the forum, pretty new here myself.
thank you thank you for the kind welcome, guys. i'll never forget an article in the paper back in the 1990s minivan boom years proclaiming the wagon dead and buried. i didn't believe it for a second and as i was registering for this forum yesterday i was happy to see they'd been dead wrong. i can't imagine my life without a wagon, even when i was young and single and broke i had one. have a great day.
Actually, that wagon appears to be a 46-48 Plymouth wagon. Thats my favorite woody wagon. It was certainly worth alot more that the $100. But, if it had been a 41 Town and Country, then even in that condition, it would likely have been worth more than your Porsche.
