    The appeal of the station wagon to auto enthusiasts is kind of a hard thing to grasp. I mean they’re not generally very engaging to drive – yes, S4 Avant owners, I see your looks of incredulity – and they certainly aren’t going to get you noticed pulling into the parking lot at the local pick-up parlor. Still, we all love the longroof. Perhaps it stems from an early memory, a desire to return to an era when troubles were minor, and all our moms drove station wagons. Maybe it was Oedipus who wrecked us for our appreciation of such suburban standards.

    Whatever the reason, we appreciate the form in the same way we might that of Kate Upton, or perhaps Channing Tatum, if that’s your preference. And while it’s one thing to fulfill the wagon fantasy and actually own one, it’s a whole ‘nother ball of awesome to have one that no one else does.

    That’s what we’re interested in today, one-off wagons. If you consider cars such as the Lynx Eventer shooting brake, or that weird de Tomaso Deauville wagon that we saw a while back, there are a ton of oddball one-off wagons that have been built over the years. It may have been a factory show car, or a coach-built beauty commissioned by a wealthy individual with his own Oedipal issues. Whatever it was, what do you think is the most desirable one-off wagon ever built?

    In 1968 my Dads friend moved to Europe leaving behind a stack of Car & Driver magazines he gave to the family. I loved reading the article and the pictures inspired me to draw cool machines with lots of pipes!
    So... one of those mags in the stack was this Mustang. That issue became my favorite and I think I still have it somewhere.
    But I always thought that that wagon was way neater than the 64 Rambler we were currently driving.

    Always thought the 928s all looked like Pacers with an accent. If one had to go with a water cooled Porsche the 944 was much more attractive.
