Cool topic on Jalopnik - "What is the coolest Station Wagon?"

There are a lot of great looking wagons out there, but my vote would be any of the '55 to '57 Chevy Nomad and Pontiac Safari Wagons. My second pick would probably be a Woody Wagon. I especially like the '38 Pontiac Woody that I posted a link to a while back. Ford made some great looking Woodys too. My Dad had a '41 and a '47.

I'm with Silverfox on the Exner Mopars. Even the Russians liked them in 1959!

Yes, KK.... been awhile and still waiting for mine.

As far as the extra cars...

"But, baby, I will be able to buy oil and filters in bulk! Spark plugs by the case! Drums of wax and solvents... and think of the effect we will have on the economy! People will go back to work, the happiness that will prevail..."

 

The forward look Exner cars are all so great, I could go on and on about Desotos and Dodges...

Tho not Exner era, here's a couple Chryslers that look pretty good too...

That has never worked for me.

 

So far, me neither, but I am hopeful that since she has "aged" a tad she may be slipping a bit. Not likely, but worth the try. There's a gorgeous little first series Vega wagon, done up to look stock but suspension all hi-perf, 5 speed, etc, for sale. Has been for sale for a long time and the price is now half what it started at. That bronze/gold color I so liked. I'm going to put it on my Christmas wish list and who knows, maybe the family pet will "surprise" me. How could the DW be mad at her fur-kid? The trick is, how to spend the loot without "she who does all the banking " knowing. This may be an insurmoutable issue for a critter with no thumbs to deal with.

 

Write her a "She owes U" and she'll write a cheque from the cookie jar account?
