    I've only had a couple of wagons over the years
    1969 Chevy Impala Wagon
    1973 Pontiac Bonneville Wagon
    1973 Oldsmobile wagon
    AMC Pacer wagon

    The Pacer was great and at times I wish I still had it.
    Pretty decent gas mileage and the front seats were really comfortable.
    And my current wagon-1997 Subaru Legacy Brighton wagon.

    I've only owned one, but grew up with wagons all through my childhood:

    Mine was a 1975 Chevrolet Caprice Estate, with third row seat, 400 engine, nicely equipped; sold to another forum member here a couple of years ago.

    My dad's were:
    1969 (?) Chevrolet Greenbrier (I've only seen pics of this one)
    1972 Chevrolet Impala wagon (blue/blue and the first one I can remember)
    1976 Chevrolet Caprice Estate, burgundy with tan interior, six seater, otherwise heavily optioned
    1983 Chevrolet Caprice Estate, grey exterior with dark brown interior, third row seat and heavily optioned. This was his last wagon. By the time this one retired (1991), my sister and I were in college so he started buying full size sedans (Pontiac then Buicks). It was in this wagon I learned how to drive. (y)

    Those are just the wagons! :D

    Currently have a '66 GTO, '69 Lemans 'vert, 1970 Tempest and a '77 Bonneville to go along with the '69 Bonneville wagon.

    Of course, the wagon gets the most attention out of all of them!:yup:

    Three.

    1. 1978 Fairmont wagon - 302 V8 with C4 auto trans. Went through hell to get her to be reliable and pass smog. Then the body rusted out and cracked the windshield.

    2. Another '78 Wagon I bought to transfer the rebuilt engine, trans and stuff into until I determined the front end had been hit pretty bad. Gave it up for scrap.

    3. 1982 Cougar Wagon. A friend I knew from work offered it to me for an outrageously good deal so I bought it. It failed smog and he didn't want to deal with it anymore so I hoped to toss the 3.8L V6 and throw in a 5.0L V8 from my '89 Mustang and convert the wagon to SEFI 5.0L. Buttttt some stuff happened and now it's a near gutted shell. But I will get the rust fixed and it will get a SEFI 5.0L V8... and a 5 speed... and a modified front K-member... and a 5-lug conversion... and a 2003 Cobra IRS. Project creep is a beech!

    I went way back and checked my earlier post here. I haven't had many station wagons but I did forget one. :slap:
    Actually I didn't forget. I was gifted with the mentality to block bad memories.:yup:
    Therefore I don't even remember the year of the blue VW squareback I once accidently owned. :oops::oops:

    So the answer would be one to many!
