How Popular Are Wagons in Your Community?

I never noticed the stretch minivan before. The more we look the more we see. Veeeeery interesting!

 

A couple I spotted recently.

This guy's a bit worse for wear.




I just spotted one by my alley, too, a burgundy Roadie, but it was too dark to get a pic.

 

Well you know when wagons are darn near non existent, when your local tire dealers ask "Ford LTD, never heard of that model SUV" (of course this is after giving them the tire size)

I see two wagons time to time in my area of Cary, Crystal Lake, Fox River Grove, Barrington and Woodstock. One is a tired '87 Mercury Colony Park and the other is a '91-'94 Roadmaster in white, also pretty rusted out. We do honk and wave at one another but I never had the chance to talk to them.

Both my '73 Century and '78 Squire seem to be like vintage rock stars. People above the age of 35 will stop, talk, and/or take pictures no matter where I go.

 

Spotted a maroon Roadie wagon today, as I was leaving the Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, my phone wasn't handy, so I didn't get a pic. Also, I wasn't driving the wagon today, had the Caddy and felt kinda left out of the 'wagon club' lol!

 

Hamilton, Ontario, has always had a bit of a depressed economy, being a steel town and all. It is amazing the number of wagons floating around town. In the last 6 months, though, 2 have disappeared, both victims of rust. The 76 or 77 Colony Park was more rust than metal, and the 98 Taurus lost the bottom of the B-pillar, so was scrapped before it broke in the middle. Other than those two, there are about 8 within a single square mile.
