10 Coolest Station Wagons of all time?

I'm partial to the mid '60s Plymouths, '64 and '65 are my favorites. Had six kids in my family, so I grew up with wagons. '63 Chevy, '65 Ford, '68 Ford (my first driver), '73 Chevy (junk). Then dad moved in to Vans.

Built this '66 Belvedere for my son when he was 15- he didn't think it was cool and thought the kids would tease him. It went on Ebay 8 years ago. Wish I had it back.

 

Here's a contender. It's a Woody. It's 4WD. It's rare. It's for sale.

Here's my old wagon
1962 chevy II nova wagon. That I built in to a sedan delivery. Sold it a few years ago.

 

A sedan delivery is not a station wagon. And sedan deliveries are definitely NOT cooler than station wagons.

 

57 Nomad is a bad ass ride

 

Howbout a windowed delivery with a back seat...forest service and USAF had 'em.... ? Believe me, I think wagons are the coolest, just the delivery has that one-piece gate and is rarer than hens' teeth plus the Jr Stocker deliveries were unbelievably cool.

I think it is cool as hell.

 

I dig this one. Just sold for $4900 in Oregon.

 

Sedan deliveries are the evil twin of wagons. I've owned over 50, so I'm next of kin. Take out the side panels and they become wagons.

 

my favorite wagon
1960 invicta 4 in chop custom built flush fit skirts
no door handles chev driveline and lots of other little stuff , leaf rear and
rear bags
disc brakes with camaro spindles reversed
headlights, grill and taiight treatment

 

Hard getting it down to just 10

1957 Pontiac Safari
1954 Chevrolet Corvette Nomad
1947 Cadillac 2 door woody converted from hearse
1959 Cadillac Broadmoor Skyview (someone mentioned a chop, but I think the roof already has a cook rake going)
1958 Mercury Voyager 2 door (a '58 Bermuda 2 door hardtop would be even better)
1958 Buick Caballero
1961 Chrysler Town and Country
1949 Monarch
1950 Buick Roadmaster Estate
1938 Packard

The '61 Tbird and '60 Invicta posted are both pretty cool. I've also seen a cool custom chopped 2 door '63 Chrysler. A 1965 GTO wagon would be fun people hauler as well.

 

Say what??!!! Are you off your rockers??!! Newbombs Pie Wagon defines cool and pictures are worth a thousand words.

 

Sorry mate, don't care what it defines, it ain't a station wagon
Same as tri five Chevies ain't a shoebox
No matter how much they turn you on, facts are facts

Do you realize how stupid this comment sounds ? ... you are confusing fact with preference.


As an example, "I love the look of the '59 grill in this '57! ".... NOT fact, Just preference.... case closed.

 

Fat fender Woodie. Period. It defined "station wagon" and had classic, eternal looks.

Though not a fat fender woodie, here's a pic of my wagon:

OK, certainly not meant to sound stupid, fact is sedan delivery is not a station wagon. A 55-57 Chev is not a shoebox, an A model is not a deuce etc.
Doesn't matter what your preference is a car is a car, a truck is a truck, a sedan delivery is just that and nothing else. It is a body style all of its own What part of the above statement to you find stupid? I notice that you are fortunate enough to own a 59 Chev sedan delivery ........... Still aint a station wagon.
"Case closed", now that's a preference.
Now lets get back on topic and see some pictures of fair dinkum station wagons
Happy days

Here's an old girl of mine !!! Hope someone else is enjoying her

 

In no particular order, these are ten of my favorites:

1) 1946 - 1948 Chrysler Town and Country. Bar none, THE best looking wagon ever built!
2) 1961 Chrysler New Yorker 9-pass hardtop wagon. Fins! Gorgeous!
3) 1956 Pontiac Safari. Nicer than the Chevy Nomad, IMO
4) 1960 Chevy Brookwood two-door.
5) 1955 - 1956 Plymouth Suburban two-door.
6) 1961 - 1964 Chevy
7) 1964 Ford Country Squire
8) 1958 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser
9) 1948 Crosley
10 1948 Ford Deluxe woody

 

If you're into polishing chrome there is no substitute for '61 Chrysler, '59 Mercury or '58 Buick wagons.

 

this 59 Plymouth 2 door -- is the coolest wagon I've ever owned. *it is for sale.
the 60 Olds was a nice car I did up for my daughter last year.

check out the 1959 Plymouth Suburban 2 door on my web "garage sale" page:

The Mo Par 2 door wagons are a favorite of mine nice size and just cool..

 

I am kind of partial to this one

 

"not meant to sound stupid", really? Sounds of chunder!
Have this

 

When I was a kid I regularly heard the tri-5 Chevys referred to as shoeboxes. It actually confused me when I got older and got into this whole traditional/ old school thing and it was used to refer to the Fords. I distinctly remember a classmates t-shirt from around 1981 that had a trio of Chevys and gaudy lettering Shoebox Chevys.
