History When did Wagons become Cool Customs?

My '61 Parkwood that I recently gave to my daugher and SIL.

 

They became cool when we started surfing in the 60's. I had a '57 Ranch Wagon in high school but always wanted a woodie.... been driving this one since '94.

 

After owning 6 1964 Oldsmobile's in various body styles, Next one is going to be a wagon, but they are so hard to find for sale. Prices have gone through the(long)roof.

 

Here is my Bro (MrTomatoHead) and his ‘55 Ford “Sophie”
He drives it everywhere. Become a super fun family Truckster

Growing up my parents always owned wagons and the one I loved the most was the '57 Buick Caballero hardtop.



And that's why I previously owned these three. '70 Chevelle was the wife's daily driver. '58 Yeoman was my daily driver and the '56 Nomad was strictly for cruising.

 

My favorite custom wagon of all time. Plus it was a local car!

More lowrider/gasser to me with the visor, roof rack, headlight shades and all trim, then with the front height probably a straight axle plus fenderwell headers. A very confused car
