If you're just getting out of the wagon after parallel parking it, nice job!

I have a 1929, a 1937, and a 1940. Plus a Econoline it's sort of a wagon.

Yes, great thread and many great images!!

Parents had 3 over the years (they were all GM stuff).

I really like them, my daily driver is a station wagon, has been for the past 19 years.

"Shelby73" really like that '40 Woody!  ^^^

thanks every one for posting ! I'm glad it has triggered a lot of personal memories from the past and present. 

Here's a couple more.

Image with the fire truck is I believe a Ford ad ? They made the cars wider and longer than they really were in those illustrations.

That truck driver must have known the locomotive driver   of the train-wreck Shelbys.

"What'd that sign say?  Slow down?"        "Why?  I'm making good time."

When I think of Ford station wagons it reminds me of my first job out of school as a Ford service rep in the 70's.   The local paper, the Milwaukee Journal, published the Ford "secret" extended warranty for rust repair and overnight I had cars "lined up around the block" at every dealership in the city.  Many of them were wagons that suffered the indignity of having their spare tires fall through the rusted body.  A company man, my toughest (and dumbest) claim denial was to Miss Wisconsin in makeup and heels.  LOL

My dad bought a used 1958 Mercury Commuter wagon around 1964. It had the 312 Y block V8. As I recall it only liked premium fuel and was pretty thirsty while not being very powerful. Ours was pink / white two tone with factory AC. Ours was a four door hardtop.

great stories and photos on this thread... love those [real wood] Woodies 

referring back to my pix... the on-street parking in Philly could be "challenging" ... I do not miss that, and probably can't take credit for getting into that tight spot.
My Dad always said that folks would "park by ear" (these were the days of steel bumpers)... I'm sure you can understand.

That '72 Torino was a thirsty one... IIRC, we were getting 12 to 13 mpg, and we had that car during the 70's gas crisis ($$ ouch)
