The depot hack predates the Model T.
Not mentioning U.S. Body & Forging is ridiculous; that was, after all, the company that first applied the name "Suburban" to a motor vehicle.
Station wagons in those days weren't just, or even predominately, applied to car chassis. Plenty went on light truck chassis. What is called an SUV today was a station wagon through the 70s, it just happened to also be a truck.
Dodge used a Budd all steel body in 1923. The Chrysler Airflow was all steel in 1934. Both predate GM's Turret Tops of '36.
The Town & Country was not more luxurious than the Crown Imperial limousine. They also weren't wagons in '46-'48, though they were woodys.
