I like station wagons.
My family has never owned a station wagon.

Today we pretend like we no longer have station wagons. But we're up to our eyeballs in what we now call SUVs. Back in the day, the army Jeep was an SUV. Wagons were wagons, whether based on car chassis, or installed on truck chassis like this International Harvester.

The Kingdom of God has come upon you. -- Matthew 12:28
A Gran Torino Square, er, I mean Squire? Starsky and Hutch meet the Brady Bunch? Kind of a cramped third seat, but better than even the full size Shovrolets.
Dad always went full sized, until the gas crunch. I learned to drive in a Country Square.

Did they all have third row seats? Did you ever try to seat adults in any of them? Did that work in anything but the Polara?
Did the Safari's tailgate ever break down halfway closed? I saw that happen to a GM wagon owner once, though I was too little to remember which of the four brands it was.

Why 1971-76 full sized GM wagons had useless third seats (or virtually no under floor storage)--and a major weight problem.
The fifteen seconds that process takes doesn't seem like much, until a rainy day.
