I recall this being my late father's dream car at the time. Unfortunately, for one reason or another, he was unable to purchase one. Would have been great for our family. 4 boys. I was the youngest, at 8 in 1965. But I think it was actually a bit later in the 60s that he was considering one. They still basically looked the same with the double vertical headlights, which reminded me of a GTO!

In 1979 my mom drove 1976 ford LTD Station wagon. I saw the tv shoe and started calling it the Battlestar.

We all know Bobby and Sue wouldn’t be sitting facing each other and playing quietly.
“Mom, Sue touched me!”
“Sue, Stop THAT!”
“Mom, Bobby punched me!”
“Bobby, now you stop that or I’ll have your father stop this car, young man!”

Ford made cool wagons. Even Dean Martin’s spy character, Matt Helm, had a tricked out Mercury station wagon as his spy car rather than a sports car.

As a Kid, we had a ‘57, ‘62 and then a ‘64 Ford s/w.
Much later I had an ‘82 Econoline [still on hand].
Then an Escort s/w [long gone].
Now I have a plethora of VW Jetta/Golf Turbo, m/t S/Ws.
Hopefully enough to last a lifetime.

It was frakking huge. We were rear ended by a VW bug and it did no damage.
To: ARGLOCKGUY
That is funny.
Since the front of the beetle was hollow/trunk “frunk”, i bet they had some damage.

Probably still ran though. Engine in the pooper.
One of my aunts or uncles had one in the early 70s.

I had this style of facing rear seats a long time ago. Didn't have kids at the time.

I think they built some 421, manual trans, Station Wagons.

A friend of mine in HS family car was a ‘66 Ford wagon nicknamed “The Station Weapon.” Another friend had a Galaxie 500 that was called “BattleFord Galaxia.”
Our ‘63 Ford was just “the station wagon.”
