My mom had a 73 Olds Custom Cruiser. It was a massive beast.
Our church had a broken window. They asked a friend and o to replace it. He forgot the key so since the window was broken anyway, we eighteen year old geniuses backed the wagon up to the window and jumped on the roof to climb into the church.
As my friend was most of the way inside, suddenly cops converged from all directions. The entire department showed up.
We managed to talk our way out of it.
My dad always had a station wagon. The one I remember the most and drove for hunting and fishing was a Kingswood Estate - probably 1974 or so. I know it had the 454 engine in it. Had the clam shell back end.
Fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood, or sleep me and a buddy and our gear.
The youtube Matt’s Offroad Recovery just did the “Cannon Ball Run” using a 1993 Buick Roadmaster that he bought for $4,000 when he got to the east coast. (”It’s always fun to do the test drive after you buy the car”.) They named it “Aunt Edna”.
