In 1979 my mom drove 1976 ford LTD Station wagon. I saw the tv shoe and started calling it the Battlestar.
shoe = show
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.
God those LTD wagons
LTD, right
Limited to the number they could crank out as fast as possible
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.
That is funny.
Since the front of the beetle was hollow/trunk “frunk”, i bet they had some damage.
It got a bit shorter.
Lol! As far as station wagons go, I also liked the Olds Vista with the Greyhound Bus-like roof windows!
Probably still ran though. Engine in the pooper.
One of my aunts or uncles had one in the early 70s.
I think they built some 421, manual trans, Station Wagons.
I jumped a 1971 town and country wagon, my friend said ‘that wasn’t so bad, can we do it again’ then we hit the ground
Broke steering arm and oil pan
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.”
