"twin facing rear seats"

Ah, yes... Our vacation (in the back seat) was different from the rest of the family.
"Gosh, I wonder what all those signs say?"
"That man has been staring at us for 150 miles."
"The air conditioning doesn't reach back here!"
(and when you rolled down the window the exhaust would get pulled in)

Good times.

Sure,

What happens when three of the four tailgate locators are released?

My aunt and uncle had 2 wagons. Probably a 1970 and 1976. My cousin had to drive it on Saturday night in the early 1980s. Riding in the back seats of the 70 one was cool.

With my 2 brothers and 4 sisters, the 9 of us would jump in our Chevrolet station wagon and, when we could afford it, off to the A & W Drive-in we would go! All of the windows were halfway down so the food trays could hold the food. Oh!! What fun!! Mama Burgers, Papa Burgers, milkshakes, and A GAZILLION French Fries! There were French Fries every where inside the car.

Our father fought in WWII, Korea and Vietnam as a pilot. Thank God he survived it all.

We had a 68 Pontiac Safari 9 passenger station wagon. It had a 428 V-8 that only ran on premium gas.

The woman is a blond.

The car is an ELECTRIC-Powered Tesla!

For family haulers, the station wagons of the 1960s were pretty cool but the really cool station wagons were the two-door wagons from the 1950s: Chevrolet Nomads, Ford Couriers, and Pontiac Safaris. Personally, I’d rather have a Chevrolet Nomad than any Chevrolet Bel Air from that era or a Ford Courier instead of any Ford Fairlane from that era (including a Crown Vic), and a Pontiac Safari instead of any Pontiac Chieftain from that era and all those sedans are sweet, sweet cars but the wagons are just so much cooler in my opinion.

When I left Officer Basic at Ft McClellan in 1983 I drove home in an Olds Cutlass Diesel that I bought from my folks for a song. My soon to be ex was thrilled with it and just had to drive it and show her friends, one of whom put unleaded gas in it. It was a good car up to that point. I let her have it in the divorce the next year.

Guy in my old neighborhood used to sell cars he got from Reedman in Langhorn. He’d sell ‘em on the street. One morning on my way to the subway I saw one of these with his For Sale sign in it. Every single piece of glass in it was smashed!!!
I guess a previous customer of his was not very happy.

I’m with you. I still look up the Courier sedan deliveries every couple of weeks in Hemmings. I remember when I was drag racing a 57 McCulloch supercharged Courier held the national record in it’s class.

Heh. My dad didn’t bother to stop. He just turned halfway and smacked everyone and turned back around.

My pops had one of those rear facing seat station wagons. When I sat in the back as I remember... I’d put a match box car on a string and hold it out the back window watching it roll. Fun times.
