We had a ‘66 Country Sedan with a 352 V8.

The rear door was also hinged at the left side, to open like a passenger door.

My parents took 10 kids and a babysitter on a 2400-mile (round trip) to Disneyland one summer. And we all survived.

And picking up not one, but two, 50-lb bags of potatoes directly after Sunday Mass was an adventure.

And I drove as the family “school bus” with 4 of us in high school and 6 in grade school. The 2 youngest weren’t in school at that time.

Although GM had other versions of the "Nomad", other than Chevy (ie, the Pontiac Safari and Oldsmobile Fiesta), I'm not sure if the other GM, Buick, had one. The closest thing I could find to it was this somewhat 'sporty' 4-door wagon...

1967 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser Station Wagon

Like in that 70s show.

You could literally cruise the vista in that, said Red Foreman after eating special brownies.

The middle one, I later realized, was a different year than the top and bottom ones.

Thanks, but that car may be very well engineered and quick, but I wouldn't be caught dead in it. IMO, it's one of the ugliest cars ever built. If I won one in a sweepstakes I would immediately sell it and buy a many times cooler American muscle car.
