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.

I didn't know until fairly recently that other GM cars, besides Chevy, had a version of the Nomad...

1957 Pontiac Safari Wagon

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.

Right, the Fords 2-doors were called Ranch Wagons. In 56 they also had the Parklane which was supposed to be the answer to the Nomad.

The Couriers were the Sedan deliveries I believe.
