Oh the good old days!

My Dad bought new, a '69 Buick Sportwagon. 3rd row forward seating, 400 V8 !!

Even back then I thought it was a cool car. The biggest GM screw up was it had 4-wheel drum brakes!!

Ours was a silver color.

We had the same one! I just remember loving to sit up front in the beach between my parents. My dad would let me steer from there sometimes, lol.

Didn’t the third row seats fold out from the floor? I also remember the AC was ice cold.

Good idea...... Call the older stuff "R12's"

( Just like this emoji... an R12 )

My family had the 1966 Sport Wagon just like this one. My mother loved that super easy, no road feel power steering and the boat-like ride the suspension produced. Only cool thing for me was the moon roof.

My friend's parents had this 1967 International TravelAll....... I sat in the "way back" seat.

Precursor to what we drive....

Kind of looks like an old Suburban.

Funny! My parents had a TravelAll briefly around '64 or '65. Believe it was a '62. Same body style but with the quad headlights and egg-crate grille, dark green with a white hood and roof. I remember the under-dash A/C vents looked like two wasp nests to me at 4 or 5 years old. I think they went through at least 6 station wagons between '65 and '72 including a '63 Ford Galaxie, '64 Chevelle, '66 Impala, '66 Ford Fairlane 390, and the aforementioned '66 Buick Sportwagon and TravelAll. Guess 5 kids are ******* cars.

In 30years custom cruiser will still be running, the 2016 suburban will not be.

P.S. - I still have my 94 Buick Roadmaster Wagon w/LT1
