Station Wagons

1990 Volkswagen Fox Wagon Project

Volkswagen Foxes are perfectly quirky. The cars were allegedly manufactured by Volkswagen Brazil and were sold in North America from 1987 to 1991. They were offered as 2-door and 4-door sedans as well as wagons. The example at hand… more»

Real Barn Find: 1967 Chevrolet Impala Station Wagon

The Chevrolet Impala was one of the more popular family cars during the period this one was produced, and going with the wagon was a smart choice if you had lots of kids.  However, this 1967 Chevrolet Impala Station… more»

Ever Seen One? 1956 Ford Fairlane Ambulance

Most vintage ambulances and hearses that pop up here on Barn Finds are usually customized Cadillacs and other high-end vehicles. This 1956 example is the first time I’ve seen one as a Ford Fairlane (or more appropriately a Country… more»

Orange Everywhere! 1978 Ford Pinto Wagon

We’ve been seeing a lot of Ford Pintos lately. Has it become the collector’s car of the year? Or is it just a plain coincidence? I’d go with the latter since out of the three million built more than… more»

24k Original Miles: 1973 Ford Pinto Station Wagon

The Ford Pinto was often criticized due to issues suffered by early vehicles. They were viewed as disposable items, and many found their way to scrapyards decades ago. However, this 1973 Station Wagon is a genuine survivor that has… more»

84k Original Miles: 1985 AMC Eagle Limited Wagon

The AMC Eagle was a ground-breaking vehicle that offered owners a sure-footed driving experience, courtesy of its all-wheel-drive configuration. They have demonstrated excellent lasting power, and we’ve seen a few cross our desks over the years at Barn Finds…. more»

For Sale Again: Unusual 1975 Citroen Ami 8

Talk about odd, here’s one for you, a 1975 Citroen Ami station wagon. And if you think you’ve seen it before, you have. My colleague, Scotty Gilbertson covered this car back in 2018 and it has now surfaced for… more»

Single-Family-Owned 1953 Mercury Monterey Woody Wagon

The 1953 Mercury Monterey Woody Wagon was the first wood-paneled station wagon Mercury produced, making it relatively collectible. The cars have a totally beachy vibe, and the way this example was styled exaggerates that. It’s easy to imagine this… more»

Original Paint: 1983 AMC Eagle Limited Wagon

I have long admired AMC because it was a genuine battler. The company produced a range of interesting and innovative vehicles on a budget that was, to be kind, extremely tight. This 1983 Eagle Limited Wagon is a perfect… more»

1966 Chevrolet Caprice Wagon 396 V8

Literally a fancy Impala, the Chevy Caprice snuck onto the market halfway through 1965 as a higher trim level car than the Impala. A friend from high school had a 1965 sedan in white with a blue top and… more»

1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Cruiser 455 V8

Looking great in a color that I believe is Chamois Gold, and having been repainted six years ago (and apparently debadged, unfortunately) this car is listed as a 1973 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser, but I believe it’s a Cutlass Supreme… more»

Rare Estate Wagon: 1959 Humber Super Snipe

I grew up in the 1960s and was mildly familiar with the Humber automobile, but I don’t ever recall seeing anything named the Super Snipe. Turns out it was a higher-end car built between 1938 and 1967 by the… more»

Only 18k Miles? Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser

The ’86 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser was the last V8-powered Oldsmobile in their lineup. Its big wagon body requires a little more power than its poor petite V6-powered cousin. These wagons were designed with style and luxury in mind and… more»

4×4 Wagon: 1985 Toyota Tercel

Toyota’s Tercel wagon is collecting fans year by year, so if you’ve ever had a yen to own a usable 80s icon, better put this one on your shopping list. It’s not even an expensive proposition – yet. This… more»

Ex Police Paddy Wagon: 1959 Chevrolet Apache

If I looked in my rearview mirror today and saw this 1959 Chevrolet Apache coming up behind me, I’d instantly be intrigued and hope we’d pull up alongside each other at a red light so I could get the… more»

28k Miles: 1986 Chevrolet Caprice Estate Wagon

GM downsized its full-size cars in 1977 to be more fuel efficient by way of lower weight and smaller engines. This generation (1977 to 1991) of the Chevy Caprice would remain popular, including the Estate Wagon, which was akin… more»
