Station Wagons
Solid Wagon: 1962 Pontiac Bonneville Safari

Highly Original: 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad Project
In their three years of production, the buying public never really warmed up to Chevrolet’s Luxurious Sport Wagon “experiment.” In total, only 22,375 Nomads were sold for the 1955, 1956, and 1957 model years. It was probably a combination… more»
Final Edition: 1990 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser
I have long lamented the demise of the domestic Station Wagon. However, with buyers focusing on Vans and SUVs, it simply didn’t make economic sense for manufacturers to develop and produce what quickly became a niche vehicle. This 1990… more»
Porsche Powered: VW/Porsche T3 B32 Caravelle
We talk about the concept of “factory hot rods” every now and again, such as with this recent Ford Taurus SHO entry. One of the ways the waters tend to get muddied is when a vehicle is modified so… more»
Patinamod? 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad
The Chevy Nomad was a Sport Wagon built between 1955 and 1957. It carried Bel Air trim and shared little key sheet metal with other 2-door wagons from the doors back. It was based on a 1954 Corvette show… more»
Vanning Roots: 1977 Ford Pinto Cruising Wagon

No Reserve: Rare 1958 Studebaker Commander Provincial

41k Original Miles: 1960 Pontiac Catalina Safari Wagon
We’ve recently seen a few nice seven-seat Station Wagons at Barn Finds, and this 1960 Pontiac Catalina Safari continues that theme. The seller admits it isn’t perfect, but it is a dry-climate survivor that has avoided the rust problems… more»
Muscle Wagon: 1966 Chrysler Town & Country 440
Classic Station Wagons often force owners to compromise between practicality and performance. However, this 1966 Chrysler Town and Country is an uncompromising Muscle Wagon. Its original 440ci V8 provides plenty of power for the driver, while the third-row seating… more»
Game Table Equipped: 1993 Volkswagen EuroVan
The Volkswagen Eurovan is one of the hidden heroes on the enthusiast car circuit, and I say that as a former owner of a 2003 model. When minivans went from being seen as incredibly useful to incredibly lame, the… more»
Price Dropped! 1977 Chevrolet Malibu Classic Wagon
UPDATE 06/06/2024: Some sellers are more motivated than others when the time comes to part with their classic. Around a month has passed since we last saw this 1977 Chevrolet Malibu Classic Wagon, and the price has dropped dramatically…. more»
Euro Wagon: 1983 Mercedes-Benz 280TE
Regarding European-market wagons, the Mercedes-Benz W123 is perhaps the best-recognized model line. There’s good reason for this, as their dependability is through the roof (for a European brand, at least), and it’s still a handsome design even today. That… more»
