1966 Mercury Comet Cyclone

Speaking of last Tuesday's Comet, I just couldn't let this one go. Forgive my tiny ADD-driven diversion from our wagon theme. I never had a Cyclone, but it's on my bucket list. Check out this fantastic little infomercial from back in the day!

1961 Mercury Comet Wagon Versus

Everybody knows the 1960-1965 first generation Mercury Comet/Meteor was really just a Ford Falcon. But did you know that "...due to the demise of Edsel, the Comet was initially released without any divisional badging, only Comet badges. It was sold through Mercury dealers, but would not be branded as such for two more years." (Wikipedia)?

Take that, Toonces the Cat!

1989 Mitsubishi-Dodge Colt Wagon

Who knew that this and its successors would end up being virtually the only bright spot in the 2016 Mitsubishi lineup.

2013+ Dacia Logan MCV

What's that you say? You want a wagon built in Morocco or Romania? Here you go!

He seems unhappy about something.

2009+ Proton Exora

Badges? We don’t need no steekin’ badges!

The tiger on the badge is no relation to Tony the Tiger, I'm pretty sure. Don't quote me on that.

1956 Plymouth Plainsman Concept

I don't relate to concept cars, but this one is noteworthy in our exploration of the station wagon.

That's the spare, lowered by a crank. Brilliant.

Remember this Australian-built station wagon?

Throw another sushi shrimp on the barbie...?

Takata Zenyatta Mondatta

You gotta be kidding me.

Kablooey. Dangerous, deadly...but of no concern to owners.

1956-1961 Plymouth Suburban

Please stop having so many children, lady. It's interesting to note that you could walk down the street to the Chevrolet dealer and also buy a Suburban.

Matt Hummel; Finding Yourself in a Porsche 356

Okay, you caught me reminiscing. I didn't have one, my aunt did. I loved that car. She ended up abandoning it in our driveway, where it rotted away. Eventually, some Texan came and bought what was left. I was heartbroken.

Porsche Declares Station Wagons Hip

That's right, they said it. Not me. Never me. No, sir.

They call it a shooting brake. It's a station wagon.

2011+ Peugeot 508 SW

The French maker's best car currently being produced? You decide.

In case you're wondering; no, you can't get any exciting paint colors. Ugh.
