It's hard to argue with their reasoning. It's even brown.

I watched that with no sound and it made me think the car was possessed.

I can only be jealous of the kids that got to ride around in all that luxury.  My childhood was spent in far more modest automobiles.

The 70s were so cool.  You could just check off boxes and viola your own car spec.  Reportedly there were 6 Oldsmobile wagons made with the 4-4-2 option.  If you can make anything cooler than that......

A buddy used to drive his fathers big block wagon and dust off Camaro's  & Mustangs at stoplight GPs. 

One fo the rally guys had an LTD wagon has a tow vehicle; unfortunately it was totaled when a pair of cross dressers slammed into with their car as they were running from the police (life is stranger than fiction)

A turd of epic proportion.

My best memory of one of those cars was when I was doing an in car re-ring on a big block oil burner under warranty.

While trying to pry a piston out with a long skinny screw driver (in hindsight a poor choice) under the top ring, it slipped off and went in to the webbing of my other hand between the first and second finger, in about three inches almost to my wrist. As bad as that was, it was still better than driving one of those awful things.

I'm sure we had one of those. In '71 I was 4 but was the fourth kid so my parents were already wagon owners before I arrived. Many, many fond road trip memories in Ford wagons.

I grew up with a dark green Pontiac station wagon. Eventually, it was changed out for a Caprice. We never had one with the seats in the way back though.
