The wagon appreciation thread

I realize I'm still bitter that my parents replaced mom's Panther Country Squire a year before I had my permit with an Acclaim.

I'm glad to see there is love for the W124. I love my 300TD - best beater I could ever ask for!

I really...REALLY want one of these. I used to get a fizzy sensation in my gentleman sausage when I looked at it.

But then I saw this..

My favorite vintage of Mercedes

My old daily. I regret selling this every day.

With 9s that don't fit that well:

The Detroit auto show had a few of the Guilia sedans. They were dead sexy. But this would be my choice.

I wanted one of these sooooo bad- in this exact color even.

I was practically giving this thing away when I had it for sale on here 4 years ago :(

It's funny, when these were available I didn't think much of them, but not when I see one I really dig it!

More forbidden fruit...

Falcon XR6 Wagon!

Oh boy !

That thing is AWESOME ! LOVE the stance. It's pretty close to my (realistic) daily driver Dream Car. Make mine a white 1995 (new instrument cluster, no moving seat belts) and then tint the windows.....Perfection !! ! !....... Oh give me a minute while I wipe the slober away..... DROOL !

p.s. I dig the front plate there too, wink.

Moar SW2 awesomeness

Is the straight angled one the newer or older SW2? Bottom pic above...

If only both of these were a real thing.

I love wagons. Always have. When I moved to Colorado and lived at 8500 ft, I bought a VW Quantum Syncro Wagon - very similar to the Audi 4000 Quattro. Locking center and rear diffs, I added stiffer (but not lower) suspension, custom exhaust and opened intake, etc. Little stuff. Car was awesome and unstoppable in the snow. I routinely drove it on trails in the woods pushing snow up and over the hood. Ended up owning about 4 of these panzer-wagens.

Later, I bought a 1979 Audi Fox Automatic Wagon. Did a close-ratio 5 speed swap, custom lowered suspension, custom exhaust, vintage striped Recaro seats, bigger brakes etc. Awesomely fun little car.

Also built a 1988 VW Fox 2dr wagon. Same basic recipe - lowered, stiffer, bigger brakes, lightened flywheel, short shifter, Recaro, cam, exhaust, intake, etc. Great fun car that had lots of utility, and more thumbs up than any Rabbit I've ever owned (like 15 of them).

I used to have one of these. Aussie Chrysler valiant cm wagon, I'll have to go digging to see if I can find any photos.

A little late to the party, but this 1964 Buick Special wagon is amazing

Also, I don't know why, I've always thought that 5th-gen Accord wagons are pretty slick

could have sent us this

but no - we get this
