My Dad bought his last brand-new car in '69. He wanted the Caprice wagon, but the salesman didn't think Dad could afford it, just being a sergeant in the army, and tried to steer him to the Chevelle. But with 5 little kids getting bigger every day, Dad wanted a full-sizer. Imagine that salesman's reaction when my father drove by to show him our new Mercury Colony Park!
@@trudygreer2491 Interesting! Ironically I actually have a Chevelle my grandad purchased 8/12/72. It's a 2 door coupe small block 350 V8. It's not a wagon, but tons of memories are in that old car. I'm glad that your father showed the salesman his new Mercury Colony Park Station Wagon. It would be awesome if you still have it too. Automobiles of today just don't do anything for me. I'd be happy driving an old Plymouth Valiant with a good slant six engine. No computer chips.
Very nice. I'm not familiar with this International Station Wagon Club. The one I know about is the ASWOA. I love station wagons, especially from the 60s, 70s and early 80s.

@@stephenwaldron8694 Maybe not, but the same could be said for truck-based SUVs. I drove a 1990s Toyota 4Runner, a truck-based SUV. And while I appreciated the utility it offered and comfort it provided, it also gave the worst fuel economy of any vehicle I've driven. The best I got was between 15 and 20 mpgs. That's fine for a Land Cruiser or a Suburban, but for a vehicle like the 4Runner, that's wrong.
Wow I am glad that many appreciate these old family workhorses.The original soccer mom vehicle,after kids all grew up many dad's used them hunting,and MOm's flower hauler.
Awsome Video Man.. My favorite came near the end.. a white woody 76 Grand Safari. I learned to drive on ours when it was new and drove it everyday to a local college. Had a 455 4bbl. Ours was the same but completely loaded with the key sport mirrors, key colored rally II wheels, cornering lamps, courtesy lights in the doors 3 seat power gate and everything electric too. Ours was cream with wood and kept meticulous and garaged. My parents were anal.. now I am too!! Lol Thanks Again Sir!!
@kraman777 that's nice. I didn't see one myself. Saw two red Fords, a Galaxie and an LTD and a red 78 Mercury Cougar wagon. And, yes, they did make those. Just that one year, in that size. Then again in 83, in Fairmont size. Looks a lot like a Torino, as they're basically the same car.
@kraman777 When I sold encyclopedeas door to door when I was younger, my boss had one of those in Blue. I got to drive it quite a bit. When Ford put the plaque on the dashboard reading "Ride Engineered", they meant it. With the car fully loaded with co-workers, driving at 110 M.P.H. down the highway was an experience that would be indescribable to anyone under 40. You simply ooozed down the road in library silence that is missing in today's cars. I wish they still rode that well today.
Every since high school I have wanted a 1967 Rambler Rebel Wagon. Anyone know about the Ambassador model short lived, DPL? How about late 60's Plymouth VIP? Thanks for the great video.
I love wagons!! I have been searching for clubs like this for years!! I don't have much money but, I would love to know when they will be in the capital area of NY anytime soon!! Thanks!!
Absolutely stunning. I wish I could've been there. (Hopefully they'll have it a wee bit further south next year. Why do both Wagonfest *and* the ISWC meet have to be *so* far away!?) Thanks for sharing!
Nice video, some rare cars there. I understand that these guys with thier modern wagons must be part of the club, but whats the point in having thier hoods open? Its not like thier engines are more interesting....
That Rambler guy with all the models was a SW junkie! The Dodge Magnum should not have been there, because there was no sedan version of that car. The whole beauty of a SW is that it's a variation of something else, same front, different back. (PS - I HATE SUVs!)

My friend has a 69 Chevrolet wagon his folks bought new. Compared to today, wagons were unique and if course had character.

I didn't realize IH built station wagons. Cool video.
Believe it or not I miss the old station wagons Ilike them better than Cross overs and SUVs.
Nice selection of prime American Wagons...................working on a 1966 Dodge Coronet 440 Wagon!...such lovely lines!
Not even one '67 chevy caprice wagon. Maybe not the most beautiful, but indeed very rare.
63 Chevy 11 wagon.took to my senior prom in 68.dads carpenter work car.six cylinder three on the tree.held my girl and shifted left handed.got dra
STATION WAGONS !!! ...MORE OF THEM Pleeeeease !
had a 62 rambler wagon loved that car
When I was a kid wagons were everywhere. Today they are a scarces as icebergs in the desert.
I LOVE OLD WAGONS

Another video of Station Wagons. It's unforgivable that American car makers aren't making them these days.
They have been outlawed it’s that simple through ffuel consumption requirements
@@stephenwaldron8694 Outlawed? Says who? and Since when?

They need to bring back different sized and priced wagons they would be a lot more fuel efficient than those gd suvs
Finish up.got into the air force,lost girl friend,but the old Chevy 11 memories live on.
AWESOME! love wagons
station wagons rule y'all
Yes, they do!
Great video.... some amazing wagons bring back some awesome memories!!!
Wow I love wagons what a greatcarshow
You can see how station wagons fell out of favor when they got too flat by the 1970s. Ramblers made some of the best wagons ever.
Wow I am glad that many appreciate these old family workhorses.The original soccer mom vehicle,after kids all grew up many dad's used them hunting,and MOm's flower hauler.
So cool, sure wish I had made it to this meet....
We had a white 1962 Chrysler Newport Station wagon when we were growing up. What a great video, and thanks for sharing!
That's similar to how it works in the International Mercury Owners Assoc...They're constantly trying to get local members to throw something together.
Awsome Video Man..

Thanks Again Sir!!
Looks like an awesome event. While I'm not against SUVs and "crossovers", there's something I've always liked about old-school station wagons.
Of course you do. They're GRRREAT
Memphis Dan LeLoLai
Wow, I had the '59 Rambler Ambassador, I bought it for $275 in '76. Ha ha
I wasn't aware that international made a station wagon
The 58 Town & Country Chrysler was tops!
classic masterpieces! 5 stars

The early 70's models Ford Station Wagons LTD had the pretiest of most of them with the styles
Beautiful...thanks for sharing!! Always good to see lots of Buicks
Great video of wagons first one I seen
Classic cars are the best

Surprised there was no 60s Nova Wagons
Love the video. You managed a quick glimpse of a lot of gorgeous cars. Love wagons.
@lucycow The 1968 dodge polara wagon is one of my favorite
Thanks for posting these! Saves me the trouble of having to encode the video I shot. Great show, hope this year is too.
Start BACK looking at that father tellling his what a station was!
Genial idea de hacer especiales los autos con modelos de familias!
No tienes más fotos del evento!
Gracias!

Stratford ? What state is this ?
Absolutely stunning. I wish I could've been there. (Hopefully they'll have it a wee bit further south next year. Why do both Wagonfest *and* the ISWC meet have to be *so* far away!?)
Thanks for sharing!
Joke i on me. I thought that was gong to be a video about a rare International Harvester wagon
It'd be a smaller meet for sure if they only allowed Travelalls
i liked the red torino wagon the best.
That's actually a Montego!
Nice to see all of that superb cars. Shame that the clip maker seems is playing maracas while filming.
this ought to be named "American station wagon club ..."
Thought this would be about International
Travelalls. Nice but disappointed.
Nice cars, shaky camera.
Got seasick watching this buy a tripod ($25)
I thought the videographer had Parkinson's Disease.
a better look at the cars would be nice and not just a walk by = sack the camera man !
Nice video, some rare cars there. I understand that these guys with thier modern wagons must be part of the club, but whats the point in having thier hoods open? Its not like thier engines are more interesting....
Kill joy!
I miss the station wagons and the convertibles. I'm not a fan of SUVS.
If any person donet his car . content me please.
That Rambler guy with all the models was a SW junkie! The Dodge Magnum should not have been there, because there was no sedan version of that car. The whole beauty of a SW is that it's a variation of something else, same front, different back. (PS - I HATE SUVs!)
Maybe the worst camera man ever. Almost the worst, next to me.
Just hand over that camera to a complete stranger.
