America cars ridicoulus bidone!
My Mom had a 1969 Ford Torino Station Wagon, white with blue interior, special order 351 Cleveland 4 barrel. Rocket ship. I wish I had it now...
A 428 CJ WAGON WOULD BE GREAT OR A 1964 COMET THUNDERBOLT WAGON WOULD BE AMONG MY TOP CHOICES .
They really need to bring station wagons back in full effect.
I think wagons are better than oversized SUVs.
I 'm agree with you. They stopped making wagons currently and I miss them
Two groups of cars here... the old GM 60-70s that all got 10 mpg and the survivors in the video have all been modded . 500-600 hp trick cars.. none really represent what those cars meant to the families who bought them back then. All those new euro wagons couldn’t haul a sheet of plywood unless you cut it in four pieces.
Wow. AMC was way ahead of its time. Imagine if they mad the Eagle now.
@@a1ar127 you also wouldnt wanna do it in these modern european luxury wagons because ud be worried about scratching the letter stitching, idk how many of their owners really bought them for the practicality of a station wagon and actually use it
Imagine seeing a Vista Cruiser blowing past you at 120 mph!
The safari wagon, sweet
I miss mine
Please car manufacturers bring back the 1950s to 1970s station wagons they are The Best cars you all ever made besides the muscle cars
That Cevy Kingswood, the 442 Vista Cruiser, Bonne' Safari, and every generation of Impala Wagon, are just beautiful damn cars... I'll take the Olds Vista Cruiser!
I mean, just look at quarter panel lines! Those curves are just plain sexy, station wagon or not!
Had a '68. Rocket 350. 4 barrel. Great car.
My favorite all-time wagon(s): Any full-size '60s Pontiac (Catalina/Bonneville/Executive Safari)! Yep, throw in that '59, too!
I always liked B-O-P offerings over the same MY Chevys.
Yes, especially with the 428.
Did they ever put a 396 in the 66 Impala Wagon? That'd be great too.
FORD '68 LTD Country Squire w/390 FE, hidden headlites, hiway cruiser, Home Depot for 4'× 8' plywood sheets (inside).....
Miss those 60's wagons, sleepers with creature comforts..!
Heck yeah! Why didn't it make the video? AMC Eagle? wtf.
My parents had a 429 in there Country Squire. My Dad used to say it’ll pass anything but a gas station.
@@westtexan2263 HELP
A few of these took me right back to my Poppa's 1976 Pontiac Catalina station wagon. It was beautiful, white, long, it was a land yacht. I miss that car like crazy, I'd love to find one to restore.
Out of all of these station wagons, I'd have to say that my personal favorite is The Impala
Oldsmobile for me
I haven't even watched the video yet I'm still pissed I use to buy and sell cars back in the day over 20 years ago when I was 17 and 18 not for a lot of money but got to use the car rally it around and make a few hundred or a $1000 a couple of times when you could still find some of these and some muscle cars for a $1000 and under than a year or 2 later they all started disappearing because the government was crushing them because they wanted them off the road.one tow yard I bought at least 10 cars and trucks from had a in pretty perfect condition at least the body and interior were.He had it was called joes towing had a 1967 Chevy impala station wagon with a 327 engine in it.Never saw one before and haven't seen one since.Fucking talked to him at 6 or 7 at night had already talked and meet him a few times before because I already bought a few cars off of him he was asking $500 can't remember if it was $500 or $500 obo but I didn't try to talk him down I told him id bring to money to him right then he said it was no problem it would be there in the morning. I called him the next day like we agree on and he fucking sold it I still can't believe it to this day that would have been a fun ass car to race around for a few months what an asshole.
My dad bought a 66 chevelle wagon brand new, I got it as my first car in 78 when he bought a truck. Awesome car. One of my biggest regrets was selling it 4 years later. Wish I still had it. Love old classic cars from that era
Dad had a 63 Bel Air station wagon in a beautiful blue with the plush Body by Fisher. 327 Turbo Fire with performance package. A big Edelbrock hi rise intake with the big Rochester 4 jet carb.
Yes. It had the crossed flag badges too. 4' x 8' plywood sheets fit in the back. No problemo.
Yep! Sure did!
The Cadillic CTS is very sweet, The Bonneville looks much longer then any of the other wagons.The Impala wagon is real sweet. good job
Pontiac Bonneville 1959 with drop rear window that works, must be the star of the show. . .
Don't screw with my station wagon!!!! Nice.
73 Caprice estate w/ 454 4barrel, dual exhaust, positrac....learned how to drive in this beast!!!
Owned lots of those beasts. Great urban assault vehicles. Need a parking space? Just shove a few rice burners out of the way.
@@nickdulak1837 Damn right!!
Nice, I had a 69 Townsman 327 and 71 LeMans wagon 350 loved them both
The one I really liked was the '69 Town and Country. 440 4 barrel. Some of them got robbed for parts to convert a Fury into Road Runner
We had a 1970 Town and Country 440 HP 390 H.P. with the trailer towing package which included low gearing in the rear. That thing was really fast from 0-100 mph and it was a perfect sleeper. Once, my Dad blew away this jacked up 55 Chevy at a light that was revving up his engine and popping the clutch while waiting for the light to turn green. At the green light, my Dad took off and left that Chevy sitting there.
@@OverlandOne Probably sitting there crying that he looked stupid for getting his doors blown off by a station wagon. Would like to have seen the look on his face. Ha ha.
For me, if you can't fit a 4X8 plywood in back it's not a station wagon.
My absolute dream car since I was in the 9th grade back in the 60s has been a ‘55’ Chevy Nomad wit a 409 c.i.engine...
wagons were fun at the drive in
I love the older models But I also like the Dodge Magnum Srt-8.
Not sure how a 117 hp AMC Eagle made the list of most powerful or beautiful?
Same engine as Jeep CJ and 4WD. These things are popular in Alaska .
@@richardscott1397 I owned a sedan not wagon. Still not beautiful or powerful
But very popular and utilitarian which is what wagons were supposed to be. The only "beautiful powerful" wagon was the 50's Chevy Nomads. @@electric8668
@@richardscott1397 Agreed but the topic is Most Powerful and Beautiful Station Wagons Ever Made. The point is they were neither powerful or beautiful.
there beauty was 4x4 /all wheel drive with there gearing they where quick. also fell apart in 20,000 miles, front wheel bearing housing were total shit
In the fall of 1964, father bought a 1965 Chevy Impala wagon that had been a special order but the original customer moved so dad got the car to tow our sailboat. The car was white with the aqua marine interior. 409 V8 with a 4 barrel, 4 on the floor with the heaviest clutch I've ever driven and positraction. It had the Impala crossed flags with 409 badges on the front fenders. The transmission had a very low 1st gear. He generally shifted 1st, 3d, and 4th. If he was lazy 2d then 4th. When the car had 120,000 a GTO pulled up next to dad, Mr. business man. The kid in the GTO saw the 409 badge and gave dad a smirk. The light turned green and ole dad smoked the kid.
First time I see a Ferrari station wagon
I wood love any one of the classics any day of the week.
My mom's car, which became the first car for myself and my siblings when we learned to drive was a 1966 Pontiac Bonneville Wagon with a 383 stroker motor, disc brakes, air conditioning, real wood trim on the dashboard and I drove that car everywhere, loaded with friends, surfboards, skis, skateboards, banging girls in it, that was the best car ever. Especially when gas was less than a dollar a gallon. It had the seat in the very back that faced out the back window so you could check out whoever is behind you. That's where the friends that smoked sat.
I used to have a 1969 Buick WildCat, champagne color, 440 plus a 4 barrel carb, 2 door BEAST!! Matter of fact that was the first car my Dad bought me when I was 16!!!, YOU won't find many of these station wagons AT ALL in the U.S anymore, it's a shame. A lot of them just rusted away to oblivion. That's why I miss mine so much, I think I live vicariously thru these damn videos!!!!👍💯
I think many of the older American wagons were quicker than their sedan counterparts because they came with bigger gears in the rearend.
I bet you love a big gear in your rear end 😮
In the 70's our neighbor had the fast Ford Wagon so my dad got the Oldsmobile Wagon with the 455 engine. I believe it was a 75 or 76 Custom Wagon. I was 19 or 20 and that was the fastest car I ever drove. It took awhile, but at about 100 mph that thing seemed to float down the road and on a two lane road you knew you were living on the edge. You sensed you couldn't stop it within the length of a football field. It was like the unstoppable force. It was like a 6000 lb sled going down a toboggan run and it needed quite awhile to slow down. It was scary and I had friends who said they would never ride with me in it again. My dad's favorite thing on the car - He had prostate problems since he was in his late 30's and it had an air-conditioning vent below the steering wheel that blew right between his legs. He really liked that.
Pontiac Bonneville is delicious and color in the video is amazing. We can remember people going on holidays in the 70's...great
Oldsmobile is top dog in Wagons.
"You can literally Cruise the Vista in that car"
Red Forman
In the 80's you could buy a good station wagon for $200 - $300 !!
That's around $650 to $1950 of todays money
My 1st car was an SUV? When I turned 16, (1974) my Dad bought me a 55 4-door Chevy wagon for 100 dollars. 6 banger, 3 on the tree. Sweet memories.✌☮☮☮✌
I remember the magnum SRT had 420 horsepower and 400 pound feet torque, mid 4 sec car 0-60......and hit 170. It TOO was a wagon
I was going to say this, the Magnum is one of the best looking and fastest Wagons ever made
Those station wagons make excellent sleeper cars.
How do you not include a Dodge Magnum SRT8?!
@original lone wolf I don't know I had a 2005 Magnum RT lowered with wheels and it was flawless when I sold it with over 100,000 in 2005!
Probably because dodge labeled it as a “sport tourer” instead of a wagon
Hats off to Cadillac for attempting to bring wagons back with the CTS . Unfortunately wagons have become nitch vehicles in America and didn't catch on due to all the SUV's cluttering our hghhways. Damn shame.
And the Ferrari..... ♥
@leone7227 Your driving my dream, man. Unfortunately where I live it would have to be just a "toy" due to weather, and I'm not sure I want to drop that much $ for just a toy. I have however been giving a lot of thought to a last gen T-Bird for a new toy. I like the retro look and it's affordable.
For Audi, Volkswagen, bmw, Mercedes, Saab, Volvo....They never went away
@@MrMarkpark saab went away tho
Diltd that is correct. So let’s add dodge magnum, in its place.
Cool cars! BUT WHERE'S THE 57 CHEVY NOMAD?
I love wagons.
Ohh, the thunderously deep roar of an American big block V8! It's music to my ears! Then insert under the bonnet of any big beautiful old American estate. What's not to like!
As an owner of a 1968 Ford Country Squire and a 2006 Dodge Magnum RT, I officially have a thing for wagons. The long roof to me just oozes sleek and fast. They rule. Screw an SUV. Who likes to cut donuts in a top heavy Tahoe or Explorer when you can leave 11s down the street in your wagon?
You know, the 1972 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser 4-4-2 gets all of the attention for being an obscure muscle wagon/estate car/shooting brake from GM, but, in all honesty, the 1969 Chevrolet Kingswood (USA/Canada) honestly is an even MORE criminally underrated muscle wagon/estate car/shooting brake, to say nothing of the Chevrolet Chevelle SS Wagon, Fourth Generation Chevrolet Caprice Wagon, Chevrolet Caprice Corvette Chaser, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Generations Chevrolet Impala SS Wagon, with PLENTY of high powered engine options, and Buick Roadmaster Estate. Furthermore, I think that a Third Generation Dodge Magnum (or Fourth Generation Dodge Magnum if you are in Latin/Central/South America) with a Hellcrate or Hellephant kit would be the end all and be all of all muscle wagons/estate cars/shooting brakes, as they differ very little in body and frame structure from the current Seventh Generation Dodge Charger, Third Generation Dodge Challenger, and Second Generation Chrysler 300, thus also making it relatively easy to use a Hellcrate or Hellephant crate engine kit for the engine on such a vehicle.
I lived in snowy Syracuse, NY for a few years and my buddy had one of those AMC Eagles and that thing went through deep snow like a hot knife through butter.
I had a, 64 Chevy Impala wagon factory a/c 327 fuellie heads Carter 4bbl Fast,and Reliable!!
No matter what I would still take a 1955 Nomad any day of the week .
I can remember a lot of the old wagons being used for tow vehicles back in the day. Also pulling campers. I can remember an old "65" wagon I used for going fishing and pulling the job boat and trailer. It posi and a 283 4bbl.
I love american cars they are so beautiful.
Mr Fathead + :)
You forgot... Volvo 850 2.3L T5 and the Ford Cortina v6....
Agreed. And "ever made" is a little far fetched tbh, there was the very awesome "Lamborghini Estoque"-Concept that never made it to production and the Audi RS6 C7 is an absolutely gorgeous beast as well.
I know, my parents owned one! 😊

My favorite is the Chevrolet Impala wagon
Ya'll forgot the Buick Esquire with the 455.had one nice car.
Estate?
No classic European wagon looks better than the old V8 powered American grocery getters!
You obviously never got further than a trailer home and a piece of GM dazzle.
mesaman Actually my Dad had a Dodge Polara Station Wagon which we built together and threw a 440 under the hood....and btw never had a trailer home.
And no old American wagon drives like a European wagon. I have a Avocado Green 79 Cutlass Cruiser and a Pearl White 91 Audi 200 20v Avant. I love them both for different reasons. The Audi would do 160 mph from the factory and can go around corners. The Cutlass needed a engine swap to be a fun driver in a straight line and gets most of the attention of the two. Completely different animals but they share the same garage without fighting too much.
Eric Harrison Respect for your garage brother. Real car guys don't hate, they enjoy everything on 4 wheels which is fun to drive and look at.
AMG Hammer looks sick
I remember my dad had a Chevy wagon with a 400 big block and it said on the air cleaner 400 Ci 400 hp .
The 72 Vista has a 350 rocket under the hood.
I remember when my parents had a 62 ford Galaxy wagon it was no hot rod but it serves the purpose!!!!!!!!!
The second most beautiful (57 Nomad being #1) is the 1970 Chevy Malibu wagon.
I’m in love with the Olds wagon with the big block 455 cid
The Olds wagon that burned rubber in each gear and the 64 Chevy wagon red were the best two, sweet. I would take them over the others. How or where could you find the old 50's and 60's models American cars that came out factory with big V-8 engines?
I miss my old Country Squire. 1977, 10-passenger, one of the last of the land barge station wagons. The original owner got ALL the toys - an air conditioner that could double as a meat freezer, power locks, seats, windows. Cruise control, tow package, 460 engine. They used to tow campers with those things. Gas mileage sucked ass, though.
My dad had a 1961 Dodge Polara station wagon, try and find one of those!
Try and find any wagon in decent shape they don't want a fortune for.
@@mroldpueblo7879 Acually any '61 Dodge, they were one of a kind with reverse fins.
had a rambler v 6 loved that car
I don't think that you had that car with a v6 in it cause they didn't ever make one, now an inline 6 I can't argue with that!!!!!!!!
I'm 56 now, my first vehicle was a used 1970 400 small block Lt metallic green Kingswood estate wagon aka 'the tank' as we called it. I liked it so much I put headers on it. The specs on 1/4 mile times were 17.6 blazing seconds!
I had a 1969 Kingswood wagon like first car on video in 1977&78. With a 327&turbo 400
Always liked the 64 Pontiac Tempest Safari, and the 58 Chrysler New Yorker Hemi Wagon.
Are you kidding where are the Fords & Mopars. Forget the Euro Cars.
We had a Vista Cruiser. I remember it didn’t have good breaking for us young hot rod kids.
In my view, the Kingswood is the most attractive.
It accelerates it has no weight without the engine sounding strained.
It is just a little buzz and it is away.
Show me a 2019 car that can duplicate that performance.
Well, - I will stick to my 300HP cars: Volvo S60/2005 and V70/2007.
No rust in these cars in a country with a lot of salted roads during winters with snow and frost.

John Due + Thank you sir :)
When you got to get to the store first to buy up all the toilette paper with plenty of space to haul it.
When I was a teenager around 1965 Dad bought a 64 chevy station wagon 327'ci and 4 brl carb white with black interior, that thing would smoke the back tires ! I'd take the breather off to make sound meaner when you got on it !
Proves what I used to joke about in the early 70's as a kid. "One day,all these cars will be collectors cars"..even the Vegas and Pinto's. Like I saw the future. Even then,I don't think I really believed Station Wagons, or even 4 doors cars would be really wanted by anybody. That would be too much!
I miss my amc eagle 4×4
I still have a ‘71 Vista Cruiser with a 455.
I drive a Volvo V 50 Estate , I love Station wagons whatever make they are , but the American ones are something else love them , trouble now is all this emissions crap and restrictions on what you can and can't drive , pricing the average person off the road , great video, Chevy impala looks Awesome 👏
Thanks!!, Car News T.V.!!! A great way to begin a Friday and good weekend!! I'm not sure if you wanted to include The Buick SportWagon (what I heard Buick never liked the word "Stationwagon")!!! I believe from 69 to 72 with a 454 I think???
goodguygto The Buick big block were 455 .
No Nomad?
I haven't ridden in anybody's station wagon since I was a kid!
Where is the Third (or Fourth if you live in Latin/Central/South America) Generation Dodge Magnum, particularly its SRT8 variant? They were also a powerful station wagon/estate car/shooting brake as well, and ditto for the Mercedes-Benz-AMG-CLA 45, BMW-Alpina B3 S Biturbo, Porsche Panamera 4S Sport Turismo, Mercedes-AMG CLS63, Porsche Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo, BMW-Alpina B5 Biturbo, Mercedes-AMG E63, Brabus-Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, Chrysler 300C SRT8 Touring, Jaguar XF Sportbrake, Buick Roadmaster Estate, Holden Commodore Sportwagon, Fourth Generation Chevrolet Caprice Wagon, Chevrolet Caprice Corvette Chaser, Dodge Hemi Coronet Wagon, Chevrolet Chevelle SS Wagon, Volvo V60 Polestar, Mercedes CLS AMG Shooting Brake, Custom Bentley Arnage Wagon, VW Passat Wagon W8, Subaru Forester STI, Holden HSV Clubsport R8 Tourer, Ferrari GTC4Lusso, MTM Audi R6 Avant, Brabus-Mercedes-Benz 850 Shooting Brake, Bentley Continental Supersports Flying Star, Aston Martin Vantage Shooting Brake, Maserati Quattroporte Shooting Brake, Maserati Touring Bellagio, Volvo 850 BTCC, and others.
Pax Humana at least someone mentioned the w8 Passat wagon
@paul austin , ooh, good call...and thanks for noticing the omission...sometimes, people in the USA like myself tend to make mistakes like that, and I do apologize for the error. Being as I am autistic in real life, it is hard to admit when I make a mistake. I will look up that car sometime.
@paul austin , say, is the Vauxhall Magnum Sportshatch not built upon the Chevrolet Vega Wagon body, more or less, but vastly improved in a lot of aspects?
@paul austin , we are talking about the MOST powerful station wagons/estate cars/shooting brakes ever. The Vauxhall Magnum Sportshatch only had around 70 HP if you convert cc to HP, as the Vauxhall Magnum Sportshatch only had a 2279 cc engine. Granted, it was probably a good S4 engine, but the Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth Neon SRT-4 engine honestly made that Vauxhall Magnum Sportshatch engine look rather anemic in comparison, but, in all honesty, it was not really the fault of car itself, meaning the Vauxhall Magnum Sportshatch, but, rather its designers that were scared about pollution and rising oil prices, never mind that, ironically, the vehicle was MORE of a gas guzzling hog than even massive V8 engines.
A Ferrari 456 wagon with hidden hesdlights? Simply unbelievable to see. I know the other ones shown
Buick Estate Pontiac Safari Olds Vista Cruiser Plymouth Custom Suburban
I grew up with all the old ones and can say that though there was a whole lot wrong with them, the average family couldnt get along without a big wagon. I have been all over the US in those wagons, vista-cruiser too, all the time sitting in the backseat throwing up. When the automakers stopped making them, people also stopped making road trips. Airplanes took over, thats why the wagon died. Today, people dont want to fly, they are making more road trips now but they are doing it in Prius and SUVs. But old timers dont want a sporty SUV, they want a wagon again. I know my dad would. I would, especially with wind-wings and roll-down rear window, both so useful.
You forgot to include the Citroën Familiale wagon, any year from the 50s and 60s. Can’t beat the hydropneumatic suspension!
You forgot the Aussie Fords and Holden station wagons
Like that vista cruiser
Thanks for the things celebration of wagons. Being a wagon fan I think they are all beautiful. The fact that you had the Vagon(cts-v) on there let me know you appreciate them. Great video and thanks.

I always built these cars back in the day. My black friend Alfred always called them my HO-- WAGONS . O.K. by me.
Your good friend Vinny in good old Fla.
My Dad had a 69 Chrysler New Yorker wagon, 440 ci, auto with 3.73 posi_lock. it would certainly "Haul" the groceries!
all are awesome 😘😘😘
You forgot the 1996 Buick Roadmaster wagon. Collectors addition.
The Buick Regal station wagon also.
An Audi? With sooo many beautiful old Volvo wagons.
Great list! Never seen the Ferrari, beautiful automobile. Cadillac CTS V has to get the nod for most powerful and quickest, but they all rock!
HWolfeIII + Thank you! :)
Forgot the Buick Sportwagon came with "A MANUAL" 3 speed!!!
My 1968 was automatic, but it was frog green and I couldn't sell it so I gave it away.
Bring wagons back ✌🏻
@SusanMarie3 which station wagon car is your favourite? :)
@@CarNewsTV grew up with Ford Country Squire - would trade my Explorer for. New one today
I could only dream of one
You forgot the absolutely beautiful and immensely powerful Mercedes Benz AMG CLA45 AMG, que most beautiful station wagon of the world of all times !
A 66 Buick wagon is every bit as hot as the vista cruiser
Excellent station wagons.👍🇺🇸
My Faves are the Ford Wagons from the late 70s early 80s based off of the Fox Platform. You can bolt any Fox Body Mustang upgrades to them like suspension, engine etc and you have a sleeper grocery getter drag car. The Ford Fairmont, Mercury Zephyr, LTD LX wagons are PERFECT.
They didn't show one Ford
What happened to the vega & pinto wagon’s
1963-'64 Studebaker Daytona Wagonaire. Studebaker R2 V8 (Supercharged 289, and totally unrelated to the Ford engine of almost the same size), Power Shift 3-speed automatic or 4-speed manual. Studebaker never advertised the horsepower ratings for the Avanti-spec engines, but acceleration and top speed figures suggest somewhere between 300 and 335 for the R2. Between the available supercharged mill and the trick "sky's the limit" roof over the cargo bay, it's among the coolest haulers ever built.
