My father had what was probably the most ginormous station wagon ever built , a 1973 Olds 98 custom cruiser station wagon , seating for 11 , 2 way rear hatch , roof rack, power everything and I believe it got an amazing 9 mpg highway
Thats not unusual! Thanks Tom Jones, appreciate your viewership
My parents had a 72 or 73 Buick Electra Estate wagon that was just like the Olds you describe. Rode like a dream, on a cloud of air, even though it was basically a truck.

My 1974 Toronado gets double digit miles per gallon: 9.6!
Yep, I had a ‘76 Custom Cruiser. I had more fun in that thing…best drive-in car ever. Plus it was great in the snow.
They are ALL BEAUTIFUL 😍
I agree, timeless design
I like station wagons!! Thanks for commenting 😊👍
Hi! I'm HEHEHEHEISLAND!
70s wagons remind me of my childhood. Best time if my life. Drove a wagon once. My buddy lent me his 87 caprice wagon. It felt like I was driving a bus. Good times.
Thanks for sharing!
The Vista Cruiser and its Buick equivalent were, for me, the very coolest ones in this video
me too, thank you!
The Griswald station wagon! I love it!!!!!!
Fun day
Awesome wagon.
Great selection of wagon cruisers. I liked the Levi Jean seat covers in the 55 rat rod even had pocket holders. Ingenious. Thanks Sam. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed the details, my pleasure Dale. Thought a wagon video would be fun to do
Looks like our old car my dad drove in the 70 s. Yay Buick’s !
Gentleman's car
During the 1970's gasoline shortages , these old ,, then new ,, used station wagons could be bought cheap for their muscle engines. I helped pull a few 409's, 401's, 429's , 440's , 454's , 427's and 460's out of the wagons so friends could drop them in a Nova , a Dart , a Falcon , a Valiant ,a Rambler, a Vega or a Maverick etc.. I miss those affordable hotrod days of the 1970' s and early 80's !
Long live the family station wagon 💗
✌☮
What great cars. LOVED the Woody!! Wow! My dad used to have a Rambler Wagon! Don’t know what happened to it. I was pretty young and didn’t think much of cars except as a way to get to the New Jersey shore points.
We had a 1960 Chevy wagon growing up us kids could stand in the back!!!!!! Seat belts!!!! We don't need no stinking seat belts!!!!! That off white with a turquoise interior!!!! Fold back seat and play football in that thing!!!!!!! Also was great for carting a beagle and a bassett hound around!!!! Mom called it the DOGMOBILE!!!!!
Love that. Thanks Tim
Awesome wagons!!! ❤
Yes they are!
Loved all these especially that yellow Chevelle Malibu Classic station wagon. My mom Had one of these when I was a kid only it was Green. Cool car👍👍
Awesome, I know the one. Thanks for watching & sharing, Andy!
My parents as a ‘ 70 Ford Country Squire. Dad loved it, Mom hated it because it was “too big.” She preferred her ‘66 Olds 98. I took my driving test in Olds on a snowy day in January of 1971.
Great memories James
Rather have an old time station wagon than the current suv's and other type of people movers.
So cool top

7:32 2 years ago on my way from Keokuk , IA. Back to Ft. Madison ,IA.
I seen this car only blue but the year
was 70 Buick GS wagon .
👍 👍
Thanks for... My First Car was a 1971 Chevy Kingswood Wagon... I'm Currently putting a 1956 Rambler Cross Country Wagon
Very cool!
Always keeping my eyes peeled for a '68 Chavelle station wagon.
Rare one
We got a 68 comago all window 350 whoole car 1700 540 616 4843 va
Wegot 68 wagon 350
I really miss my college car. A 69 Chevy Brookwood wagon with the two way tailgate. Bench seats and a very healthy 350 ? with an air cleaner as big as a manhole cover and dual exhaust. It would joyfully light up its tires .
I am a classic's car , station wagon, truck I love them with ome parts
You and me both
I had a 1970 pontiac SW with big v-8 and a front grill like a gto...we called it the bat mobile.....I bought it in 1990, it only had 30 ,000 miles, one grand.....ran the shit out of it, used it like a picku truck...with the tailgate down it had an 11ft bed.... sold it for $1000, same as I paid for it. God I loved that car, wish I kept it.
Very cool, thanks Bill
Thanks for posting for us all to enjoy. Station wagons are bad ass , even non classic wagons are cooler than their sedan and coupe siblings. I'm a chevy man but have 2 magnum wagons that I'm in LOVE with. My first wagon I had was a 68 Toyota Corona wagon when I was 19 (my second vehicle I owned ,I still have my first one she's a 60s chevy g10 scooby van) but the cruising blue 61 chevy was the coolest one in the video. Too bad too many people even to this day cut up wagons a d sedans for parts for their coupe siblings and killed the most,then glass house clamshell gm wagons were all used as indestructible demo cars and people stopped buying wagons and started buying vans and suvs then hideous cuv's or what they call crossovers I call crap. I'm a 3rd Gen Camaro lover but I love my long roofs ,I also have my mid engined 60s chevy scooby van ,2 magnum wagons, and 4 burbans (99,03,07 and 2010) I wish they still sold my sexy magnum wagons
Love Magnums
Beautiful. I love the Chevys with their 50’s colors and the woody is magnificent! Thanks for sharing Sam!
My pleasure!!
i dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid lost my login password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Yahir Rohan Instablaster ;)
@Camden Jaxen thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.
Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Camden Jaxen It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out !
So if I put wood grain trim on my Subaru outback would that make the grade and be acceptable?
There's no judging standards lol
It reminded me of my Plymouth Volaré station wagon, when I was 17. It was like my first apartement. That summer.....what can I say.....It was perfect.
Very cool
My high school friend got his parents station wagon as his first car at age 17 , it was a 1964 Buick. We smoked a few joints and drank a few beers in it ,, back then in 1970 ! Another friend, same but it was a 1963 Plymouth wagon.
We had a Buick station wagon that exact same year but without the wood siding. It was red. We always loved driving in it as a kid.
Very cool
Love the national lampoon’s wagon 😆🤣😆🤣👍
😆 life changing footage
We had a Country Squire, a Bonneville and I can't think... A woodie and one more
Thanks for sharing, have enjoyed your comments
We had a ‘70 Country Squire wagon, white with the wood grain sides Dad loved it, Mom hated it. She always said we didn’t need such a big car, but she drove a ‘66 Olds 98. I took my driving test in the Olds.
I still have my Grandpa's 1976 country squire. My favorite is certainly the wagon queen family truckster.

Great share. Unique cars. Not the same ole same ole.
Thank you sir! Yeah I'm pretty random I don't like all super nice stuff, need some grit in my life and real cars
@@samspace81 i grew up with antiques, primitives. Sort of like old cars that have really been used. You see how ppl lived with the items and get a better connection with them. Its more real and less museum, etc.
Man o man,I'd love to sport the GS Wagon!Almost as good as the GSX
Convertible, two almost muscle cars
that were never made. Very sad, but
kick-ass, Coulda shoulda woulda...
Yes 100 looks so right and feels good too lol
Indeed. I’d probably have one or still be wanting one.
That looks like Tom Cotters Woody.
That’s a sentence I’d never thought I’d say after all it is a sweet car.
Wagons rule the earth....
and take along all your friends
I love wagons ! We had a 59 Nomad Wagon..(I know It wasn't a "True Nomad") made many trips from California to Oklahoma in it. !!!
Awesome!
learned on a 59 merc colony park, 128in wheelbase, 390 mercomatic. black woody on red. stunning.
Love a big turnpike cruiser Merc
@@samspace81 Would have been a 383 or a 430. No 390 for '59.
Sick!! They got the wagon from National Lampoon. So cool.
Right?
@@samspace81 such a classic movie!! Wanna see the trashbag airbags!!😂😂
Sam, 6.19 That Sport Wagon . The epitome of "big" station wagons ! Think a mini would fit in the rear ! Thanks Sam.
yes! love these old wagons, the Buick versions are unusual. They bring some money too!
Very cool excellent wagons.👍🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it my friend, fun video to do. Love old wagons too
I spent about 30 yrs , Buick Dealer, service dept wise, from service advisor to management, from the early 60's and up. I remember the "glass panels top" on the Skylark Wagons, the original, esp early production vehicles, had the "TITANIC" effect. They weren't water tight! We had a retired couple that were driving to Florida for the winter season. As I remember, there were clothes hooks, in the rear, factory headliner mounted, to hang what ever, like clothes, if I remember correctly, there was also available an accessory bar that could be mounted from side to side. This vehicle was an early production vehicle. So, not too long after they bought this car, they loaded up, clothes wise, and left for Florida. On Their way to Florida, they ran into a "few" torrential rain events, like what's currently happening now, there were many items that were ruined by the Glass Panels weatherstrips not being watertight. GM, Buick, reimbursed the owner. (Goodwill Policy Adjustment) Eventually the above problem was corrected by redesigning the weatherstrips and other Buick Technical Service Bulletin Procedures. BTW, I can't remember ever seeing a Buick "GS 400" Skylark Station Wagon, as shown on the private property segment. (However, I did buy a "GS 400" , 2 Door SEDAN, Model 4607, Had a "B" Pillar, 4 SPD Manual Trans, Positraction, NO A/C or P/S.) I WISH I HAD THAT CAR NOW!! 😓 OH WELL, .........
That's very fascinating. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment sir & your viewership
Probably millions of teenager ''inherited'' the family wagon as their first car when they got their drivers license as a teen , still in high school. I was a motorhead teen, so at age 14 and prepped my first car 3 years prior to being old enough to drive it .
Oldsmobile is the best looking wagon i think
Agree
@@samspace81 custom cruiser is just stunning ..love it
Dad had a maroon Greenbriar wagon in early 1970’s that was the same body style as the Chevelle and had a 350 in it. I spent hours riding in the back with no seat. I wonder if in 50 years, my children will wax nostalgic about our minivans.
Very cool, thanks for sharing that
I swear I can smell those interiors through the screen.
Yes!
Although my family never owned a Station Wagon, I had the experience of riding in at least 1 during the early 1960's then owning a 1984 Mercury Lynx Wagon during 1989 when I bought it used for $1200!!! I know that it wasn't like these, but I have always loved the Station Wagons!!!
I've owned a 1999 Dodge Ram High Top Conversion Van and a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan during my life! Just evolutions of the Station Wagon, but still a Station Wagon all the same!!! The Chevy Nomad Wagon is probably the Sharpest, Iconic Wagon in my opinion! Never had 1, but it is so 🆒!!! 😎
Good memories I hope. Appreciate you watching 👀
@@samspace81 Of course there's no going back in time, but if I had the 💰 money and could find 1 in decent condition with under 90, 000 original miles on the odometer, I would love to have another High Top Conversion Van by Dodge!!! That or maybe even a Roadmaster Station Wagon from GM would be nice! But being 61 years old and on a fixed income, it probably won't happen, but I can always dream and remember what I still have. Fond memories!!!
These car shows help ha
I know I saw our Vista Cruiser. My father hated the color so much he took it and had it professionally painted a high gloss yellow. It cruised baby
Love that, thanks for sharing
I do believe you like the Griswald wagon, Sam!
Nice, you might be right!
My pop once had a 1968 Plymouth Satellite Station Wagon.
And I hated it when he sold it.
Cool lines
Me turning 61 and I tell you folks :
They may lemons and great awesome lemonade of which I love 😃😍🤩👌👏💯
Now a days they ONLY make artificial lemons and lemonade😔💯
Appreciate you watching
My favorites are the Buick Skylark Sportswagons.
Those are sweet. Appreciate your comments and viewership
Man what a great vid!👍
Glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate you watching - SAM
I love Station Wagons!!!
It's a shame they were killed off by minivans and even worse, garbage crossovers
comment of the day. Couldn't agree more!
Love the ‘55-‘57 Nomads
Hi Allan, me too. I never get tired of looking at them. Thanks for watching :)
That wagon you videoed over the fence was rather special also. Your welcome, thanks for the hard work you do to get them up on RUclips 👍
Love these
Appreciate you watching 👀
I really wanna get classic vintage american station wagon soo much once i get a family its just that i know a lot of them are automatic which is sad but i wanna get a proper real one and make it manual and make it american classic one too :D
One day ill do it !
You can make it happen! Good investment
@@samspace81 why thank you ^^
I want to shout out to a great guy in Kentucky...
Mike Vosmer, he had a 55 Nomad 396 beast, and his friends 68 Camaro that he'd restored from absolute totaled condition...
Hope he's well and alive
Thanks for sharing
That was cool!
Many thanks 💯 👍
That 200 plus stick😂❤
👍 👍
I love it in Europe, Mercedes AMG wagon aka Estate..
Love AMGS I had a 2006 E55 I drove daily for years
Respect from Ukraine.Wanderfull cars history 😎🤘
Appreciate you, much love from Texas, 🇺🇸
I currently own the last of the GM line of REAL station wagons, a 1996 Buick Roadmaster.
Good one. I like LT1s and big cruisers
I grew up in Fifties and Sixties Chevy wagons and think it would be perfect if I could find one. The SUV's are too high for my arthritic knees. Any sources?
I understand and sorry about your knee pain. I would just search all the avenues such as Facebook marketplace, craigslist, and classic dealerships. If you have specific makes & models and a price range, I can help further -SAM
i grew up in the back of a 68 olds vista cruiser.
Love it, glamorous?
Need to bring grocerie getters like back.😅
Great vid❗️ Also nice to see people walking around with no freaking masks on 🙄🇺🇸
Thanks for watching, I'm not too worried about open air events.
Pack them up, and roof rack A Must! Where were these cars photographed
I go to car shows all over the country on this RUclips channel. Some at the GM Nationals in Carlise, PA, really all over. Texas, Michigan, New York,
It took a certain kind of person to go to the dealership to buy a family truckster to drive into your driveway with a wagon when they offered lots of other cars that could haul a family around what does the future hold for the mini-van ? I can’t imagine they’ll ever be cool
So true, haha thanks for watching
Vista Cruisers!!!
Love em too
Nice
Should be called the Grocery Getter Gallery
Love it

You're welcome and thank you for the video!

You've got cool taste in cars!
@@samspace81 lol thanks, judging by what i see you featuring and filming, so do you.
We got a 68 comdo vagon4 sale all glass white 350 1700
Sweet ride
é agradável ver esses vídeos
Thanks so much, always a pleasure
@@samspace81 que bom :)
did they make any with 4x4
No
@@samspace81 did they make any of the old station wagons not including the amc eagle in 4x4 or awd? not that the eagle doesnt count but its not exactly huge like the old wagons so i kind feel like its not a full size station wagon...its more mid size...
You cannot escape tri-5 Chevys. What no BUICK CENTURY CABALLERO ESTATE WAGONS?
I remember seeing maybe one 👀
One guy driving that newer wagon is wearing a mask 😂
😆 💪
I''ve got a 99 Taurus wagon.I always thought the 70:s Malibu wagon was cool.
For sure, thanks for watching and commenting
Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser, not Buick
I don't see many of either version
I wish I could get a wagon
Get one now, they're getting more expensive
when cars were cars
So true
kkkkkkk mais que carro é aquele todo completamente emplacado?
Esses vagões eram populares entre as famílias nos EUA
@@samspace81 Ahhh!!! Simm, que lega l!!!
