Station wagon freak show

The link below has some of the coolest station wagons to have been built. My fav is the 1953 Buick Estate Wagon. In part this is because I had a ’54 Roadmaster and in part because it is such a marvel of classic engineering from the atomic and cold war era.

The one pictured below is the Canadian made Intermeccania Murena.

Thanks! That was fun! I guess I'd take the Buick first.

^Examples of those in good shape can still get around $10K, even if they are up to 20+ years newer. Not a lot are still around according to some quick searches.

How entirely Texas, and also fits the theme of a freak. A 3 point play!

A similar red one, as in the link below, was parked close to my old house in Amsterdam, it was used to pick up French news papers and magazines between Amsterdam and Paris.

The Lagonda is a car you have to see in person to appreciate, it's quit stunning.

On the 300td mer -hevy wagon , a closer look to the shock tower area gives rise that it definately was thought out on just how to mount a 350 into this uncommon mod. I would race those crazy diesel sweds in this thing .
