in praise of station wagons






As a kid growing up here in the 70s and 80s, I never would have imagined writing anything complimentary about the station wagon. But now, looking back to a time before suburban moms all started getting tit jobs and driving faux-military vehicles that they can't manage to park at Whole Foods--well, the old Country Squire starts to look refreshingly honest and practical, no? You're loading up kids, boogie boards, coolers, and dog for a trip to the beach. What would you rather drive? A Cadillac Escalade or this classic Ford? Yeah, me too.
