Best looking Mopar wagon of them all

[Budnicks]

it says wagon

 

[Budnicks]

I like a lot of the land yachts C-Body wagons too
just don't have many photos 66-72 are the era that draws my attention
of the big ol' boats

 

[440 4 speed]

Nothing wrong with a 1960-61 Chrysler 4 door hardtop wagon in black with a blue or red interior. My opinion.

As a baby boomer, I was surrounded by Mopar wagons in the 50s and 60s. My dad owned two, a '53 Plymouth Suburban, and a '56 Dodge Sierra. When the Dodge was on its last legs, I was hoping dad would spring for my personal favorite, a 1960 Chrysler New Yorker wagon. Instead, he broke his mold, and bought the recently introduced Jeep Wagoneer. During the time I owned my 1960 300F, there was another member of the 300 club who owned a 1960 terra cotta wagon he used as a tow vehicle. I parked next to it a couple times at my hotel when I attended the annual Kruse auction in Auburn, Indiana in the 90s. It would have made a great pair with the F.

I liked the Desoto better, but they didn't make a 4 dr hdtp.

Any Forward Look hardtop wagon.

 

[33 IMP]

Any TWO DOOR wagon. (I think 1961 was the last year).

 

[Runcharger]

Those early 60's Chrysler 4 door hardtop wagons. Not sure if they were called Town and Country or New Yorker but they're awesome!

 

[33 IMP]

Coolest wagon EVER, was the 62 Dodge Geri built. Converted to a two door, 426 hemi powered.

 

[OneWheelPeel]

I have a soft spot for the 2005-06 Magnum Hemi's too
needs better alum. or chrome wheels

I wish they kept making those as long as they made the other cars on that platform, would have bought one for sure.

When I started looking for a wagon, I was after a 70 Coronet. I came within a whisker of buying one, but the seller was a colossal dick so I walked away. Later, I found this 72 Coronet and am really happy with it. After lots of reflection I decided my preference was for the streamlined rear window piller look, instead of the squared off version of earlier years. That said, I don't think I've ever seen an ugly Mopar wagon.

 

[PROSTOCKTOM]

63 Plymouth Fury Wagon has to be at the top of the list for me.

[DeltaV]

1970 Dodge Coronet 440 for the total business utilitarian look.

But, I like the 1959 Chrysler New Yorker Town & Country below much more. I wonder what that color looks like in person?

The flanks are THE most important look (to me) for a station wagon.

In 1964 my parents bought another Plymouth wagon, we already had a ’57 2 door Suburban, flathead six and a 3 speed! In 1968 my parents let me loose, when I was 17, with a red and white, like the cover car on the wagon brochure, '59 Plymouth Sport Suburban 9 passenger with the 361 Golden Commando 395 (395 foot pounds of torque at 3000 rpm) with Three Hundred and Five God awsum, tire burning, stump pulling horsepower, pushbutton Torqueflite and 3.31 Sure Grip gears. Manually shift the TF, push 2nd at about 50 (couldn't afford a tach!) and let the TF automatically upshift at about 80. The old cast iron TFs wouldn't hold 2nd and BANG you’re in drive. A full throttle upshift into drive would get you half a fender to half a car on whoever you were racing. Top end was around 115 with the needle bouncing off the peg! The problem was bringing 4000 pounds off the line against the likes of 327, 4 speed Impalas and such. But there were plenty of times I’d take the air filter off and there’s nuthin' like the sweet sound of a four barrel carburetor ‘ceptin' maybe two. She had the bellows power brakes, power steering, power windows, power tailgate window with a switch at the third seat, the air leveling system that went sssssssssss by the time we had it, the Mirror-Matic electronic day/night mirror and doggy dish wheel covers. Who spec’ed this one out I don’t know. She’s gone now BUT I still have the 361, Torqueflite, the original tailgate and an NOS one, the original spare cover and an NOS one and the Mirror-Matic! When you had a 9 passenger there was no place for the spare so they hung the spare under the right quarter with a nice little cover and in the rust belt that went to nothing real quick.
I've always wondered if my car was the brochure car. It was early enough in production that the Marketing Department could've called down to Post Production looking for a flashy car.

To me, this is the coolest wagon out there. Made by my friend Jer (RIP Pal). The one of none Batwagon.

1972 Town & Country for me. For me, this car just oozes class and style.

I was smitten with that car when I saw it at Carlisle. The tricked out wagons were always among my favorites on the show field, seems they've faded away, along with the older owners.
