Best looking Mopar wagon of them all

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
 
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.
 
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!
 
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.
