DKW F94U Sonderklasse Universal
Here we have a very rare (in the US, especially) little wagon, which once served as a sensible family car in postwar Germany and was part of the group that would eventually become Audi.

Best Mazda Protege5 Ad Ever!
The Protege5 was the wagon (5 = five door) version of the Mazda Protege, a small car known for fantastic handling and only okay power. This is a good car, but the ad is the reason it’s here.

Dream Wagon? 1981 AMC Eagle with Ford 302 and Five-Speed
We don’t think it gets much cooler than this build. Sure, this wagon gave up is all-wheel drive; but it gained a lot in performance and looks.

Plymouth + Jeep + Oldsmobile = Awesome Off-Road Wagon!
Here’s a fine piece of ‘Muricana for Memorial Day. What we have here is a Plymouth Valiant wagon with Barracuda bits sitting on top of a Jeep Wagoneer frame and powered by an Olds 455. Aside from the automatics trans, this is basically perfect! As a matter of fact, we’ll accept an AT on an…

Ford Fairmont Wagon with 3MT
We guess this is a Mexico specification not offered in the US: a 1983 Ford Fairmont with a floor-mounted, three-speed manual transmission!

1977 Pinto Cruisin’ Wagon Meets Bronco 4WD System
WWe love Pinto Cruising Wagons in just about any condition or format. This is probably the most heavily modified we’ve seen, as it’s lifted and features a 1974 Bronco 4WD system and 1975 302 V8. The result is beautifully ridiculous. The seller provides a decent amount of info, but it’s not 100% clear how this was…

1988 Renault Medallion: French, Manual Wagon!
Here’s a car that checks almost all of the boxes. 1) It’s French, which guarantees obscurity in the US. Even better, the car and the engine are products of long-forgotten alliances. 2) It’s a wagon 3) It features a clutch pedal What’s missing? We say it’d be perfect with all-wheel drive and painted brown. Still,…

Nine-Door Wagon: Checker Aerobus
Not too many decades ago, multi-door airport shuttles/limousines were relatively common. We vaguely recall that the mini-shuttles we all know from rental car and parking shuttle usage today simply weren’t around; so it made sense to have these multi-door beasts,which could add passengers quickly and without requiring those already on board to reshuffle. I remember…

Buick Grand National Wagon Tribute
No, Buick never put the turbocharged 3.8 from the GN into the Regal Wagon; but someone else did. This car isn’t perfect; but it is a great start. The engine swap was done in such a way that it look essentially stock (surface rust and all). What’s the bad news? The biggest issue is that…

L28 Powered 1955 Rambler Wagon
Here’s an odd swap: A 1955 Nash Rambler wagon with a Nissan/Datsun L28 inline six. While the combination of brands is genuinely odd, this Nash would have had an I6 from the factory; so we assume this was a relatively easy fit. Good news is this L28 should put out nearly twice the power of…
