The Original Brick in Wagon Form
Here we have a rarely-seen-in-this-condition Volvo 140 series. Even better, it’s the 145, which means a five-door wagon! Even better, it’s a four-speed wagon. The Volvo 240 gets a lot of attention and is the most commonly referenced Brick, but it all started with the 140. As many know, a 142 is a two-door coupe/sedan,…

Yard Find: 1985 Mercury Lynx Wagon
We’re rushing this one to press, as I’m sure Sports Car Market will be all over this and it will certainly appear on an episode of Chasing Classic Cars. After all, when did you last see any Mercury Lynx, not to mention a wagon with manual transmission and only 260K miles? Act quickly and negotiate…

Caddy Wagon in a Tasty Shade of Brown
Not too long ago, we featured the Linchero, a Lincoln/Ranchero combination likely used in funeral home service. Here we have another domestic luxury oddity that could well have been a ‘service industry’ car – a 1973 Cadillac Fleetwood station wagon. Unfortunately, the seller spends more time being defensive against potentially awkward Craigslist callers than describing…

Dream Pinto? Squire Wagon Four-Speed!
The seller provides some good info here an beg good questions: “When is the last time you saw an early 72 Squire in respectable condition and when might you see one again?” I don’t know I last saw a ‘nice’ Pinto Squire and I don’t know if I’ll ever see another, particularly a four-speed car.…

Massive Potential: Datsun 411 Wagon with Needs
I’ll come right out and say that I love the Datsun 411 Bluebird. This tiny sedan was designed by Pininfarina and has a lot of very cool design details, including a pretty amazing curved dash. The wagon body adds to this one. Just note the left rear corner damage and amateur repair. If you can…

Microcar and Wagon Rolled into One!
Microcars are just plain cool. Some day, I’ll squeeze one into the garage – it’s just a question of when and what. Something like this little Crosley Station Wagon could do nicely. This example, however, might be a bit more of a project than I want. That being said, this appears to be a fully…

VW Type 4 x 2
The Type 4 (411 and 412) was Volkswagen’s mid-sized offering in the late 60s and early 70s and was offered in three body styles: four-door sedan, two-door coupe and three-door wagon. Interestingly, the 411 was VW’s very first four-door sedan, although we are featuring the other two body styles today. This family of cars had…

Sportbak – Enough Said.
Yes, folks, it’s the infamous Nissan Pulsar Sportbak. The idea here was that the car could be used three ways – as a ‘mini wagon'(shown), a hatchback using a different hatch or open air with no hatch at all and the t-tops found on most, if not all, of these cars. Yes, this one comes…

A Vauxhall in the US? Yes, these were sold at Pontiac dealers once upon a time. Sadly, we don’t know the interior condition, but the exterior looks complete and this is even a left hand drive car. Click for Craigslist ad Baldwin Park, CA $2,995 The trim all appears to be present – paint…

Random Sighting: Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser
Here’s something you don’t see a lot of these days – Kids riding in the back of a station wagon in rear facing seats! These two were with their grandparents on a Wal-Mart trip and after stopping to chat about the unique seating configuration learned some history. This Vista Cruiser was bought new and they…
