Station Wagons, Yooooo!

This is a great book with lots of pictures of station wagons as they developed over the years. I still have my station wagon, and I use this book at car shows, and to see what other types were made. There is also a very interesting section on camper station wagons, and special use vehicles. A fun book that brings back many road-trip memories.

Great ! An excellent tribute to the American Station Wagon

Great ! An excellent publication that pays tribute to an American icon - the Station Wagon -- from a positive/historical perspective. Americana at its best ! As an avid collector of Ford Station Wagons, it is nice to see some positive - long overdue - recognition of a fantastic piece of American history illustrated that provides the reader with a great perspective of the role and purpose that the American Station Wagon served over the years. Being a member of the "baby boom generation," ( age 50 ), I can clearly recollect the role that the American Station Wagon served. Best, Robert G. Swan

True reflection of the station wagon's legacy

Mr. Kowalke has captured the true feelings that most of us (baby boomers) have of these cars! The book is a fine tribute to a lost time in history that the minivan can never hope to achieve.
