To those who have a desire in talking this vehicle down, here are some things to consider.
We play the car game as a method to enjoy something we find engaging.
Part of that includes relatability in order to tap something in our mind bringing about memories…usually fond memories.
This type of station wagon is what we knew…maybe not this literal version, maybe not a specific brand, but I am pretty sure we can all find some type of Oldsmobile Cutlass based wagon in our past…My friends mom drove a 1971 Vista Crusier. My mom drove a 1968 Ranch Wagon. Another friends mom drove a 1970 Kingswood Estate. My aunt drove a 1972 Town and Country…Wagons were everywhere like modern SUV’s are today.
While we may not have literally owned or driven a Cutlass based wagon, we probably had exposure in some fashion and thus, we have some type of memory and relatability towards this type of wagon.
The relatability even gets deeper when you consider things like movies and TV shows.
For instance “That 70’s Show” (aired from 1998 – 2006) showcased a 1970 Vista Crusier as the Foreman family vehicle in many episodes…and Eric eventually gets to drive the wagon….thus exposing a whole new generation to the relatability of the full sized station wagon.
This type of vehicle is what parents used to take ALL the kids to whatever they were doing, which usually included picking up others along the way because a Boy Scout Troop of one kid is kinda lame, so the other kids piled in and went to the thing with mom or dad.
This type of vehicle is what many were handed when they got their first license, meaning you and ALL your buddies piled in and went to do that stupid sheeit you just had to get done.
This type of vehicle is what many drove when experiencing that first kiss…or more. What better way to utilize the vast cargo area?…not that the front and back seats are lacking mind you.
If you are of the age, ranging from old enough that you purchased one brand new, all the way to being driven somewhere as a kid in a well used clunker decades past the build date, you have some type of connection to a vehicle like this…….We relate to these, in whatever manner you choose, because they were part of the culture.
This makes a station wagon like this very popular in car culture relatability….even if you do not have a desire to have one of your own.
The fact this is a stripped down version only showcases the realities of the era because the vast majority of family cruisers were not the big block, fully equipped, highest trim level versions….They were some version of slightly optioned standard vehicles….like this one.
I have had the luck to take some very special vehicles to many different events and I can say, without hesitation, if you have not yet experienced the potential a wagon like this has, I suggest you give it a try.
Just be sure you are the welcoming type open to stories, hugs, photos, new parents trying to show their kids something from the past and seekers who want to try and relive a tiny portion of something they hold dear.
The fun I had with my 1971 Ford Country Squire far exceeded anything I would have guessed.
No, these are not highly agile sports cars, big block 4spd muscle cars, or hyper expensive super cars…but they do hold a place in our memories because they were everywhere from about 1960 to 1985. Thus giving them relatable value and desire on some level.
