Remember station wagons? If you’re under 25, probably not. They were the predecessor to the minivan and SUV as the staple vehicle of the American nuclear family. Today, someone might mistake the monsters featured in this 1955 advertisement as early generation Chevrolet Suburbans (they probably weigh as much); and as you can see, they can fit an entire Little-League baseball team inside.
And did you catch that there were nine Chevy station wagons on the market at that time? Talk about inviting ” analysis paralysis”.
