The station wagon is one of the most popular motor vehicles in the country today after a strong comeback in the 1990s. The automobile was incredibly popular in the 1960s and 1970s for families of four or more. Children would fight over who got to sit in the back seat for one reason; the back row of seats faced the opposite direction of all the other seats. This meant that anyone sitting in the back row of seats would be looking out the back window of the vehicle at the cars driving behind it. The car wasn't as popular in the 1980s but exploded onto the scene again in the mid 1990s and early 2000s.
The design and appearance of the station wagon has gone from an almost boxlike appearance to a more rounded off and sleek appearance over the years. The design and appearance of the automobile has helped to grow its popularity once again. The majority of these vehicles are just modified sedans that have the interior expanded to seat more people. In a station wagon there is no designated trunk area like in a sedan. The back row of seats can be folded down to create storage space for shopping trips and even for a dog to rest. Most station wagons these days can seat anywhere from seven to nine people at once, if all of the rows of seats are in use.
Even though station wagons have become popular again, none of them are manufactured with the reverse rear row of seats facing out of the back window. All of these cars now have front facing rows of seats. The first version of the vehicle came about in the 1920s and 1930s and was originally called depot hacks and was a product of the age of train travel. One of the most popular versions of the automobile was the Pontiac Woodie. The Pontiac Woodie was one of the sleekest station wagons on the market during its time. The Woodie had wood sides on either side of the car and a colorful front.
Station wagons have been manufactured in all shapes, sizes, and colors over the years. Some station wagons looked more like a box while others looked more like a hearse. One of the most popular station wagons from pop culture was the one decorated and used by the Ghostbusters in their movies. The automobile was white with their logo on the doors and a bunch of lights and equipment on the roof. The Ghostbusters station wagon was named the Ecto 1 for the movies. Another popular station wagon from pop culture was the one used by the Griswold family in the National Lampoon series of movies.
Station wagons have been manufactured to seat anywhere from four to nine people; they can be two doors, four doors, and even six doors on some models. The popularity of the car has since begun to drop again in North America, including the United States and Canada
