5.0 out of 5 stars Great ! An excellent tribute to the American Station Wagon, May 8, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Beverly, Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

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,

5.0 out of 5 stars True reflection of the station wagon's legacy, April 17, 1998

By A Customer

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.

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.
