Sometimes I miss the huge station wagons of the '70s

But the prices are insane.

I agree....There's one for $4K and that's nuts they want so much...1970 Buick Estate Wagon....

I love the insanely stupid grill on the Griswald's wagon. highdesertranger

You can still find used hearses with the same roominess - if you can get over the initial queasiness of the idea. I actually saw one made into a camper, altho someone here suggested that, because it seemed to have a little extra height, ir may have been an old-timey ambulance. That would be a bit easier on the nerves.

I had a 1970 IH Travelall 4X4 for a few years in the mid 70s. Does that count as a huge station wagon? It had the IH 345 motor and automatic. Looked like a stretched Scout.

Wasn't that a IH TRAVELALL in "Every Which Way But Loose"?  I like those and the big Jeep Grand Wagoneers

Some consider the IH Travelall the ugliest stationwagon ever made, but it had it's beauty inside. It was a tough reliable vehicle.

When I was a little kid, one of my early memories is being in this green 1962-ish Lincoln Continental 4-door my mom useto drive. It barely fit into the suburban garage and when I was 5, she misjudged distance and put the front end through the back wall of the garage. To this day my dad still makes fun of her for it. In fact if you look at the back wall of the garage, you can still faintly see the outline of the repair area...

A few days after this event, she pulled up in a brand new Datsun wagon...
