About The Family Station Wagon

The family station wagon was a whole world on wheels. Wood-paneled sides caught the morning sun as the cooler was wedged in beside the luggage, and whoever claimed the way-back seat staked out the best view of the highway horizon. A paper road atlas rode shotgun, folded and re-folded at every state line, the family dog pressed warm against the blanket between the kids.
