Wagon Wednesday: 1973
(complementing “coupe”d-up Monday)
Dodge Polara: last of the 4th generation (1969-73) & last of the nameplate, which dated back to 1960; the Monaco replaced it in 1974
Ford LTD Country Squire: 1st of a new breed of LTDs, this model represented a major redesign from the prior year
Impala (& Caprice): Wait! Where’d the back door go? Introduced in 1971, the clamshell design featured a retracting rear window (into the roof) & lower section (into the body)
GM was the most interesting. Dodge the best looking. Ford the most gawky and 70s tacky, but it had those way-cool dual-facing rear seats, which could seat 4 kids easily,
The FORD Country Squire was the BEST looking of all of the wagon lines and model years…with the possible exception of the 1964-1967 Buick Sport Wagon with the Skyroof!
