AlbakiReads Editorial A photographic history of the American family wagon
A photographic history of the American family wagon
Covering 1950 to 1975, this compact automotive history places the station wagon within the changing suburban life of postwar North America. Norm Mort surveys the many makes and models that filled a market in which wagons served as both practical family transport and markers of a particular lifestyle. Around 100 images, supported by detailed captions and contextual text, draw on factory photographs, contemporary brochures and period literature alongside restored vehicles. The inclusion of rarer Canadian versions from American manufacturers broadens the picture beyond the best-known U.S. examples. It is a visually grounded reference to a defining body style and its social place across three decades.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Automotive-history readers interested in postwar North American vehicles
