Tell us your rear facing back seat station wagon stories!
Mopar family: How many of you recall riding in the rear facing back seat of your dad's Mopar station wagon back in the day? I sure do. My dad had a number of Mopar wagons through the years: A 1959 Fury wagon, a 1967 Fury wagon, a 1972 Fury Sport Suburban wagon, and a 1978 Dodge Coronet wagon. I spent A LOT of time in that rear facing seat with the back window rolled down, driving up to our cabin in northern Minnesota. Between the carbon monoxide fumes and my older brother's stinking feet in my face, it was an unforgettable experience. Here's a fuzzy shot from an 8 mm home movie, taken in the summer of 1970. I'm the guy in the brown shirt putting my little sister in the back seat through the rolled down rear window. This was my dad's 67 Fury wagon, with his brown 1964 Fury four door sedan in the foreground. How about you? What are your memories of sitting in the back seat, watching that striped centerline stretching out endlessly behind the car. Please share your stories. Thanks!
