That 990 Cross Country is fabulous!  Back in the day, an aunt of mine was friends with the Birmingham (AL) Rambler dealer and his family.  The dealer's wife drove a white 1965 990 Cross Country with bucket seats and the thickest shag carpet I had ever seen in a car.  I don't remember if there was an operating console (although I want to say that there was) and I can't remember if there was any woodgrain on the exterior (AMC might not have offered any in '65).  I thought that car was to-die-for.  Definitely a one of a kind.

I have to ask Mom what year was Dad's wagon, we had nothing but Rambler/AMC cars our whole lives....I know we had air, no power windows, but the rear window was powered....I can remember always riding in the far back, that was my domain....I loved my Eagle Wagon, you could pack just about anything in there and go anywhere, compared to the compact cars...

blankets, towels and cooler...you were heading to the beach.....

lumber, plywood......and you were redoing a room.....

great times and memories.....

wagons seemed to give way to MiniVan's and SUV's....

memories too of my Aunt's Buick Roadmaster Wagon......that thing was a dream to drive...probably the only GM I ever liked
 
Those Roadmasters were great - I remember a couple who owned one…huge, luxury wagon.

A buddy of mine's parents had a Rambler wagon..64 or 65, but not remembering exactly. We'd cruise Woodward Avenue(one of the two strips that were filled with mid-60's and late 50's cars on Frid/Sat nights).
We would fold down the front seats forward and sit on top to look taller and (we thought) older than our 17 years. lol. I like many of the Rambler/AMC's(certain years) - especially the wagons.
 
Forgot how long ago when I was a kid, that I pretended the big red velvet couch in the living room was "a red Rambler station wagon" and somehow referenced how my mom crashed my grandpa's Dodge Dart station wagon into a tree, citing how I did the same thing--well, "wrecked it", I would say--making my own alliteration, though not in any sort of Elmer Fudd-like vernacular... ("Wecked the Wambler Station Wagon!")

Wagon Lover Here!

I am a BIG wagon fan and am SO jealous of those in Europe and U.K. where they have such a LARGE selection of wagons (or estates as they call them there). There are precious few choices in the U.S. these days as most Americans are in love with SUV's and CUV's and have no interest in "old fashioned" station wagons.

My 2003 Passat wagon (purchased in August of 2002) is still going strong and I have no intention of giving it up until something better comes along. I like the new 2015 VW Golf Sportwagen TDI but am not happy with the lack of interior color choices and options (like Homelink, for example).

My family owned one wagon when I was growing up (a 1950's Plymouth, as I recall) but it was totaled in an accident (luckily, our injuries were minor). I can only hope wagons make a come-back in the U.S. before I die!

Here's a pic of the Plymouth

Finally found this pic of the one and only wagon my family owned when I was growing up.
My Dad bought it for my Mum to drive.
When we had the accident that totaled it, my then baby brother's baby carrier was tossed to the floor and he needed several stitches in his head.
No seat belts that I can recall....

Bill:

what about the Ford Flex... it totally channels a vintage US wagon of the '60s, has tons of space, and looks like, and is, a classic station wagon. Reminds me of my first car, a '63 Ford Country Sedan!
 
Thankfully, Bill, that huge hunk of steel kept all of you alive before there were ever air bags and seat belts. That Plymouth is a 53 or 54 as it looks like it has a one piece windshield. That looks like an early 60's Falcon in front of it. My family had a 51 Plymouth sedan that was a second vehicle and was driven into the ground with well over 100K on it. Our good car was always a new full size Ford wagon, mostly a Country Squire. My first car was a 63 Rambler Classic 660 wagon. Burned more oil than gas and didnt have the power to get out of its own way.[this post was last edited: 6/21/2015-20:58]
 
I'm also a wagon lover here. Ever since I was a child I've loved them since the day my gram traded a 79 Impala on an 86 Cavalier wagon.
I'm on my second wagon now, a 1995 Buick Roadmaster Limited Estate Wagon. It is the last of the true full size wagons.

I have my eyes on what I'd want as a replacement wagon, though I know it won't hold nearly as much cargo. The Audi Allroad Quattro wagon

The Hoggatts, who were friends of the family, always got a new Ford Country Squire every year until the end. The husband was one of the top people at Ford. For some reason, I especially liked the '68 they had, which was Yellow. It had the dual-facing rear seats, and the 3-way tailgate.
 
Ovr, nay I say, Nay. The ultimate dream wagon would be the Mercury Colony Park with the brocade seats! OMG! Dear old Dad came home with a 68 Park Lane after the 67 Toronado shit the bed. The 67 wasn't quite as bad as the 66 which blew a power steering hose and burned up on the dealers lot. Dad had just finished "starring" in a commerical for the local Old's dealer!
