  Station wagon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unlike a hatchback car, which otherwise meets this description, a station wagon is the full height of the passenger cabin all the way to the back; the rear glass is not sloped too far from vertical.
A station wagon is distinguished from a minivan (MPV) or SUV by still being a car, sharing its forward bodywork with other cars in a manufacturer's range.
This explains why station wagons were not updated for consecutive generations in a model's life in Japan: for instance, while a sedan might have a model life of four years, the wagon was expected to serve eight—the 1979 Toyota Corolla Wagon is an example (it was built until 1987).

 A station wagon history.....
We're not sure exactly when the term 'station wagon' generally replaced 'depot hack', but it was sometime between 1923 (with the introduction of the Star) and 1929, when the first station wagon from the American 'Big Three' was introduced as a Ford Model A.
Although Chevrolet had introduced the first all-steel station wagon body in 1935 (the first Suburban), followed later by Willys in 1946, both were still built off a truck chassis (the Chevy from a panel delivery truck chassis, and the Willys off a civilian version of the Jeep).
That is why station wagons of the 50's are held in such high regard by collectors and the general population alike.

 1995 Ford Club Wagon Car Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Like the Ford truck with which it shares so much hardware, the Club Wagon sports a carlike dashboard, full instrumentation (speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure, voltmeter, water temperature and fuel level, all done in Ford's simple and readable corporate style) and controls for audio and climate systems angled toward the driver.
When so equipped, the Club Wagon's ride is firm - though not at all unpleasant - and easier on the driver.
But all things considered, the Club Wagon is an impressive package, and arguably the best of the big boys from the Big Three.

The Little Red Wagon became a legend in its time as the first "wheelstander" back in 1965.
