Prison Van comes to mind.

that could be interpreted as the first sports wagon sold in the rest of the world where as the Eagle was only available in North America. I dunno. Marketing huh. 

The answer would have to involve Hydropneumatic suspension. I offer the Citroen C6

Auto Zeitung has a lot of interesting quirky photos in their archive. I want to become a member just to download the photos of this Toyota Tercel 4wd that was driven over the English Channel with giant bigfoot tyres.

Divorce in 1970! Heresy!
Also, kids were the crumple zone.

The problems happened when they tried to make the flat 4 air cooled water cooled by adding a water jacket in the VW T3.

I’m not sure about the USA but in Australia. A lot of stuff went on roof bars (usually badly tied down), trailers were common to buy and rent as most cars were 6 cylinder and had tow bars and there were quite a lot of utes (el caminos) around.

Well houses were a lot smaller 50 years ago there is that but I guess glof clubs and suitcases are a fairly standardised unit. I imagine furniture purchases were rare as it was still expensive to buy furniture and was expected to last a long time so probably delivered before flat packing.

Pao vibes are strong

Citroen is ready for the dance battle

Did you not read “and practiced it for a long time” 15 years working including branding. Now working in other fields of design. Thanks for asking.

So Volvos only had there reputation as safe and solid only in 1959 onwards.. Uh OK. How did they sell so many amazons? Looks, performance? Perhaps you have a USA market only…

To be fair to Subaru they were making 4wd Wagons since 1970
In 1970, a Subaru dealership received a special order request from the Tohoku Electric Power Company for Subaru to build an all weather vehicle with 4WD. The company was using Jeeps at the time. They were open to the weather, could not seal out the cold…

Note also Jesses Tercel 4wd Wagon that was the proto Aztec from 1983

I’ve studied design and practiced it for a long time. You are wrong. We are talking about cars here and brands like Volvo have a large amount of repeat buyers who even subconsciously would recognised the font which with slab serifs represent safety and solidity (why would they want to represent that?) . How many car…

Former Graphic Designer here.
Looks like it was phoned in by two different teams, Icon team - I think the Arrow is a little thick in relation to the circle. Font Team, I’m glad you kept the slab serif font (Volvo Broad font?). As I’ve always liked its strength. but this lighter version is a little to spaced for me. I”m…

Or a great spot for a porta potty for when you didn’t pack enough astronaut diapers on your roadtrip https://people.com/crime/astronaut-love-triangle-lisa-nowak-life-10-years-later/

But we aren’t talking about FCA are we. VWs that work great out of warranty (I’ve had one out of three) are the anomaly here. FCA doesn’t market itself as being technically superior like the Germans try and BTW - you are trying to pen the whole of FCA reliability on a junior engineer?

Quite popular in Australia for a while only remember them in silver. The other popular model was the Jumbuk Ute.
