We had a 1975 or 1976 Chevy station wagon. I have no idea what the model was - I didn't pay attention to those things as a child. It was a solid color - tan, I guess, or beige you might call it - but the body was remarkably similar to the car pictured above.

I did find this: The Griswold Family Truckster Just so you know the Wagon Queen Family Truckster in the National Lampoon movie is a 1979 Ford LTD Country Squire that has been modified by Warner Brothers, not by George Barris  Sepiatone |

So what's this thread about actually? About which car was used to make the Griswold station wagon in the VACATION movie?
Or station wagons in general?
I already gave the identifying info. And I'm wondering how the Volvo fits into any of this.

And I'm wondering how the Volvo fits into any of this. Sepiatone I took the question as what car model best reflects oneself, as a person. The Volvo model I listed was the car of The Saint, as played by Roger Moore. Yea, I think very highly of myself (ha ha). But seriously I picked that car, because I lean more towards a Euro centric viewpoint, (verses say, a US muscle car). |

Then by that criteria I'd pick what I own now------ 2005 Chevrolet Equinox  Not flashy, but not totally dull(I hope  ) Sepiatone  |
