Title: Station Sedan or Station Wagon? Post by: Shayne on September 07, 2008, 06:38:02 PM I'm sure I've read it on this forum before, just can't find it in the search.
What is the derivation of Station Sedan and when did it change to Station Wagon? Thanks (and Happy Father's Day) Title: Re: Station Sedan or Station Wagon?

Not sure where the wagon came from probably USA ::)
In England station wagons and cars that look like them are called an "estate" and I've also heard some called a "shooting brake", I guess these were used for hunting with the hunter popping out of sunroof or similar. Here's a reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Station_wagon |
