The FASTEST American WAGONS of the 1960s: Family Cars With Muscle Power

The fastest American wagons of the 1960s were anything but ordinary family cars. During the horsepower wars, Detroit was willing to put enormous V8 engines into almost everything, including full-size station wagons built to carry six, eight or even nine passengers. Some could be ordered with 427s, 429s, 440s and high-performance Pontiac engines, while one incredible wagon was essentially a factory-built drag racing machine disguised as a family car. In this video, we explore 10 of the fastest American station wagons of the 1960s, using their most powerful factory configurations and comparing horsepower, 0–60 MPH acceleration and top speed. You'll see machines like the Pontiac Bonneville Custom Safari, Ford Country Squire, Chevrolet Caprice Custom Estate, Chrysler Town & Country, Chevrolet Impala Wagon, Dodge Coronet Wagon, Ford LTD Country Squire, Chrysler New Yorker Town & Country, Pontiac Tempest Super Duty Wagon and Buick Invicta Estate Wagon. These cars prove that long before performance SUVs existed, America was already building family vehicles with genuine muscle car DNA. Which one would you choose for your garage today?
