We grow up, we get married, we have kids....poor guy

Going through some dealer records tonight.

Here's a guy that traded his 68 GTX for a 71 station wagon.....

Let's hope the wagon was for a tow car for his race car.

If he has kids he should've bought a 3 row wagon!

In another decade, but that guy seems to be the customer demographic that the Dodge Caravans with the "Sport Package" was designed for. Had the Charger alloy wheels, Eagle GTs, suspension upgrades, and ground effects on the sides. Trying to make a "minivan" acceptable to people who needed one and also wanted something different.

Different types of joy!

I saw that . You'd think he'd have at the least opted for an N code.

I get it. In 93 I sold my ‘89 Dodge Shadow ES Turbo after my first daughter was born. I bought an ‘87 Town & Country Turbo wagon to replace it. Gotta do what you gotta do.

These options were alot of money back in the day. Many people could barely afford the car payment without many options.

True, a big reason was most households were one income. Try surviving that way now!

You can do it, but you've gotta be frugal as all get out and very disciplined.

I had a 1972 Barracuda that I bought new when my son was born. I never saw a reason to sell it. I still have it. I never understood how much crap people have to drag around for one little kid. A lot of kids, that is a different story.

The documentation I have with my Fury lists a 49 Plymouth sedan being traded in on a new '58 Fury at the time... they didn't all go from great to lesser...

We're a one-income household and it works just fine. Better, in fact, as my son doesn't have to face an empty house after school (nor a crappy bus ride there and back...).

FWIW I'd rather have the wagon than the GTX... maybe the guy was like me and LOOOOVED fuselage car styling, which is accentuated to the max on the wagons!
