    Only seen in a few episodes, but the Flying Nun had a woody wagon for the convent.
    Seem to remember it being a '46 Ford and painted an ungodly pink.

    They had a very old (even for the 1970s) station wagon in "One Day at a Time". No idea what it is:

    The only really famous station wagon from a TV series or a movie at any time is the Family Truckster.
    What other station wagon was basically the star of a movie or TV show?

    Does it count if the show took place in the 1970s? As in "That 70s Show"? Hello Wisconsin!

    Basically the only vehicle for a Stepford Wife is a big, wood grained Detroit special. It's not like she could drive a Karmann Ghia or a Porsche Roadster, right? :)

    Movie / TV wagons I remember.......
    Sky King drove a series of Chrysler Town & Countrys in the show, similar to this '55 New Yorker:
    [​IMG]

    In the last year of the show ('59-'60?), He apparently drove a Buick (although I don't remember this one):
    [​IMG]

    The early 60's TV show 'Hazel' about a family's maid (Shirley Booth) was sponsored by Ford, and it always had a Country Squire in the driveway.
    [​IMG]

    Who can forget the opening credits scene of the show, 'Then Came Bronson', in which the suit in the Polara wagon looks over at Bronson on the m/c, and says something to the effect of "Wish I was you....."
    [​IMG]
    And Bronson goes, "Well, hang in there.........."

    Here's the 'Fantasy Island' modified Volare; wagon, by the way......
    [​IMG]

    Brady Bunch wagon - '69 Plymouth Satellite:
    [​IMG]

    Not a regular part of the show, but here's a '59 Edsel in TV's 'Dennis the Menace':
    [​IMG]

    The Lawrence Welk Show would run LIVE commercials featuring the shows singers.......
