    Hey Wagoneers!

    Here's one to challenge you-
    Which of the Big Three/AMC made the last production wagon with a man. trans?
    Specify column or floor shifter, three or four speed.
    Extra points if photos included!:2cents:

    I'm not sure it's the last, by I had an '81 Mercury Lynx station wagon with a 4-spd on the floor! (you didn't say it had to be a full-size!) IMG_2141.JPG

    I'll go with the 2007 Ford Focus ZXW, available with a 5-speed manual.

    2014-15? Cadillac CTS-V wagon with a six speed on the floor.
    The last older model "real" wagon with V-8, RWD, and a manual trans I remember offhand is the 1981 Malibu.

    Ford full-size wagons: You could have a Six and a three-in-the tree in 1972,but that was the last one. In 1963,you could have a 4-speed in a wagon,but not with anything meaner than a 390. XL interior too.
