Station Wagon?

It's not a station wagon, it's not even a CJ 5.

 

Yeah, this is NOT a 'station wagon', in spite of it's roof shape. Although, if it had a drop-down tailgate, like some of them did (I think - ?), there could be an argument made.

 

No... its not a long roof

 

Actually, those are considered a wagon same as the Broncos were back then. When Broncos first came out in 1966 they had three versions by VIN designation: U13 was the Roadster which had no top or doors, U14 was the Pony or Halfcab which had a top that only went past the front seats, and the U15 was the wagon which had the full top that covered the entire interior area. I'm guessing they used the term wagon to fit into the few body style designations that were available back then before terms like SUV came into use.
But I agree, some dummy wrote that add.

 

I could see calling a Wagoneer a "wagon" but a Jeep is a Jeep. In certain circles calling that CJ a wagon will result in a beating.

 

Oh trust me, I know! Lol. Still my CJ7 was classified on the title as a wagon. I don't remember if the Wrangler versions were or not. I'll check the title on my son's TJ tonight for giggles.

Only explanation I can come up with on that classification is that the occupant and cargo area are all covered under the same enclosure.

Made me think. Maybe it's a regional thing in that if it has a rear hatch, it's a wagon?

 

Got me curious now. Just checked on the 76 Bronco I had and it was classified a station wagon also. Going to check the Barracuda too when I get home. They had a open cargo area behind the rear seats then a removable partition behind that for the trunk, but no hatch.

I had a maroon Dodge van and the title said RED. Check your titles. What is written there has nothing to do with what you are driving.
A CJ can be used for off roading or like a sports car. But it sure ain't a sports car!

Ahhh, but only us distinguished connoisseurs of the wagon world know what a true wagon is and I doubt that most people don't know or care. And that is why were are concerned about this Jeep categorized as a wagon. The TRUTH must be told.:2_thumbs_up_-_anima

 

Yes, very true. But the insurance/title/registration thing CAT brought up is legit . A girl I briefly dated in my teens, her parents had a Club Wagon 3/4 ton van, similar to this.....




We had a 77 Ford cargo van that dad and myself camperized from new and registered as a RV, where I live cars have 3 letters/3 numbers on a license plate, trucks and vans have 2 letters/4 numbers per plate yet our van as a RV and her parents "Club Wagon" had the car plates because.... we were a titled "RV" and her parents van WAS titled as a "Station Wagon" due to the rows of seats...... I do remember that yearly insurance was lower because of this.......


So I 100% agree ( I'll never live this down:banghead3:...) with Cat re titles...."What is written there has nothing to do with what you are driving.

 

Yes that thing on the right is something else. Mine was blue but I can't say on here what else mine was!
Not a station wagon!
