1923 Ford Model T Station Wagon
01
Artifact Overview
The "station" in "station wagon" refers to a railroad depot. In the early 20th century, resort hotels and spas often used these roomy vehicles to shuttle their guests to and from the train. The first Model T station wagons used chassis and powertrains from Ford, but bodies came from outside builders. Ford didn't offer complete factory-built station wagons until 1929.
