This Classic ’80s Woody Wagon Is For Sale In Michigan
The year is 1988. You and your older brother are in the "way back" of your family's woody station wagon on the bench seat that faces the back window. You're surrounded by a sea of brown.
Childhood Memories in the Way-Back
You’ve just grabbed ice cream at Sherman's Dairy in South Haven, Michigan, when—oops!—you hit a bump and your chocolate cone smacks the car’s ceiling, leaving a mark the two of you will forever joke is poop... Your parents beg you to stop saying that when other people are in the car.
Life is good.
This is a real memory from my childhood! Do you have some like that? Oh, and road trips in that station wagon were the best! We’d fold all the seats down in back, and my brother and I would sleep the whole way Up North.
