Regulations or the Market caused Changes?
Reader comment on: How Regulation Killed the Station Wagon and Created the Minivan
Submitted by bea frank (United States), Jul 6, 2019 00:50
This article did not answer the question. Markets appeared to dictate the consumer change and not regulations. I grew with station wagons and learned to drive and parallel park with them. I remember driving 100mph in the Ford Country Squire outside Vegas on the family vacation while my parents were sleeping. Good memories.
