Lou, Yes it is true, WE the viewers have asked for more wagons. These were the family workhorses of the day and few have survived. Frank, you are correct about carrying 4X8 sheets of plywood, today's fancy pickups with 5 foot beds certainly cannot carry a full sheet. I hope we see more wagons on Lou's channel in the future.

My father had one of these 1970 Plymouth Sport Suburbans (it was white); he bought it from the original owner in 1976. I still remember that car in vivid detail, including that rear tailgate. The car was quiet, smooth and had plenty of power. It had a cavernous interior, offering a level of comfort in a car we none of us had ever experienced before. The car was incredibly rich with features, lots of options. I particularly enjoyed the steering wheel, as this was the first car I drove where the steering wheel did not intrude into my line of sight. It's wonderful to see an example of these in such great condition.

In 1971 they had Chevy Biscaynes with 454’s, then from ‘72 thru ‘78 they had the Fury’s with the 440’s. They were all cool cars & they sounded great. Good Day to You!

my mother drove a 1970 Fury Sport Suburban (this same year model) in Sandpebble Beige (with the vinyl wood paneling - standard with Sport Suburban - it was the second of 4 Sport Suburbans my dad purchased over the years from Holley Motor Company in Tyler, Texas as we owned several Plymouth wagons beginning with a ‘68 model, the ‘70, a ‘72 with the Brougham option and finally a ‘75 Gran Fury Sport Suburban. We also owned a new ‘66 Belvedere II 318 V8 powered 3-seat wagon. Our ‘70 model was equipped with the 383 2 barrel engine like this Rallye Red one and also had the displacement badges on the raised hood sections - the optional hood-mounted turn signals were also located on top of these raised sections. The 440 4 barrel engine was definitely an option on Sport Suburban. The “tailgate assist handles” as they were called were a $19 option that year. A unique and stylish option - they were available on all Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth full sized wagons - and some mid-sized - from the late 1950s through the 1977 model year and were a Chrysler Corporation exclusive option. The concealed headlights on our Sport Suburban also worked with the optional time-delay feature which allowed the operator to turn off the engine first then the headlights so that they remained on for 90 seconds - allowing a dark driveway or garage to remain illuminated. The headlight doors were electrically powered (unlike Ford’s vacuum-powered ones) 1970 Plymouth wagons could be quite luxuriously equipped - this one has the optional and fairly rare power windows. Dual air conditioning was an expensive and somewhat rare factory option but was quite effective in cooling 2nd and 3rd seat passengers - also a Chrysler Corporation exclusive option. A tailgate window/washer system was also available. Our Sport Suburban was equipped with the wheel covers shown in the sales brochure with the textured black center sections.

It was painted this crazy green with a black hood roof and tailgate. But that car drove forever. Had it for several years and really only got rid of it because I wanted a change. I still love wagons. So many memories as a kid going for a Sunday drive with the family and my sister's and I would lay in the back as my dad drove down country roads.

My fathers friend from work owned it and I got the tour and I was jealous for sure. LOL. I love Wagons from Falcon woodies to monsters like these. The outrageous fined wagons from late 50’s to early 60’s are neat. I think most love wagons because of the relation most had.

Lou!!!! Thanks for this wagon! When I was 8, my best friend in the world's family had one of these but not the sports addition. We did two Halloween, trick-or-treat commutes, off the back tailgate. Plastic pumpkins of loot went to the floor boards of the back seat and we sat on the tailgate, as his Dad sped from house to house, in the outback of rural Washington State. I mean, you can't expect his Dad to put up with kids slamming his wagon doors, now could you? His Dad had us four boys arm in arm, with big brother's seated on the out board ends of the tailgate, grasping the grab bars for dear life. So, that answers the question of what the grab bars are for: kid safety. LOL. It's amazing I'm still alive or not seriously brain damaged from the Union 76, leaded gas, everyone believed was superior to the unleaded stuff the government was cramming down our throats. But, there's something about a rig where kids weren't in a foot race for "who's gonna ride shot gun?" The foot race was all about "who's gonna watch the world pass them by in reverse?" I think I still have bruises on my shoulder from the punch wars to entitle us to the rear facing back seat. Thanks for brining a big part of peoples lives to KZbin. Very cool rig

We had a '70 Town and Country, which was the Chrysler version of this car. It was a land yacht for sure, but it had the 383 4 barrel and was pretty quick, in spite of its weight. Eventually, my father sold it to a guy who lived across the street. One of the saddest days of my life was coming home and seeing it with the rear end smashed in like an accordion after being hit by a semi.

You'd be surprised at how many people currently don't know about the steering wheel lock function on their cars. Every week we get a call from someone saying their ignition key wont turn. They always ask the same thing, "When did they start putting locks on the steering wheels?" I always tell them "since the late 1960's." We used to get calls several times per week but now that the cars mostly come with push button start systems the calls have slowed down.

My Mom had a Green '63ish Valient wagon when we lived in Hawaii, when we moved I was 8 we moved to Vanc B.C. we loaded it up (it was jammed) took it to the pier and it was driven onto the SS Canberra, that simple, Mom used it for years loading her art supplies in it for outings/trips and classes, when we moved over to the Island in 1970/71 a couple years Mum bought a '66 maybe 67 Plymouth Bellvedere we had lots of trips/picnics all over the Island in it, all the way down the U.S Coast and came across to Eugene and back up the I5...we slept in it where ever we pulled off ..at the beach or Campground, that slant 6 225 was a real workhorse Haha we even saw Sammy Davis Jr in his little sports car-on the Freeway coming back up the I5 heading home ...we waved at each other he smiled Big, and gave us his Peace✌ and Right on✊ ...he knew he wanted a stationwagon😂hahaha well, maybe not but you can't buy memories like that, I still like the looks of them... ...my Uncle used to get one every 3 years from the Burnaby School Board as his own vehicle,(it was a Ford) he pulled his boat with, we'd tair it and go fishing all over the place ..."Ya' - wagons are Cool"

Ah, thanks for posting. My father purchased this same year-make-model new for our family. A few things differed in options for us: no power windows (except tailgate window), AM radio only and factory A/C as it was purchased out of Burlington, VT. An aftermarket unit was added a year later after we relocated to So. AZ. Ours was beige w/ the vinyl wood, and our interior was same pattern, but two-tone dark green with metallic olive inserts. Funny story, within the first month of owning it, my mother was driving me and my two siblings home in small town east of Burlington. I was in the rear facing third row (can't recall wearing seat belts until my senior yr H.S.) bouncing around. The rear window was down about ⅔ and I stood up at a stoplight to peek out when it started to drizzle. My mother hit the Up button while I was still standing catching me under my jaw and pinning my head to the upper jamb. I'm in a total panic flailing my arms, but cannot speak/scream as I my jaw is clamped shut. A vehicle trailing initially thought I was waiving to them before realizing I am in distress. It seemed like forever, but it was probably about a mile of travel before the following car passed and halted my mother, ultimately releasing me! To this day, I have symmetrical "dents" in my mandible (unseen, but you can feel them). I was all of 6 yrs old, and I learned a lesson; never stand into that open window! The Sport Suburban ended up being my first car and I hated it, so uncool! There were four things I appreciated about it though; I could load up all my buddies for carload pricing at our drive-ins, I liked the hideaway headlamps (the operation in this video us normal, very guillotine like!!), the turn indicators built into the forward end of the hood power domes, and the fact the car could do an honest 120mph...it took a while to get there, and there was some aero lift that made the steering light, jeeze I was such an idiot then...okay, more of an idiot then. Anyway, thanks for posting. It brought back a flood of memories, and now I kinda miss that big ol' boat. Oh, one last thing; mine had different hubcaps. They weren't quite as fancy as the pieces on this red wagon. They were full coverage dog-dish type with flat-ish bottoms painted matte black, and I think they had Plymouth Motor Corporation script around the black, or some form of that wording. Adios!

My parents had one of these and we traveled from Mn to the Washington state down to SF with 4 kids towing a trailer. My dad had big receiver hitch on it that would scrape everytime you'd pull out of a driveway. My mom once impaled an old impala wagon that ran a stop sign. It pushed the front corner bumper in an inch or so, but the impala couldn't move. That thing was a beast.

My buddy's family had a '73 Plymouth Suburban (I think it was still called that). They had the step bumpers, since they'd already gone to the giant 5 mph bumper requirements by then. At the same time, we had a '72 New Yorker. Both had the 440. We used to look forward to the days those cars would be ours, but dad sold the Chrysler and we moved before I got my license. My buddy did get his Plymouth for a while, though.

The beautiful sound of that engine cranking is unmistakably Dodge/Plymouth/Chrysler. The way that engine purrs is outstanding. Throughout the 1970's, our grandfather swore by Dodge, and wouldn't buy anything else... Then the mid-1980's came along, and he purchased two lemons, which drove him and our grandmother to switch to GM, and they never looked back. Chrysler products of the 1970's were built to last, and I think it's so sad we can't get that kind of quality back.

Hi Lou, Lou finally a Long Roof another term for station wagon. Imagine walking into your local Plymouth dealer & ordering this station wagon & taking delivery of it, you would be besides yourself. Cruising this cruiser down the road in the 70's listening to 70's music such as " Venture a Highway ". What a cruiser just so much real estate. A big car abit of an understatement for sure. I have a real soft spot for long roof my parents 1 st car was a 1969 VF Valiant Safari with the slant 6. I also have a long roof which I gave to my brother for his 40 th birthday. A 1970 VG Regal Safari V8 factory original with 66K original miles. Extremely rare, but you have to come to Australia so you can video it for your show. Great video a real treat, sipping my macha soy latte with my macha biscuit on a Sunday morning, great way to start a Sunday. Your number 1 Fan in Australia Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍

To use the 1970 vernacular, this wagon is totally GROOVY! With that fuselage styling, the woodgrain and those concealed headlights, the Plymouth design crew really outdid themselves with this baby. Of course, these were anything but babies when it came to size! They were absolutely humongous, inside and out, and even if the unibody did limit towing capability, the cargo space inside was pretty hard to beat. And when you see one of these big land freighters coming your way, there's just one word to say...GANGWAY!!!!! I've actually seen this wagon before, in Collectible Automobile magazine. It was shown as a photo feature in the October 2018 issue on pages 26-29. BTW, not only am I an avid wagon fan and a wagon owner--mine is a 1967 Pontiac Bonneville wagon--I am also the Historian of the International Station Wagon Club. Our newsletter is called the Talegate, and I write a column on station wagon history called "Haulin' History". As such, I can answer Mr. Troost's question of who was first with a two-way tailgate. It was Ford in 1966. They named it the "Magic Doorgate" and it was standard on all full-size Ford and Mercury wagons and all Fairlane and Comet wagons, and optional on Falcon wagons. Chrysler was next with their 1968 Plymouth and Dodge intermediate wagons, then their 1969 full-size wagons. Most GM and AMC wagons also had them installed in 1969. The full-size GM wagons then switched to the "Glide-Away" clamshell tailgate in 1971. So, Lou, if you're looking for more wagons to talk about and show to us viewers, our club is just the place to look! And perhaps Mr. Troost would also be interested in checking us out. I'm sure he and his Sport Suburban would be very welcome indeed! Thanks for sharing this fascinating Suburban story with us!

The ‘76 was a shade more orange and had the wood paneling like this one. It also had electric windows with the exact same buttons. So this one is like both of our cars put together. I would love to sit in the back of that car. It would be time travel.
