There is no doubt that the 60s were one of the most aesthetically pleasing eras in human history. From clothing and music to technology, everything looked like it came straight from a movie. Even now, many of us enjoy having a look at vintage photos and imagining what life was like more than 50 years ago.
One of the iconic creations from 60s was the station wagon – a car that was able to fit the entire family and looked more like a limo than your ordinary car. Also, nobody had to wear seatbelts!

Scroll down to see what life was like when you were able to fit a kitchen in your car!

    This picture made me feel nostalgic pain in the heart. I do not even know why.

    This was so great! Seat belts? We didn’t need no stinkin’ seat belts! Lots more fun if you could move around. And we didn’t need them. The cars were built to withstand a nuclear explosion; plus we could trust our parents to drive safely. We all did finer, whiner!

    Totally unrealistic. No one's thrown up because of motion sickness and the kids aren't killing each other.

    Was this one of the models on which you could swing the tailgate to the side OR down? I remember thinking that was like magic!

    This Saab photo is from somewhere around Gothenburg. There is an incredible amount of Swedes that have their own boat. Lucky kids.

    I hate to break it to you, this is probably an early 90s photo.

    This was worth waiting 13 years for, they are worth a great deal of money now. I love things that I can fix!
