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!

The Coleman stove and percolator bring back memories. You'd certainly have to clean up after dinner before you went to bed!

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

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!

Looks like the safety standards were really lax back then. (the baby etc.)

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

Yeah, let's put the kids in the back where it's safer.

Studies and tests have shown this position is actually safer in head on collisions. Lack of seatbelts, however, is another thing.

The crash test dummies were not born yet. Detroit had to settle for the human type to keep development costs down. They made safety design changes only after long bouts of litigation and their political cover dried up. Remember the Corvair?
