“The larger station wagons—embellished with wood paneling, because what says “aerodynamics” like trees—used to have a jump seat next to the tailgate that could be folded up or down as needed. The seat faced backward and had no safety restraints or head support. To sit in the way-way back was to position oneself inches away from the potential of being showered with broken glass and punctured with jagged steel. Also? Just imagine how it must have creeped out other motorists to see a row full of doomed kids staring at them.”
