Wagonmasters

Station wagons were America's "workhorses on wheels." Today, they conjure images of outdated family photos, over-sized hairdos and unfashionable wooden siding. The oil crisis in 1973 was a turning point for these once fashionable and prestigious vehicles and they quickly disappeared from the market. Some people, however, still cling to what they stand for in American culture. WAGONMASTERS offers glimpses into the lives of such wagon enthusiasts, and tells the story of the station wagon as it represents a changing America over the last century.
