Station wagon body style

With tens of body styles came station wagon as a mixture between sedan cars (with an extended rear cargo area and similarity in first A, B and C pillars ) and
Hatchback cars with two-box design

Despite station wagon cars classified as a luxury car but earlier were viewed as Commercial Vehicles by the first station wagon in production line named (star) by Durant Motors who added wooden wagon body to compete Ford model T but ford Motors itself enter in this market by Model A in 1929.
General motors make a huge leap by introducing the first all-steel station wagon body in 1935 to replace wooden bodies by 50's.
