Chevrolet Brookwood

 

Before there were Sport utility vehicles, before there were minivans, there was the station wagon. They provided a great deal of service for the community then. They featured everything an SUV and a minivan provides now, they have the big space for cargo and passengers and they had the power. A station wagon was provided a full-size body to accommodate the whole family plus cargo. They have four passenger doors; the fifth door is in the rear for cargo entry, much like a hatchback. But unlike the hatchback, a station wagons rear is of the same height as in the front. The leveled roof provided for more vertical space for big cargo hauls.

The station wagon became popular in the era of trains. Many people would go to train stations with a whole caboodle of luggage’s and belongings. Many well-wishers tagged along so the space was really needed. The Station Wagon became very handy for that reason. As time went by, more and more families saw the potential of owning a station wagon and so they bought one for themselves.

Chevrolet saw the potential in that automobile segment so they started out their own series of station wagons. One of them is one of the more luxurious in the lineup, the Chevrolet Brookwood. The Chevrolet Brookwood came out in the middle of the twentieth century and provided the comfort, sophistication and amenities one could expect then from a top of the line Chevrolet Station Wagon.

The Chevrolet Brookwood came out with a V8 engine, which provided ample power for all the hauling it is expected to do. A then-new automatic transmission was also provided, making it one of the first Chevrolet station wagons to sport one. A variety of styles and models of the Chevrolet Brookwood came out as time progressed. There were even two doors Chevrolet Brookwood that were produced. Now, a good conditioned and restored Chevrolet Brookwood is considered a classic and many classic car enthusiasts would like to get their hands on one of them.
