The Most Iconic and Memorable Movie Cars to Ever Hit the Silver Screen

National Lampoon's Vacation 1979 Ford LTD Country Squire

Clark Griswold and his family set out on a familiy vacation in their classic wood-paneled station wagon. The “Wagon Queen Family Truckster,” or a heavily modified Ford LTD Country Squire, played a big role in the film. There was reportedly 5 total station wagons used in filming. In 2013 Mecum offered one of the film-used cars for $35k but it didnt sell. It then showed up on Hemmings with a $39,900 price tag. As the car salesman said when Clark made this unwanted purchase, “You think you hate it now, wait ’til you drive it.”
