I don't know if there is any correlation or causality here, but the 1977 Ford Pinto Cruising Wagon was part shag wagon, part panel delivery, and part economy car all rolled up into one little rainbow runabout. The mag wheels, rear bubble window and wacky striping made it the funkiest Pinto Ford had ever produced and one of the most unique-looking offerings from any car builder of any era.

By 1977, there were no true muscle cars left on the market, there were a host of cars that tried to look the part, or at least look cool. The Cruising Wagon was an attempt to snag buyers who may have been looking for something that looked sporty and fun to drive, had some room to haul some stuff, and yet was still cheap on gas. If it was meant to help curb the steady retardation in Pinto sales from a high water mark of 544,209 in 1974, it failed, as production totals sagged to just 225,097 in ’77. Of those, only 10,029 were Cruising Wagons. The following year, only 5,329 CWs were built. After 1979, Ford had given up on the idea.

This clearly was inspired by disco. There is a direct link in the pathology of disco that can be traced back to shag carpet. It's all interrelated. The 70's were both awful and wonderful. It's just really hard to prove the wonderful part given the lingering evidence.

Most that think it was wonderful, cannot remember much except when they have a flashback.

The 70s was the greatest decade for Rock and Motown music. Disco was some kind of cosmic balancing force.

Being the age 12 in 79, I have some very fond memories of the 70's, and I have some very sad memories of the 70's

The 70s was the greatest decade for Rock and Motown music. Disco was some kind of cosmic balancing force.

I didn't realize it at the time because I had older sisters who did the disco thing, the older I got the more I found Rock of the 70's was pretty damn good

Retched (adi.) Word describing the vile, left-wing lies that make up 98% of the Washington Post reporting which cause non-socialists vomit.

But that is not an alternate definition.

Agreed about the rock and R&B music. But disco was Satan's revenge.

Cleaning is not expensive, we have a local cleaner that charges $3 per piece. It is alterations that used to be free have gone through the roof.
