The first station wagons were a product of the age of train travel. They were originally called depot hacks because they worked around train depots as hacks. This was short for hackney carriage which was an old name for taxis. They also came to be known as carryalls and suburbans. The name station wagon is a derivative of depot hack. A depot hack was a wagon that carried people and luggage from the train station to various local destinations. Prior to mid 1930s hardwoods were used by most automotive makes in framing the passenger compartments of their passenger vehicles. The framing for automobiles was sheathed in steel which was then covered in colored lacquers for protection. Eventually all steel bodies were adopted because of their strength, cost and durability. Early station wagons evolved from trucks and were viewed as commercial vehicles along with vans and pickup trucks. The framing of the early station wagons was left unsheathed because of the commercial nature of the vehicles. Early station wagons were fixed roof vehicles and lacked the glass that would enclose the passenger compartment. They only came with bench seats. In lieu of glass side curtains of canvas could be unrolled. More rigid curtains could be snapped in place to protect passengers from the elements outside. The first factory built all steel station wagon in North America was the 1946 Jeep Station Wagon. It was Based upon the rugged Jeep produced by Willys-Overland during the war. The Willys was a two-door vehicle and in premium trim had its passenger compartment exterior painted. Since it was Jeep based some considered it more of a utility vehicle than a real car. Chevrolet introduced in 1935 the first Chevy Suburban. It was an all steel station wagon body but it was built on a truck or commercial chassis. During 1947, the small car manufacturer, Crosley introduced an all steel car based wagon. In 1949 Plymouth introduced the first all steel station wagon being the two door Suburban. Buick was the last automobile manufacturer to produce a station wagon with a true wooden structure in 1953. By 1955 only Ford and Mercury offered a woody like model. The look was accomplished with steel, plastics and various materials. Known as the Ford Country Squire this heavily trimmed fullsize wagon was a staple of the Ford line from the 1940s to the 1990s.
