This posting in the vehicles thread hits pretty close to home for me, as my parents had a 1954 Ford wagon for several years. I *think* it was a four door, though; both two- and four-door models were offered, and I believe the two-doors were more popular (go figure.) Ours did not have the fancy roof rack or seat belts, of course.

I believe we did at least one coast-to-coast (Virginia to California) trip with parents, three kids and a large dog in the '54 Ford. No air conditioning or cruise control, of course. No interstate highways, either. It was definitely another era.
