Default Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons

When I was a kid (thousands of years ago), and happened to see a 2-door wagon for the first time, I said to myself; Why would anybody want to buy a wagon that can haul a boatload of people, who would all need to crawl over the driver and front passenger to get in the car? (basically same thing I felt about 2-door non-wagons with a backseat).
Much later on, it came to mind that a 2-door wagon might just be a brilliant strategy in marketing/competitivity. Here, you can have three backseat passengers if needed, without the extra expense of two back doors AND have the ability to fold down the back seat into a large cargo area when needed also. I would assume that the 2-door wagons would have been less expensive than the 4-door wagons?
