Nowadays, if someone wants a family car, they buy a behemoth of an SUV. But Escalades or Armadas didn't exist in the '70s, so folks back then bought station wagons and other boats of cars.
The '70s was also the golden age of parking, when enterprising young couples took their shows on the road.
Put together the needs of the family and the possibility of starting a family, and here are 20 big '70s cars, from the days when a big back seat was absolutely necessary.
