A 1959 Plymouth station wagon anchors this page from the December 9, 1958, issue of *Look*, with four smaller views of its interior arranged around it. Chrysler sold Plymouth as its popular-priced line, and the catalog headings tie the advertisement to family buyers, a common target as postwar suburban households grew. The color halftone reproduction is typical of the glossy weekly magazines of the period, and the interior close-ups show how automakers used comfort and cargo room to sell wagons alongside their exterior styling.
