THF211200 / 1958 Plymouth Cabana Station Wagon
01
Artifact Overview
Built by Ghia, the Plymouth Cabana concept car debuted in 1958. The four-door wagon had room for nine passengers. Cabana's hardtop styling, without a B pillar between the doors, provided easier access to the interior -- advantageous for use as an ambulance or a hearse. Cabana was purely for show and lacked a functional powertrain.
