Wagons are cool nowadays, in a way that they never were when new. But all that metal and glass inevitably makes them quite a bit heavier than coupe or convertible versions of the same car, and thus quite a bit slower. This 1958 Plymouth Sport Suburban for sale on Hemmings.com, however, benefited from the start by its optional dual-quad V-8, which should provide enough power to keep up with traffic as well as the Joneses. From the seller’s description:
