10 Most-Expensive Wagons of 1990

Wagons of 1990
At $26,500 including destination charge, the Peugeot 505 Turbo SW8 was the 4th most-expensive wagon available to American shoppers in 1990.

It is Consumer Guide managing editor Rick Cotta who first began noting vehicles that are turning 25 years of age, and thus becoming “classic.”

In Illinois, home to Consumer Guide Automotive© and Collectible Automobile magazine, a car is officially an antique when it crosses the quarter-century line.

With the two-and-half-decade benchmark in mind, I present here 10 wagons that will soon qualify in some states for highly coveted antique or collector-car status.

Are these cars truly collectible? That’s for you and the old-car-buying public to decide. That said, given what seems to be renewed interest in Eighties-era big sedans and wagons, I wouldn’t count these long-roofs out.
