There was an A95 wagon and the A95 and Marshal were the same car, different badges. However, were not these mid-late 50's, not 60's-70's?

I can't recall whether Mack ever made a station wagon.

However they did make a "ute" so there is every possibility there is a station wagon 5 door out there somewhere.
If they did, chances are that the year model and also the engine size may disqualify them from this discussion.


Oh well, it was worth a try!

ZD-354 - lol...

Anyway - does anyone know if the humber super snipe was sold in AU in station wagon form???

I can't remember a wagon A95 either! I think they probably appeared right at the end of the fifties or 1960, as I can remember looking at one after the family had bought a new car (Simca Vedette) in late 1959, and I'm pretty certain it was not available to be considered when the family was shopping. As I had just got my licence, I was very interested in cars at the time (and had been for about ten years previously!).

There was definitely an A95 wagon but I can't remember if they were also badge engineered as a Morris Marshal. I wouldn't be surprised. BMC did it to everything else they made.

Austin vs Morris so different finishes. My father's Marshall wagon was a '58.

According to Wikipedia the Marshall was built from 1957 to 1960 and was an Australia only bit of badge engineering. So almost falls outside the original 60s - 70s specification for this thread.

Sorry can't help you there as I have only seen sedans.. BTW I recall a certain Pommy Lieutenant Colonel that had a personal one when I was employed at the Army Workshop at Moorebank... he had his own Humber S/Snipe in the workshop on so many occasions that we thought it was undergoing 'user trials' before acceptance by the Army... lol
