Bill and Teds Bogus adventure.
Is yours the station sedan or ute Flamenco? I guess you got black too?
According to Wikipedia ( which may be wrong) the word station refered to railway station. A station wagon was for moving your luggage from the railway station to your "estate".
Station sedan seemed to get dropped by GMH for station wagon. I reckon the new sandman wagon should be the Sandman Station Sedan though. Makes as much sense.

Australia has land Stations, Yanks have Ranches and the Pommies have Estates. Thus; Station Wagon, Ranch Wagon and Estate Wagon.
Holden changed the name from Station Sedan to Station Wagon with the release of the HT. This is when the trade mark for Station Wagon was acquired from a Melbourne company that did Panel Van to Station Wagon conversion from as early as FJ. A full model before Holden released their first wagon the 1957 FE.
