I learned to drive in my dad's 1969 404 wagon. The rear cargo deck was mahogany and the front seats were very comfortable. The back seat was another story. With a 1.6L 80HP engine and three on the tree, its performance was...leisurely. And did it ever rust!
When he died in 2009 and his will (last updated in 1976) was read, he had left the car to me. By then it was long gone, though.
