Shooting Brakes, Station Wagons, and Depot hacks

[Walt G]

I know we have a period photo thread/topic for pre war vehicles that people seem to enjoy - but I am starting this to be a bit more specific, kinda like Steve Moskowitz started the period race car thread.  The depot hack/shooing brake/station wagon were a bridge between the commercial transportation of buses and trucks to passenger cars. They held more gear, baggage, suit cases then the normal sedan - today are called SUV, derived from the mini vans.

This photo is of the Daimler built for King George V of England in the Spring of 1927. The image appeared in The Sportsman magazine which was a society periodical that covered subjects that "society" types enjoyed - pure bred dogs, special houses, gardens, clothes and of course cars.  the mention of this Daimler notes that the King was an ardent sportsman and uses this vehicle " to convey friends and hunting equipment from palace to countryside." 

If you can share with us some period photos or images of the shooting brake, depot hack or station wagons that you have.
