Not really a gen x trait, though? Faux wood is a much older fad.

I think you have your generations confused. The wood-paneled station wagon was going out of style by the time baby boomers were reaching adulthood. By the time gen x'ers were old enough to get a drivers license, those things were already out of production.

Um not really, they were still around into the mid 90's Which I remember seeing all the time as a kid. Was a 91-96 Buick Roadmaster Estate station wagon.

Obviously you were just living somewhere that didn't want time to move forward. Wood paneling was not a thing in the 90s. Hell, not even in the 80s.

However, the craze had died down long before. If Gen X had actually liked the style, it would still be going pretty strong today. The heyday of the style was the 50s, which predates baby boomers driving, and 60s. The fact that somebody there were a handful of holdouts going into the 80s and 90s doesn't really bode well for the style.
