I don't know if this is posted (and I'm not gonna look thru all these pages)

On the first 'Back to the Future' movie, when Michael J Fox is sitting on the park bench with 'jenny' and they are about to kiss, and that woman hands them a 'Save the Clock' flyer, and her dad pulls up, well he pulls up in an Eagle Wagon.

In the movie Boogie Nights, when Mark Walbergh's character runs off from home, you can see a Pacer wagon in the driveway (
Great movie by the way)

In the TV movie "Pirates of Silicone Valley" about the rivalry between Apple and Microsoft from the early 70's into the 90's there is a Spirit in the scene when Steve Jobs goes to visit his daughter when she is 6 or 7.

Mike Damone on Fast Times at Ridgemont High had a green Gremlin. And another one that comes is the Waynes world Pacer. In The Great Outdoors John Candy had a wagoneer..the movie was made in 88 though  so there is a possibility it may have been a chrysler model.

In one of Michael Moore's films (I think it's 9-11) where it shows a very young George W going to work, he's driving a blue, I think one of those denim, Levis Gremlins.

On Victorious, the girls are trashing the janitor's AMC wagon.
It could be a Concord or Hornet. Not an Eagle.
