3-way tailgate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A 3-way tailgate is a 2 way station wagon tailgate than can be opened in the following ways:
- opened sideways like a door with the glass up (new feature)
- sideways with the glass down (you were usually required to lower the window first)
- downwards like a gate.
The door and hinge mechanism was very heavy and sturdy. This was the most common station wagon tailgate arrangement at the end of the 1970s, and was less problematic than the retracting tailgate used in full size early 1970s GM wagons.
