Thinking about this question, and remembering how things were as the decade progressed, in general people were "movin' on up" in their lifestyles. It was a time of prosperity, people wanted bigger/fancier things.

Though the Malibu was a 'Mid-Size' Station Wagon, it was a strong Sales Competitor.

Mid 1960's > Changing needs in American Families, who wanted more Leg-Space, Cargo Area, plus Towing capabilities.

In 1967

Plymouth and Dodge didn't set the American Public on fire with Mid-Size Station Wagon sales.

A satisfactory level, but far from over-whelming.
