The short answer is that any bag can be installed on the roof of your 1995 Ford Escort Wagon with factory crossbars. You will have to look at the bag measurements to determine if they will fit in between the crossbars or if they will need to rest on top of the bars.
If a bag will have to touch the roof, I recommend making sure that the bottom of the bag and roof are both clean to avoid scratches. I also recommend using Non-Skid Roof Protection Pad, # RL100650. You will also want to consult the vehicle owners manual for the roof rack and roof capacity and make sure you do not overload it.
I have included a link to the bags that can be attached to crossbars. The Curt, # C18220, is a popular choice. I have linked a video and isntructions for you. I have also included a link to an FAQ on roof mounted cargo options.
