Shaking/vibrating at certain speeds 700 1986

I have a 740 wagon. Over the past few months the car seems to vibrate more. It only seems to happen at certain speeds (RPMs). It is noticeable the most right around 45-50 mph, where the tach shows something like 2500 rpm. The whole car shakes (feels like laterally, side-to-side) while at that rpm. Once it's out of range, it's not as noticeable. The steering wheel also gyrates rather rapidly. Is this a problem? If not, that's relieving, but still unsettling :) Oh, the tires were replaced in July, and I noticed the alignment is a little off (not enough to bother me... I can still drive about 100 feet on a straight road before having to correct). Would this cause the problem, or is it bad in the long run to have the car even slightly out of alignment?

Thanks.
- Alan
