Smart move, do not cut up that 95/96 WB4 Buick Roadmaster wagon. Those of us that love these cars are watching their numbers shrink by the day. Rust free examples are getting very rare. The Buick Wagon had the vinyl "wood" stickers standard and had to be specifically ordered to not come with them. Far more of them have them than don't. Great score on getting Tad's wagon. Very well know in the 90s B Body community and a post has already been made on the SS forum, lol. Wanted to add that the "Big Mirror" that you have discovered is the BEST mirror was only available in 94 and 95.

Been a wagon guy for as long as I can remember. My first car was a 71 Pontiac Safari Catalina Wagon with a 400 2bbl carb. If you stomped on the gas you could watch the gas gauge go down. I've always liked the B body wagons but never bought one. Currently have a 2005 Dodge Magnum R/T wagon with an SRT8 nose on it. I got hit in the passenger front and found a partially dismantled parts wagon. I just need to get the parts pulled and painted and swapped over. Then I can do some engine mods!
@mikehunt32223 ай бұрын
With those old Pontiac 400’s with a 2bbl the gas gauge went down just as fast as the speedometer went up. As a teenager I had a ‘77 Pontiac LeMans with a 400 2bbl and it was one of the toughest engines I’ve ever seen. It had a 301 2bbl when I got it but found the 400 and put that in it because when you stepped on the 301 the gas gauge went down FASTER then the speedometer went up. They’re the same exact block all the way up to the 455, just different bore and stroke. All those old Pontiac V-8’s are tough. I beat the ever living sh*t out of that thing and it took every bit of it and asked for more.

I can't believe there are 4 of those wagons that have survived, let alone in that condition! You are a lucky man Steve. You must be doing something right. My dad had a '64 New Yorker wagon that was just the cat's ass. It was like sitting in the cockpit of an airplane. The one thing that really stood out to me was the steering wheel. It was rectangular, basically just like a yoke in an airplane. It also had 2 A/C units. The rumble seat would hold 4 people sitting 2x2 across, facing sideways. 10 passengers! The whole car was white leather with black carpets interior. Push button automatic trans. I think it had a 413 cid big block, but it may have been 440cid. I was only about 8yrs old when he sold it.

Far more than 4 of them have survived. I own a 1995 Caprice Wagon and know quite a few others that have them. They may be disliked by most of the car loving public buy they have a loyal fan base. Upkeep isn't easy because they have zero aftermarket support outside of a few pieces that are shared with the more loved Impala SS.

I grew up driving my best friend's parent's Caprice wagon. They are almost indestructible, even lasting long past jumping a railroad crossing and bending the chassis in the middle and sinking it in a canal after a night of less than sober driving through the countryside. The best part was the license plate said "SUPER QT". Imagine a bunch of teenager guys driving that until it died a horrible life many years later. It's nice to be able to live vicariously through someone else and remember the experiences we should never have lived through as a teenager.

Later my dad purchased new, a '67 Chevy Biscayne wagon with the 250 six cylinder and three speed. After folding down the rear seat, a 4'x8' sheet of plywood would fit flat on the floor. I believe this was the first year Chevy used the Saginaw 3 speed with a synchronized first gear. That was a fantastic car. I would sooner have an old station wagon than any new car.
