[@seand2711]

That's a damn good looking wagon.

[@jamessawyer8889]

Since the wagon has the Buick chrome road wheels which IMO dresses up any Buick, I wouldn't change them, it looks just fine

[@anthonym.cardali1875]

Those Road Wheels make it a BUICK!!

[@workingoutguy]

WHAT IS THE MILES PER GALLON?

[@thesam19841]

I actually understand the wagon deal... my professor in college had a 95 Roadmaster Limited dark metallic cherry w/ wood and I thought it was great... she called me up my junior year and asked if I wanted it for a grand... this was in 2005 and it had 101k... waited a month before my dad could come up from home to check it out... he started it shifted through the gears and said we'll take it... I asked if we needed to test it and he said no, he could tell.. we were in the back alley and I had only ever been in the car with my professor, she never drove fast... I thought it had a 5.0L so I punched it to get it moving and nearly ran into the garage across the alley... never expected to have that much power and over the years I learned mine had all the most desireable extras... I put almost 80k on the car and loved it... only sold it because the electrical vats was failing and the trans was shifting poorly... I unfortunately was sick and couldn't work on it, I sold all my extra cars that year to get married... owned half a dozen sedan roadmaster sedan since... couldn't get another wagon, not that I wouldn't enjoy it but it wouldn't be the same car and that was enough to never bite the bullet... but I loved that car and the exact one would have to fall in my lap to bite the bullet... couldn't be close... would have to be the same...

[@thesam19841]

My parents had matching Chevy Astro vans all through the 90s growing up... a dark brown 86 and a medium gray 88... they were base models, dog dish hubcaps, no tinted windows, vinyl seats and floors, no third row seats... only options were cruise control and am/fm radio... we had other Astros and safaris, over the years as they were perfect for my dad's antique business.. Those 2 we had the longest, and stuck in my mind the most... the gray one was my first car... always wanted another, if I could find the rare Astro RS or the rarer Safari GT... id want one how I was going to customize mine back in the day... driven a few here or there over the years... like that friend that even if you haven't seen each other in years, it's as if you saw them yesterday... nothings changed, everything feels the same... My wife is that way with Jeep Cherokees, she grew up with them and her father's was her first car... I've also owned half a dozen jeeps just for her... So I understand... Old friends to make new memories with

[@smoothoperator1663]

U would b crazy to replace those wheels it’s the best part of the wagon

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

Great looking station wagon Tone, we all look back on better times with nostalgia, given the state of play these days.

[@mooraymachine5019]

Hey Paulie, I see you commenting on Bill's videos from Naples. You obviously have great taste in cars.

[@MostlyBuicks]

Love to have those Buick road wheels.

[@davem6577]

The chrome mag wheels make that car pop. Those have always been my favorite feature that Buick made for many many years. Obviously demanded considering they made them for so long.

[@joewojna2148]

68 buick sky lark my favorite car

[@scubatrucker6806]

That's one beautiful station wagon. 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@joshuagraham3222]

That car is beautiful. I definitely have the same taste in cars as you. I showed this to my wife and she loved it. We will definitely acquire one soon.

[@c.d.7742]

Anthony, I am around twice your age, but I certainly like your style!

[@billyjoejimbob56]

And I remember the fun times I had with my daughters when they were the age of yours... She is adorable! Enjoy every minute... time does fly!

[@jameslonergan5840]

The market for those big GM and Ford wagons is really growing!!

[@fsb1284]

Indeed my family had the “Family Truckster” Ford Squire before the Olds, so we checked both the GM and Ford boxes in the 80s. Chrysler Minivans didn’t really catch on in my neck of woods until 90s. These wagons were it, unless you could afford a Conversion Van or Suburban.

[@wileecoyote5749]

Yes. He can get $675K

[@lecadeau22201]

Beautiful wagon. I’d love to have a good low-mile one like that.

[@terrymertz1923]

I totally get the nostalgia factor and for two reasons I love this car. Dad bought a new 73 caprice estate blue with woodgrain and a 454... I can still remember the smell of the interior when it was new and the sound of that four barrel carb when you floored it! Fast forward to 1982 and dad bought me a 82 park avenue diesel and to this day it's a favorite of mine. Loved this video!

[@garycurry4600]

I love the wheels that you have. I think it makes it really stand out.

[@Shawn-ne6ld]

Those Buick rims are the nicest period correct wheels ever. My dad was a Buick guy and he had them on 3 of our Buicks, 64 Wildcat, 76 Electra Limited, 78 Park Avenue. Love them. I was never a fan of the woody look but these days it’s nostalgic. My favorite growing up, 76 Electra Limited. Cadillac Sedan Deville is my dream.

[@tommcmillan3143]

Very nice wagon! My childhood favorite car was my Dad's 1965 Plymouth Fury III 4 door hardtop that was metallic Navy blue with a light blue interior. That car was a fantastic freeway cruising car. He took all of us kids from our Detroit suburban home to our "Up North" cottage on the weekends. I remember it would be hot outside but with all the windows down the wind coming in kept all of us very cool. That car was fast, I always sat behind him in the back seat so I could watch the speedometer. Lastly, when he would pass cars on the two lane roads, he would kick it down to passing gear and the engine would come to life, I'll never forget that sound! That car would pass other cars just like they were sitting still, what a real family car with performance! Many great memories with my Dad and that car.

[@wadet73]

Took my driver's license test in a 1979 Buick Estate Wagon. Had an Oldsmobile 403 under the hood. My parents had a 1970 Cutlass Supreme Holiday coupe when I was born so I was destined to be a Olds kid. Our first station wagon was a 1972 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser. They liked the Buick wagons so much they had 2 1979 Estate Wagons. Thanks for the trip back to my childhood.

[@andydelcerro1628]

Anthony, I truly admired your great work and feel the love you have for your family. Papa and Mama bear raised you the right way, keep up the amazing stuff you present to us 🙏🏻🍺👏🏻❤️🚐🚙🚗🚓🚕🛻🚖🚘

[@gmdguy]

Great wagon! My wife and I bought a 1970 Chysler Town & Country wagon as a second car our 1st year of married life. Wonderful car and what a "snowplow" in our Michigan winters. One of my most missed vehicles.

[@johnquinn7643]

I just added a comment on our 1971 Chrysler T&C!

[@douglasb.1203]

Reminds me of the original "Out of Towners" with Jack Lemmon & Sandy Dennis.

[@wmalden]

LOVE this Buick wagon! Keep those wheels. I own the latest and probably the last Buick wagon - 2018 Regal TourX. I have never seen another one in my travels and I live in a city of over 1 million.

[@chucklambooy8457]

Fabulous! You sure manage to find the great ones

[@blast4me754]

I came here specifically to give my love and support to all the amazing people who grew up riding in station wagons ...

[@brucebelitz3451]

Great wagon, absolutely love it!

[@mrjj1f]

Great story and a terrific car. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@warwgn3956]

Great video. When I was a kid, my parents had a 1979 Buick Electra Estate Wagon with the Olds 403 engine. When I got older, I bought a 1989 Buick Electra Estate Wagon with the Olds 307, and then a 1985 Pontiac Parisienne Safari with a modified Chevrolet 350.

[@jayman9750]

God I love those wagons, my neighbor had one just like yours except it was the diesel model and I’d love to have one just like it..😁

[@kendalton8813]

My parents always had Buick's when I was growing up, my dad had Electric's and my mom had Le sabre's - I would love to find a 76 Le sabre 2 door red w/ white half top that was the last car my mom owned when she passed away - you have a SWEET wagon there Anthony and it goes good with all your other BEAUTIFUL cars!!

[@lesn9125]

Beautiful car Anthony. Mine was a 1972 Plymouth valiant. My dad loved it when he bought it straight off the truck at the dealer. A lot of memories later he surprised me by giving it to me as a graduation present

@@charlesjackson1700 It sure looks like an Electra Station Wagon to Me 1989 was the last year for this model ???????

[@CortezBurt]

Cars that bring back childhood memories for me. All owned by my father the first 16 years of my life. 1)1969 Chrysler Town and country 2) 1970 and 1976 Ford pickup trucks 3) 1978 Buick Limited

[@jamescunningham4180]

In 1973I went shopping with my father at a chevy dealer. We lived in the suburbs But we had a farm. I talked Him in To buy in a chevy suburban Cheyenne super Rear air Electric back window. And he said Are you gonna buy this when you get old enough And I said I would In 1976I got my license In my mom's formula 400 firebird1974 gold. My dad said until I was 18 I didn't need a car. When I turned 18 in 1978My dad sold it to me. I put captain's chairs Keystone classics Mag wheels. Deep dish in the back And put side pipes. I drove it Until 1981And sold it. I had a child I need to Get a new car. still miss it Thanks for the memories😎

[@brentonmcclean3647]

Beautiful car Anthony!

[@flatfoot62]

We had a 1964 Chevrolet Impala Wagon with the same seat facing rearward. We used to go to the Drive In and my Dad would back it in so we could sit in the back. Us younger kids would go on the roof and sit with in the roof rack. My parents sat in lawn chairs. During intermission we would go play on the swings. What a great time we had. I love the memory of it. Both my parents are gone now.

[@kkhett6034]

Don't remember the year, early 70s, but Ford LTD was my grandpa's. It was HUGE to us kids, it was yellow with green top, no window dividers so when you rolled down the front & rear it was wide open. Dark green interior, it rode like a boat on the water! When I was young, I remember sitting down on the floor in the front passenger side, while grandpa drove! I LOVED it! Miss it & grandpa 😊

[@earnestp.worrell5389]

Mine was an 87 Estate red on red. My kids loved riding in the "way back."

[@veronicahawthorne3452]

What a beautiful old wagon. Reminds me of my grandparents.. they always bought Buicks every year or two. One for him, a wagon and a sedan for her. They had a wagon similar to this. I was a teen back then so this year reminds me of my youth. I like that you pick more odd cars to show and drive..I get so tired of seeing Corvettes and 57 Chevys. At car shows that's all you see. I walk right past them. Great video! Your daughter will remember this car as her childhood car. It will bring great memories for her in life. Thanks again for this video!

[@djstangerdude]

I consider myself lucky. I still have my childhood memory car. My Dads first brand new car was a 63 Galaxie Country Sedan ordered with buckets and console, floor shift, power windows and seat. I was brought home from the hospital when I was born in that wagon. I still have it and restored it 25 years ago and it still looks fresh and new! Great video!!

[@GB-je5tc]

Thats a keeper Anthony... Its like the Cadillac of station wagons. Congrats.

[@bgrigg07]

I have fantastic memories of watching the world go by from the rear facing seat in a 1972 Buick Estate. I would totally be one of those people who would want a look at this car. I love wagons and wish there were more of them around.

[@paulm6481]

The car that brings me memories are the 1978-1989 Caprices. We traveled everywhere with that. I am amazed that they are now popular and known as box Caprices

[@circlepfarm9729]

Wow! Brings back so many memories of my Uncle (who lived in Portsmouth). He and his family would drive up to Groveton when I was a kid staying with my older brother. Those great station wagons always seemed to be the flagship of the brand as a young impressionable kid.

[@robertmacdonald4518]

Love that car , my experience was with like 10 of these my dad ran cabs outta Boston area , some loaded some work model Caprice all 307's were dogs but could really go a long way seen 500k miles outta some. And safety we had one have two head one accident's and bolt new nose on back to work!

[@burlsigler8454]

This guy says this is his favorite child hood memory, but if the price is right he'll sell the darn thing in a heartbeat.🤔

[@brianhuggins7951]

My mom was a station wagon owner back in my younger years too. Two of them come to mind: 1971 Dodge Coronet Crestwood wagon and a 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Vista Cruiser. The Cutlass had similar paint/wood grain design as your Buick. Loved those wagons. Wonderful memories!! They don't and won't build them like this anymore!! Loved this review.

[@michaelpfaff6009]

It is so heart-warming to see such a young guy loving these cars. I'm 55 and love them too. I have the 1968 Impala my mom bought brand-new. As kids, we couldn't wear shoes in her car. I have that car and it still looks like new. Only 68k on it. A car I will never sell.

[@gened7756]

HI Anthony----Nice car. On April 29th 1976, I bought a brand new mercury cougar. Five weeks after I bought the car, I got married. 46 years later, I still have the car and still have the wife!

[@tigerskys6810]

Just love em. I’m from the UK and was in the US working in a summer camp in the 80's and drove the lower spec Chevy Caprice Classic and Oldsmobile (Delta 88 I think it was) wagons. Returning to the US to work soon and may just give you a call to find something interesting to drive around in!

[@patrickflohe7427]

Very cool! That’s kinda funny! While you were heading to the States, I went to England for a little over two years, at the beginning of ‘85.

[@mcwolf4255]

Severe nostalgia for me, especially around this time a year. Driving by Toys R Us waiting for the new Transformers and the Tyco Cliffhangers race set for Christmas. Nice memory lane video also Papa Bear is a Super Cool Dad.

Happy Birthday and many more healthy years to come. Lately ive been having dreams of a B Body wagon myself :) happy trails!

[@jg6579]

I've always loved the monster wagons. My stepfather drove a late 70's Pontiac Grand Safari with the "Clamshell" rear tailgate. I remember on our way to Montreal, sticking my head out the only partially open back window and yelling for my mother in the front passenger seat (she didn't drive) to open the tailgate window all the way. She pushed the button the wrong way and I was screaming because my head was jammed in between. Ahhh....memories. Lol.

[@richardmccarley281]

I love love love station wagons!

[@richardsayre2635]

It's a beauty. I remember two Buicks my parents had when I was a child - we had a 1971 Electra 225 (455 w/ 4-barrel) and a 1984 Electra Park Avenue. 1984 was the last year for the big rear-wheel drive Electra sedans.

[@ksuss5360]

My mother had a huge 1984 Ford Crown Victoria. I have those same types of memories from that car as you do with your moms. This video takes me back. My grandmother always had a Buick Century. Those cars she had were memory makers for us as well. That Electra is beautiful.

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

My favorite car. Ever. Love the wheels. But also love the other wheels from 90. Like a basket or haineybomb. Can’t describe it. But my family had one as a child. My best friend totaled it in our driveway when we were in high school. Long story. Lol

[@jamesbass9797]

Anthony I don't know what wheel's you are referring to but the one's you have on that wagon now are absolutely stunning and in my humble opinion make's that wagon look ... GOOD! Send me a link to the wheel's you are referring to as I am very curious to know exactly what your talking about.

[@jerrylayton2425]

great memories we owned sister to that car, even same color, bought it 2nd owner, funeral home 1st. It was used to haul family from funeral home to grave site, and to haul caskets when hearse was not needed. It had lots of scratches on chrome at rear door floor, grandkids called it the body wagon. I especially remember the smooth ride and the wonderful heater.

[@KB-jl7tm]

These cars are indeed memory makers. What stuck in my memory log: a silver 1992 Mercury Grand Marquis that my uncle had; my mom's 1980 navy blue Chrysler Cordoba, as well as a white/wood 1981 Town & Country Lebaron station wagon; and my aunt Betty's grass green MB280 SE opera coupe from 1970. All of these cars are stuck in my memory.

[@manuelpedrosantos4030]

Fantastick!

[@lisam724]

I bought a caprice one in 89 brand new every dad was jealous kids love the back seat the memories are priceless it was a great time in auto history

[@ssan3257]

I have a 1977 Buick wagon that my parents bought new and I love it! Like your wagon too!

[@eolafan100]

My “memory” car would be a 1965 Chevrolet BelAir sedan in blue/green with a straight six and an automatic transmission…it was the first brand new car my parents ever purchased and the car on which I learned to drive when I was sixteen. Not anything at all special by any means but still special to me..

[@randolfo1265]

My dad had a 1961, same car, around 1968. I can still hear that six coming into the driveway after work and the sound of the linkage going into park. Yeah, not special, but special

[@patrickflohe7427]

My first car was a ‘64 Bel Air, which I got in ‘82 with 29,000 miles on it. I left for the Air Force in ‘84, & my brother got it.

[@richardnunez3474]

Amazing condition, extremely rare. When station wagons served its purpose back in the day they pretty much went straight to the crusher.

[@troublemakingpups5787]

Anthony, I love this car!! It is my favorite in your collection!! Hi Papa Bear! 🐻 I had an 86 pinkish champagne Chrysler New Yorker with maroon interior with velour pillow seats. It was the turbo car. It had the digital display and it talked, "The Door is Ajar" etc.. If you find a near mint one I am your huckleberry. Those wheels make your wagon! I had an 84 Olds 88 and an 89 Grand Marquis. The New Yorker was so comfortable, I loved it! I know it is just a fancy K car. My childhood memory vehicle was a 1968 C10 step side. Straight 6 with three speed on column. I still have the manual.

[@19375320269]

Love the car Anthony much respect…when I was 19 my dad had a 1989 Buick Electra park avenue in a champagne color he put lots of miles on it and had over 250k when we sold it I guess you could say that car has my favorite memories aside from the 1994 Cadillac deville he replaced it with which is now mine and I have a video of it on my channel and I still have it today.

[@christopherkraft1327]

Hey Anthony & Papa Bear, Happy Halloween!!! Your Buick Estate Wagon is really a sweet ride!! A car that I remember fondly from my childhood is my uncle's 63 Continental, I loved the suicide doors & what my uncle called "the magic seats" that made me taller so I could see out the window better!! I think it was that car that started my life long love of Lincolns!!! 🎃

[@paulgozzo9178]

Happy Halloween to you Christopher yes I also like those early 60's Continentals especially the convertible. Papa 🐻 & Anthony

[@zachwheeler9846]

Absolutely gorgeous wagon! I love these old classic boxy station wagons they have a special charm to them. My dad owned 2 Chevy Caprice wagons that had the 3 backwards facing seats and I thought that was the coolest thing ever as kid we all fought for that seat. Congrats on getting this car I'm glad it's in good hands and your continuing giving it the same loving care it's previous 2 owners did. Great video Anthony!

[@johnquinn7643]

We had a 1971 Chrysler Town & Country Wagon. Factory 440, power steering, brakes, windows, cruise, tilt/telescopic wheel with rim blow, AM/FM 8 Track (originally AM 8 Track - changed out), power antenna and power door locks, 60/40 split bench seat (driver and passenger power), air conditioning, posi rear, rear window washer, roof rack, added step bumper with handles from a ‘70 wagon. The car was green with the factory woodgrain. I was going to add an Imperial dash for full instrumentation as well as dual exhaust (from the 70 donor) but never got around to it. I really miss that car, It went all over the country!

[@Praterphil]

Love it, my folks hauled all 7 of us kids around the country in a '69 Ford LTD wagon. It had a 429 4 barrel, Great memories!

[@andywong5000]

My childhood favorite is the 1975 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Brougham. Your beautiful wagon reminds me alot of my grandfather's Oldmobile Custom Cruiser Woody Wagon.

[@delrayshaffer6376]

I delivered groceries when I was in high school. My boss had a car like this. He let me drive it when the Ford Econoline delivery van broke down. What a nice car and ride. Wish the van broke down more!

[@stuartb9323]

Great topic Anthony I have two favorite cars growing up in the 60's as a kid. My folks were Pontiac people, and they had a 1967 Pontiac Ventura sedan. The second car was my Grandmother's 1967 Pontiac Executive 4 door. My parents car was gold with black interior, and my Omas 67 was blue with black interior. The Executive was the first car I "restored"...and it's a huge car.

[@billgerue5486]

[@christinawoodard3754]

[@davidrivera414]

These station wagons bring back memories I used to spend time on the rear seat that faced the rear hatch

[@patrickflohe7427]

My parents had a Buick Sport Wagon when I was a kid, and then an Olds Custom Cruiser! A lot of good memories riding in the back of those cars!

[@bobgastreichCars71]

I love station wagons. Your's is magnificent. I live the Buick wagon. My dad had a 1859 Ford Wagon four door. I can remember sitting by the tailgate, watching people and waving. ALSO the weekends at the driving sleeping in the back watching movies and eating till I fell asleep inthe back. I cried when my dad sold it for another car. The only wagon we every owned. I wish I could have one more day or with my parents and that wago n.

[@nicholascaroselli81]

Nice wagon. I’ve recently purchased a survivor 1978 Mercury Grand Marquis wagon for the exact same reasons. Fireworks to pumpkin picking, to Christmas tree. It’s a weekend warrior. Family memories being made.

[@jeffharkson1920]

I recently bought a 1984 Audi 4000 S. My Mom had one new when I was a kid, and only 2 years later, he traded it for a 1982 Buick Electra Estate Wagon. Mom hated it, but I loved it too. I’d totally buy this wagon! Good for you!

[@mikedavid7168]

My Moms 1982 Buick skylark had this alarm. OMG that brings back memories

[@AtlantaGymFan]

Beautiful car in autumn leaves!

[@MrOlds1986]

My memory as a kid was my dads 1981 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser wagon and my uncles 1978 Chevy malibu estate wagon. Now I own a 1980 Chevy malibu Classic wagon which i saved from being scrapped with no dash so I put in Cutlass Supreme dash which made me relive my dads Cutlass Cruiser wagon on the inside and on the outside my uncles Chevy malibu wagon. Beautiful wagon BTW.

[@charliebruckman8661]

I know what you mean about childhood memories. My dad had a black 1960 Chevy Impala. I get too weepy when i see one now because my dad's been gone 21 years.

[@lvnvxlt8653]

Looooove your wife's wagon. Lol. I always thought they were so classy and elegant. The one that really brings back the warm n fuzziness was my parents 1973 Pontiac Grand Safari with the clamshell tailgate, white over burgundy vinyl/leather interior loaded with a burgundy vinyl top and roof rack with woodgrain as well, id loooove to have a grand safari clamshell again. Enjoyed this video Anthony, thanks for sharing...

[@GrandpaFabulous]

When I was a kid my parents had a 1980 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser; probably my favorite car that I remember my parents having. That car was traded for a Subaru wagon in 1990. When I was 18, in 2003 I too wanted to relive those memories and I bought a 1988 Buick Electra Estate Wagon, same color scheme as yours, but with blue velour and the wire wheel covers. Back in ‘03 these didn’t have quite the same “cool factor” that they do today… in fact it was a very odd choice for a young man right out of high school. I knew that the only thing it really needed was the Buick factory alloys. I tracked down a set of them online along with the factory center caps. At that time they were pretty cheap, but shipping them to Colorado was pricey. After several years, life changed and it unfortunately became impractical for me to keep it, so I sold it to a friend. I treasure my memories with my very own Electra Estate Wagon even more than my memories of my parent’s Custom Cruiser. The Electra Estates were indeed the finest of all GM B-body wagons.

[@miscrambler]

Love it. I bought a low mileage 88 Pontiac Safari 15 or so years ago - same car basically- same underpowered Olds 307. It was great to drive and I never went anywhere that I wasn't stopped by a stranger who told me a childhood story about a vacation taken in one. It was the best conversation starter! I hated to part with it, but, well, life got in the way. The Buick version is my next favorite of the B-body wagons. MY childhood wagon was a mid-70s Country Squire with a lot more power!

[@edward.jantonelly3183]

Happy birthday 🎂 young man! You bring back childhood memories for sure growing up I seen a few my dad had. From 1948 chevy"s to 1958 chevy sdns. Only 1 Wagon 1965 chevy impala red.

The station wagon is always a very special car, because all that stories about childhood, memories with mom and dad, everything about it. In today`s world plenty of SUV`s line up from almost every car maker, I do prefer, personaly this old school wagons, better handling, better ride and cool looking. Living in US, or in another contry, in South America, as me, all folks gettin`40`s or 50`s and beyond, had very funny and enjoyable trips, family time that we will never forget. Your station wagon is priceless, man, keep her on the road like she is. So cool!!!.

My dad had one of these. I remember drying the chrome strip under the doors when he washed it after church each week.

I love it! I was born in 1981. Mine is a 1988 Chevrolet Celebrity Eurosport! I found a very nice one 2 years ago 121k miles. New A/C system. Everything else is original.

I got my 2nd DUI in a 1985 Buick Lesabre wagon back in 1990. Great memories!

My childhood memory car is the 1984 Mercedes 300SD Turbodiesel in my profile pic. A neighbor in the 80s had one. As a child, I wondered why it sounded so different. That Diesel clatter was elegant to me. I bought this one when it was 36 years old. It had been lovingly cared for by two families, and it’s my first choice for cruising down back roads. I’ve posted a couple videos of it, along with an E-Class Diesel from 1999.

Thanks for sharing good story.

GM wagons were everywhere back in the 80's they were awesome. We'd pile into them looking for parties in high school...

We had a '92 Buick Estate wagon, but with the diesel engine. My dad hated that engine but I loved the car because it had so many luxury features. What a treat to see it again. I know the existing wheels are more sought after with Buicks but the alloys we had on the '92 were much better looking.

Brings back alot of memories for me. My father had a blue 1980 olds custom cruiser diesel

I had a 1990. Fabulous car. Drove cross country in super comfort. carries a sheet of plywood lying down flat. most of the front end is truck parts. saved my wife's life in a nasty t-bone with a lincoln. a little greedy with gas but i loved it
