Guest Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 OK , this is probably a dumb question, but I had to ask: I have a 64 Sportwagon that has a vanity mirror affixed to the passenger visor. It looks really old and has a silly "Buick is a Beauty Too" slogan etched in it. Has anyone else come across one of these? At first I thought it was a owner ad on, but the more I thought about it, I began to think this was just too plain silly and must be GM issued or dealer installed product. Thanks in advance for any input. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 It is a GM accessory part. It was a little phrase that the user of the mirror would read when looking into the mirror for 'vanity' reasons. Not only is the user a beauty, but so is their Buick. Just a little not-so-subliminal advertising. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 Thanks Matt-Too bad the old 64 Sportwagon ain't the beauty she once was-but hey- she is 38 years old-I'd hate to see what that translates into in dog years. Again, thanks for the info. This board seems to know everything. GH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 This wagon gets more interesting all the time. I think it was a very early 1st year production model. It's like Buick wanted to deck her out for the new model prom; 300 4bbl with aluminum heads, AC, PS, power seat, power windows, clock, remote mirror, vista visors,third seat, roof rack and extra exterior chrome around windows. Black exterior along with a funky white interior with black floral embossed bands on the seat backs and door panels-would this be a deluxe interior of some sort? The few Sportwagons I have seen have been pretty "plain jane" and most of my knowledge base is from what I have learned from you folks-Oh yeah, it also has a bunch of color coded rubber tubing under the dash which seems to correspond to a 68 Fischer body manual for auto door locks-but for the life of me I have no idea how they worked-current lock knobs are white-except for drivers door which is chrome-is this a replacement knob? Sorry for the long post, I got a little carried away. Thanks as always, greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
