That's all that matters now. The only improvement would have been rear-facing seats (and shoulder harnesses). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 Indeed you are, great photo and thanks for sharing. Plus I'd love to know the source of that photo. I believe that is the same custom Buick that was advertised here some time back and I've been wondering what ever happened to it. Would love to hear that you bought it?

To the 58 guys, what's with the back bumper on the wagon? Downturned exhaust and no bumper outlet? Can't remember ever seeing this before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This example sounds like it's struggling: I worked for Oldsmobile when these came out and thought they were pretty slick. This dose sound like it belongs in a horror movie though. What I heard was they made the car heavy but that was pre oil embargo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
