billbuickgs Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Lamar , Bought out of an estate in 2012 of a 92 year old lady , 99000 mi Then sold to a couple that drove across county to Michigan Used until Dec 2018 and put on the board for sale , no sale . Sat for a year . Put back on the board for sale Nov 2019 , bought it with 107900 mi The transporter who pick the car up said it was snowing like hell and 17 degree , and it started right up and drove on the trailer . The 2 way tail gate only works in the fold down position , rusted latch , needs love ! BIG heavy duty hitch but the part that slides in is frozen in place . I'm soaking it good and will try heat soon . The grandkids will name it on Christmas Day , BERTHA BUICK , BEIGE BETTY It really looks like the Griswold Ford in " Christmas Vacation " Have a Great Christmas and Happy New Year Bill 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billbuickgs Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 Christmas day my granddaughters met the Buick and had fun with the rocker. One granddaughter is in the rocker, the other is behind the wheel with our sheltie in the passenger seat. The family had a great time laughing about the old Buick, reminding them of the movie Christmas Vacation. Bill 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t see a lot of Buick wagons down under ( a friend has three ) so all this is great. Along with split seats and extra third row of seats, nice to see! I think wagons have created a resurgence in something different in Classic Cars. I like! Rodney 😀😀😀😀😀😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
