plymouthcranbrook Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 We had a Buick Sportwagon back in the early 70’s that I got cheap from an acquaintance. Even with a ton of miles on it the darn thing ran well and never let us down. Even a couple of longer trips were good. Nice to see this Olds looking so good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Great body style in a seldom seen color. The wire caps are nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingrudy Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Seems to have been well taken care of. You could purchase this car, enjoy it for a few years and sell it for what you paid for it IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesR Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I love this car, too. My only complaint is for that kind of money, the seller should go out and find another rear bumper. OTOH, rear bumpers for sixties Olds can be hard to find...my '63 Holiday Coupe bumper was rare and relatively expensive. I share Jay Leno's amusement at Olds calling these cars "mid-sized." Not only were they big, but the slab sided body styling made them kind of look like full sized cars from other brands. Still very cool, though. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryankazmer Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 First, yes, it's an attractive car. How much does the incorrect interior hurt the value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchan Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 If it had a correct interior, seller might be asking $20K-plus. Vista Cruisers have always been popular, and this one's clean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car was missing the bumper and the gravel deflector (fits in between the bumper and the trunk. It took me three years to find the bumper and I still have not found the gravel deflector. Both parts only fit a Super, or Roadmaster for 1940. If I was in the market, the bumper wouldn't stop me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good shop could straighten and rechrome the bumper. We use Paul's Chrome Plating https://www.paulschrome.com/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another way of looking at it: The dent gives it a little character. Better to buy the car with a dent than for the new owner to be repsonsible for it; it's guilt-free. Just my opinion.
