Perhaps $$$. Maybe cost less to have the same one for all, then to have model specific

I'm very happy to be here at well. Such a wealth of information for my newly acquired Buick. I'm sure we will meet up this summer. Last summer I did not even hit up one show with the '78 Country Squire. So I am itching to get some show and swap meet time this season.

It was a pleasure meeting you as well Anthony. Glad to know other hobbyists personally rather just online. The Century was in good company with the Malibu!

I PM'ed you a few days ago on the 8 track AM/FM AC Delco radio. I would be for sure interested in one. Let me know what you have and what your looking to get out of it. It would be at home with the Buick demo tapes I have.

I love wagons. Yours is in real good shape from the looks of it. Is it a 6 or 9 pass? My dad has a '64 Chevelle Wagon we got in '86. I have a '95 Roadmaster, If I can get my dad to give it back.

74chick: Thank you. Overall it is a healthy wagon. She dose have some rot in the dog legs and also the pass front and rear floors have holes in them from a leaking window. Someone in time did a cheep fix, looks like caulk you use for your bathroom to seal the windows.

I LOVE that '95 Roady. That LT-1 really makes them move, such a sleeper. I almost had one, a '96, but I lost out. She was a really clean example to.

I have had 8 wagons so far, small as a '78 Toyota Corolla from Oregon, a few late '70s early '80s Volvo 245s (I'm a Volvo tech by trade), a now my other wagon a '78 Country Squire and along with my '73.

I haven't been to a cruise night, per se, since ~2005. So, along with the meet'n'greets, hope to be at some cruise nights in this area this year.....
