Here's what that car might look like with nice wheels (this one's a 72 Buick GS but similar to that gen. Cutlass).

Good looking GS. Do like the body styles and hoods on both cars. Would like to see a better pic of the GS without the light reflection washing out the matte black hood. Amazing how the Saddle interior has faded into about 6 shades of tan. Try sorting that out as to which one is the factory color. No wonder the Seller suggests just dying it black...lol!

Spotted this '76 MC @ a local show this evening. Pretty cool car, the owner said the blue paint is a Corvette color. It was the only G3 at the show course...LOL

Saw this poor thing sitting at a garage on Buffalo Rd in Niagara Falls NY. I had never actually seen a Laguna wagon before. Pretty decent restoration candidate. Even had 3 turbine wheels.

That Nose is in Great shape that would be an "easy" resto ( nothing about our cars is "easy" right ) any way looks in god shape for its age

Yeah, the body seemed solid (obviously not from around these parts, then), and the glass and trim was all there and undamaged. Even the rub strip on the nose looked decent.
