As close as you can get to a Cadillac wagon, from 1971-1990, one of the generals best.😊

I love those big plush Buick Estate Wagons. Very plush,very loaded,excellent ride,big payload & the Awesome reliable torque monster 455 engine!!! Best Wagons!!!

the cloth front seat/vinyl rear seats (2nd and 3rd) was a Buick option for several years - typically ordered by customers with kids who most often rode in the rear seats - rare cornering lights

Car from my youth. Mom had a '73 green gold (olive) 3 seat Estate. Ours was loaded but no simulated paneling or vinyl top.

My mom drove a 73 Custom Cruiser, yellow with brown vinyl roof and interior- the Olds equivalent to the Buick in this video. It had every option and still felt quite luxurious even in the 80s when I was little. It was handed down by my dad’s parents who bought it new. Miraculously we were able to keep the rust at bay until the early 90s. It was daily driven by my parents in the NYC area for a decade before it started really rotting out.

So unique and so nice but no power windows? So strange! Also crazy pricing or so I think anyway!

@truckerkevthepaidtourist 2 года назад

Power windows some people didn't want them so they didn't spec them back in the day.

@suzigti92 2 года назад

Yes, and it needs engine work. The ticking noise was either the valve train or exhaust manifold leaking. Hard to tell over the computer speakers. Still a very rare car

@elmowilson298 2 года назад

That was fashion back in the 70s, full size wagons with clamshell tailgates. Later came the hinges and retractable glasses

@trudygreer2491 2 года назад

Rectactible glass came in the early 50s with (transomless) drop-down tailgates. Rambler offered a side-hinged door in back on their seaters, and Ford pioneered the Magic doorgate that "swung both ways" in 1966, in '69 came the 3-way M.D. whereby it could open door-style window up or window down. Originally the window had to be lowered b4 you could open as a door.

Wow, I don't think I have ever seen a station wagon of this, or any other era, with a vinyl roof! That's got to be incredibly rare, right there.

@craigjorgensen4637 2 года назад

Very rare indeed! They wasted their money on that but didn’t add power windows or FM radio? C’mon!

@thisbandreallystix 2 года назад

@@craigjorgensen4637 Yes, it's very odd, ironic and unexpected that they would have ordered some luxuries but not others. Albeit, I have a 1985 Dodge Aries station wagon, and the original owners ordered it with A/C, but opted for hand-cranked windows. And there's an AM/FM radio, but i have no idea if that sort of thing was standard then. Still, even my car is a rarity and an oddball.

@trudygreer2491 2 года назад

@@craigjorgensen4637 A lot of people didn't trust power windows as they weren't always reliable. When I was young my parents drove a '62 Country Squire with power windows and I recall that the left rear one didn't work. Car was abt. 5 years old then. Upmarket brands and high trim-level wagons usu. came with a power tailgate window. (Otherwise you had to get out and crank it down!) I believe that GM didn't make the power Glide-Away standard until 1974.. yes, they expected you to have to muscle that gate up and down! (it WAS counterbalanced for ease). My 2 cents, fwiw..

A Friend I know who is a General Motors mechanic has a 1972 Buick Estate Wagon. His is white without the vinyl top but has the fake wood sidings. Has all the toys which includes a third rear seat and an electric rear window defroster and power tailgate.

@loveisall5520 2 года назад

I was in high school when this came out; one of my relatives had the Oldsmobile version. These wagons were just an homage to bloated, who-cares-about-gas American cars at the time. The sad part is that they also weren't good haulers; the back end lost piles of cubic feet because of the design, and I can say that they were just like ships on the road. Surprised this big Buick doesn't have power windows, but delighted that it's here at all, as most of these were killed in demolition derbies.

@paulparoma 2 года назад

The design was way ahead of its time, as we can see. Now all cars lose tons of room, thanks to unnecessary curves.:)

@loveisall5520 2 года назад

@@paulparoma Obviously either you didn't drive those barges as I did in my youth, or you have chosen to ignore the interior to exterior volume ratio of then, to now.

@paulparoma 2 года назад

@@loveisall5520 I never had a STW (except a Taurus wagon), but I drove a number of large cars (Regency, Electra, Grand Marquis). The use of space was not all that efficient, but that was not my point in the comment. Actually, I am not sure what yours is. Are you trying to say today's cars are roomy?

@loveisall5520 2 года назад

@@paulparoma For their size they are amazingly roomy. The least efficient of the bloated cars of the seventies, space wise, was the '73-77 GM 'intermediates' and their competition from FoMoCo. My aunt had a '75 El Camino and a '75 Malibu Classic and the front seat width was tiny, with inches of wasted space on each side because of the design of the body and the vault-thick doors (which of course had no purpose other than styling). I remember well the smaller cars of the time, and the Gremlin was the only one that had a relatively roomy front seat for the time. A decade of generally poor American design and engineering, reflected in the low preservation rate and prices for most of the cars.

@paulparoma 2 года назад

@@loveisall5520 The Gremlin was an abomination, so I can't even consider it seriously. As for the mid-range models of the time, they were awful indeed, in just about every respect. I loved my '78 Electra and '81 Regency, though. The nicest interiors and a sublime ride. My '86-93 Grand Marquis were also great cars, but the interiors were not quite as nice and not very generous on rear legroom. As for today's cars, I have yet to find a reasonably priced one in which I don't feel claustrophobic. Minivans are out of fashion, but those are the only ones offering true spaciousness. Mind you, I drive a 2005 Scion XB, which feels like a house in the front seat and like a limo in the back - and it's smaller than a Corolla! Talk about getting the maximum out of minimum! So, every other modern car feels like a submarine by comparison. I hope never to have to part with my XB.

When I was in high school my mom had a '72 Buick Estate Wagon. Rear wheel drive with a 455 4 BBL. I would drive it to school and at lunch 5 or 6 of my weed smoking buddies would jump in and I'd take 'em drifting on the dirt roads outside of town. I always liked the look on some farmer's face when a 5000 lb, / 19 foot long station wagon full of high school stoner yahoos went by sideways on a curve.
