Buick Estate Wagon 1974 

That undoubtedly has to be the finest example of a 1974 Buick Estate wagon in existance today! What a GORGEOUS automobile!

Beautiful, just that. It is shocking that modern GM SUVs aren't far from this, only that they lack the ground breaking features, materials and craftmanship and design that these classics had. This was truly the peak in American auto industry, no less.

My great aunt had this beautiful BUICK. To save on gas she chose the 455CID 2bbl. It would kick like a mule when all the back seats were occupied & 1st started. She loved it. Awesome wagon.

All these GM wagons were fabulous.

Beautiful wagon. Exactly the way my great aunt had hers brand new. Easily, there'll be 10-12 kids in this behemoth, we all had fun & fond memories in this land yacht. Awesome car

When bigger cars are built Buick will build them!! Loved the interior shots including the often ignored third seat, the crown jewel of wagon flexibility and fun. The front split bench is also a hallmark of thoughtful engineering. Thanks.

This is an absolutely gorgeous car in beautiful condition.... I grew up with the Pontiac version. A 76 Grand Safari, with the rectangular headlights... Had a 455 4-barrel and got about 10 miles per gallon.... The gas tank on these cars only held 22 gallons because they were in the sidewall of the left rear quarter panel. Ours was a cream yellow with wood, and tan interior..... I love them so much that I currently own a 76 Caprice Estate Wagon, in the same exact color combination as this, and is also in as good condition as this without any dents and rust, and with the third seat and fully functioning electric tailgate... deep rich shine and garage kept. Mine has a 400, 4 Barrel. I drive mine often, as long as the whether is good. It rides like a full-size Cadillac and has the air shocks. The Caprice Estate Wagon came with a 400, 4 barrel standard but you could have upgraded to a 454. The Buick came with the 455, 4-barrel standard.... I was very interested in pricing so I remember that New, our 76 Grand Safari cost $5700.00. By the time you added the air conditioning, 455, 4 barrel, tinted glass, roof rack, power tailgate, wood grain paneling, 3rd seat, power windows, locks, tilt, cruise, and seats, rear window defogger, cornering lamps, interior door courtesy lights, key colored Rally II wheels, and digital clock, the cost was just over $8,200. I believe the air conditioning was the costliest upgrade and the third seat cost $149.00. The power tailgate cost $62.00.

My parents had a 1973 Estate Wagon. Bought new. It was gigantic and had a smooth ride. Hard to park and used an immense amount fo gas. The 455 engine had issues with overheating.

The Buick Estate Wagon was the Cadillac of wagons. These were bought by upper middle and upper class folks.

This is right up there with Ford Country Squires, Mercury Colony Parks. Oh yeah. And those wonderful Checker Station Wagons. But really. These old station wagons are American treasures. :)

The ultimate Buick Family Truckster. Never see the likes of that again.

The Buick Estate Wagons were the best wagons. Very luxurious,plush,big payload,smooth ride, & great towing capacity with the Awesome 455-4 torque monster engine & turbo 400 trans!!! Very practical vehicle!!!

Wow! That's a lot of red!✌✌

Sure wish that demolition derbys hadn't claimed a large number of the surviving wagons of this era. Between that, and the ones that rusted through, these things are a rare sighting these days.

We had one as a kid. Great car and absolute tank. Drove it to college one day and hit a very large pig. It didn’t make a dent. Also great driving through large snow drifts in winter.

Beautiful looking car overall. I've always loved American station wagons. I love the condition of this car. This car has either been restored to original, like new condition, or it has always been garaged and well taken care of. Either way, its condition is impeccable! Huge engine, 7.5 litres! Sweet!

When I started driving in 1979 my mom and dad handed me down the 1970 Buick Estate Wagon. What a car that was I would love to have it again. Loaded with an 8-track player under the glove compartment and the 455 4-barrel V-8 engine.

friggin gorgeous

I approve. Buick is my favorite division of GM.

I want it.

Wow! I thought my parents 73 was loaded...This has to have almost every available factory option except the carpet in the cargo area when rear seats are down, chrome styled wheels and vinyl top...

GORGEOUS

Hi Austin, I checked online and understand it ranged from 8.6 to 10.4 M.P.G giving a range of some 189 miles between fill ups. Cheers.

Stunning. Real American DNA.

excellant car. love it

0:33 nice touch to have the Christopher Cross 8-track inserted into the fold-away radio dial. We had a '71. I am the youngest in the family, so I always had to ride in the "way-back". We had the lower end model with crank windows and no fold-up rear seat. I used to slip and slide back there way before you had to strap in your kids. But the way-back had advantages that I could trash talk my brothers or my sister and could still be far enough away from my father's reach back to slap us if we got out of line.

I had the Pontiac version. A fantastic vehicle.

Hi Austin, Yes the Buick wagon of 1974 its longer than the 1984 Chevrolet Caprice wagon built from 1977 to 1990. The Buick wagon was 5510 mm in length vs. The Caprice wagon of 5460 mm. The Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser of 1971 to 1976 was I think the longest of the GM wagons (Buick, Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile) at the time and that was down to the design of its bumpers.

Just watched this vid - this wagon was full of options allot of the high end Electra's didn't have.

Fabulous

A nice looking wagon, but the camera switches too fast. Must be a young person operating it.

Beautiful.

Nice original. Hard to find even in Californy.

WHAT A GORGEOUS WAGON , ESPECIALLY THE '74 MODEL. IS THIS ONE FOR SALE??

Nice wagon, I'm impartial to her chevy siblings but she's sweet as well

I just happen to stumble across this Breathe taking wagon and noticed the steering wheel is the exact same as on previous year Cadillacs with a different medalian in the center of the wheel. I first thought someone changed out the steering wheel. 30 seconds in the video.

Ermozo carrasooo. Logro del mejorr carro del. Mundo no ay otro igual enel mundo

Very Nice :)

sharp ......

Thanks. That seems very low to me but I've not seen one of these in person, Surely it's larger than an 84 Caprice Classic which is longer than even an extended 97 Plymouth Voyager.

beast

Would love to hear that V8 under the hood /bonnet - no view.

Gets the title of the most heavy US made car ever...... Except for the 1930s v16 Cadillac....

Beautiful Color combination. GM, was the best, what happened?

Hi, No not that I am aware of. It was in California but has moved to New York.

Is the Buick Estate Wagon still available?

About what could one get in fuel economy in this model of car? I was reading about 8 or 10.

Please show the car driving from the outside ?

So is this for sale?

Do you still own this wagon?

Cars were better so was America back then

The bumpers alone each weighed more than a Civic.

5 gallons per mile, I’ll bet.

If this donet vintage's car contact me,save the vintage's car please

Estados unidos El mejorr

I could live in that. Thanks for the video!
