Future Classic: 1995 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon
The Buick Roadmaster name was first used in 1931 but fell into oblivion after the 1958 model year. It was revived in 1990 as a full-sized dinosaur station wagon that defied all convention in a time when everybody was downsizing and building unibody things. In 1994, the Buick Roadmaster got a massive powerplant upgrade when it ditched the old L03/L05 V8 and replaced it with an LT1 V8 with more horsepower, torque, and better fuel economy. If you’ve never had the pleasure of owning one of these ancient masters of the road, you should. Find this 1995 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon offered for $2,345 in Menifee, CA via facestate wagbook.

My dad had one of these for about a month; bought it for his wife w/o discussing with her but she never liked the shape/look or idea of driving a big wagon. Borrowed it to drive from Southern California beaches to visit my mom East of Palm Springs. Impressively quick for how heavy it was and super quiet on the inside all while delivering 20+ mpg. Tons of room inside, but pretty sure it was wider than my full size 4 door pick up and maybe just as long.
She was wider?
I had a Grandpa Gold one for a number of years in the mid-teens that I used to haul my race cars. The PO used drywall screws to keep the black rubber trim from disappearing while driving. The car was quick enough, very comfortable and I had eight people in it to grab dinner.
The a/c compressor seized about midnight ( 105* outside) while heading back from Laguna Seca. Between that and It failing CA smog by running too lean (who knew?), it went to live on a farm upstate.
It looks like it was “rode hard and put away wet”.
You’re going to spend a lot to replace that crime scene of an interior: seat(s), carpet, headliner, and let’s assume heavy deodorizing. Might as well spend a little more for a better example. If the interior was treated like a public restroom, how good do you think it really is mechanically?
