This next car has some of the features you want in a vintage car advertisement as the buyer which is a few hastily snapped photos and a low asking price. It isn’t a good example as how to sell a car, because the details are extremely limited…but a 68 Sportwagon with a 4-speed mated to […]
The Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser was the corporate twin to Buick’s fabulous SportWagon and part of GM’s A-body platform that includes the Buick Special, Olds Cutlass, Pontiac Grand Prix, Pontiac Tempest, and Chevrolet Chevelle. Today’s example looks in good shape and has a trick hidden EFI system installed in the Olds Jetfire Rocket V8. Find this […]
This next car is personal…not because I have any interest, ownership, or investment in this particular car — but because it is a car that looks to have one wheel in the local classic car scene and another in the junk yard. It has some rust in the wheel wells and it doesn’t have the […]
This next car comes as a tip from Rock On! who calls it: The official station wagon of Daily Turismo! Yes, the OG Buick Sportwagon is most certainly the official station wagon of Daily Turismo — partially because they fit the bill of being affordable, rare, cool, eccentric, and radical…but also because I’ve got a green […]
As a fellow fan (and owner) of home made junk and the Buick SportWagon, I have to admit that I am intrigued by this next car. The concept of a shift-it-yourself Buick Sportwagon with some Wildcat GrandSport style grill is cool…but the DIY interior and manual single piston drum brakes hold this thing back…well..those brakes […]
This next car is something close to my heart…and I’m genuinely curious to see how much it gets when the gavel hits the block, because it isn’t too far from the ’65 SportWagon that I’ve got sitting in my garage. Unfortunately, this one has the lower spec Wildcat 310 V8 (instead of the upgraded 4bb […]

Find this 1965 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser offered for $16,000 in Detroit, MI via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck. From the seller: 1965 Olds Vista […]
When friends feed your weakness you don’t know whether to thank them or smack them. In this case, thanks to tipper Oldsmobuick for feeding my insatiable wagon jones with his tips on this 1965 Buick Sportwagon which he found on craigslist in Stanwood WA for $8800, and this 1965 Chevelle Malibu Wagon which he found […]
DT’s resident wagon expert, Buick-nut, paint-snob and grandpa (while technically not a grandpa as far as he is aware, his hair has been fully gray for decades) Hunsbloger started a long dialogue about SportsWagons, Vista Cruisers and the general state of 60’s wagons today. It was too good of a conversation to just send to […]
The third generation Buick Skylark, 1964-1972 was based on GM’s intermediate sized chassis and shared parts with the Olds F-85, Pontiac Tempest and Chevy Chevelle. It was a large car by todays standards and was available as a convertible, coupe, hardtop, sedan and wagon. Power came from a variety of inline 6 and V8 options, […]
