The third-generation Chevrolet Corvette is no stranger to custom modifications, but few are as radical as the Greenwood Sportwagon conversion. In the early 1970s customizer Chuck Miller created a one-off shooting brake for a drummer who needed more space; racer John Greenwood refined the idea into a kit sold through American Custom Industries and Eckler’s […]
This next car looks suspiciously like a Buick Sportwagon to me, but the seller is offering it as a Buick Special Wagon. Obviously, this model doesn’t have the pop-top vista windows you get with a Sportwagon and it only has 2 port holes on each side…but is it a Special, a Skylark, or a Sportwagon? […]
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 […]
It might not be the preferred Buick Sportwagon version, but this A-Body Vista Cruiser has the awesome skylight windows and all of the classic style you’ll ever need for a weekend family classic. 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 […]
