I got a wagon - don't know what it is yet...

Hey it's a new episode of 'Guess 442's Wagon'.......

Here's my guess:
'90 Olds Custom Cruiser.



There's also a possibility it could be a '92-'96 B-body, but probably not an Olds, since the Olds didn't come with wood.



And even though they referred to it as a 'boat', there's still a possibility that this is a 'boat' to them.....(This is Griswold's Cappy above BTW...)


Olds Ciera

 

How incredible for you these folks must thinking alot of you to give you such a gift. There family must have alot of great summer memories of this car. They must believe that you will take very good care for of this member of their family.


Oh yeah 442 if you are known here as a "wagonless fool" and now you have a wagon does that make you just a fool.


Congrats on the windfall.

 

could be a real oddball.....its possibly.....but im probably wrong

1990 oldsmobile Firenza wagon

 

So here's what I know for sure... It is a '91 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser. It has the glass roof with the roof rack. It is white. I couldn't find any that came with woodtrim, so I'm thinking it might be 2-tone instead... I have no idea on the interior color. I'm hoping for tan though... My vision would be to create a 442/Hurst Olds tribute wagon, but we'll see what I end up with first. I expect it's a column shift - I don't think they made any of these with a console - true???

I had a wonderful discussion about wagons with the family last fall, and my enthusiam for wagons must have been apparent. I had no idea that I'd end up with this car - I was just sharing my passion...

I should have the car in a week or so - just waiting for the estate paperwork to be processed. Stay tuned...:2_thumbs_up_-_anima

 

Or a pace car replica but definably your added touch is required.

 

Yup - that's a cool idea too...

 

Krash Kadillac put a pic on of a white custom cruiser with wood on it though?

 

Nope, the B-body he posted is a Capy... I'm thinking it looks like this:



BUT THIS IS JUST A GUESS!!!

 

You could still do the gold upper!

 

Yup - it could definitely be a 442 if it looks like this...

 

I used to see a 91 or 92 Custom Cruiser wagon with woodgrain in Princeton, NJ for many years. Maybe the dealer added the woodgrain from a Caprice?

 

I'm having all kinds of fantasies about what this thing could look like!!! I know from years of playing with cars that "wheels make the car". I'm thinking about different looks - 442 clone, Hurst/Olds, Vista Cruiser, etc. Whichever I decide, the first step will be wheels...

I found this pic while surfing for photos:



Impala SS wheels do look great on this. I'm looking for suggestions of other "factory" style wheels I could use to give it one of the looks mentioned about... Do they make 17" Oldsmobile style rallye rims in a 5-5 bolt pattern? I guess they could be 15 or 16's, but I like the look of 17's - not too big, but enough to evoke a performance look for this era...

Thoughts/ideas???

 

haha wow I'd be about ready to burst if I were you...

 

Well....if it's a woody....it may be a Cutlas Ciera wagon.
Although, I don't see how anyone could call one of those "The Boat".
This one is a different model year, I think, but, basically, they were all the same.

 

No, it's DEFINITELY a '91 Custom Cruiser - that part I'm pretty sure of... She said it had the glass roof with the rack behind it - they only did that on the Custom Cruiser in the Olds models...

Yup - the waiting is definitely torture!!!
