    Cool car but I thinks it's a Skylark, it's not a Sportwagon for sure.;)
    Buick Sportwagons have the roof windows like the Vista Cruisers.:)

    The roof rack is hideous, looks like it's from a boat.
    Buick GS California wagon?
    Probably made about as many of those as they did 442 wagons, it's a one of none.:D

    That's because the model isn't listed when you want to sell (or search for) a Buick Special, so for some reason the seller decided to list it as a Riviera...

    There is a remote chance (?) it could have been a dealer instaled promo option. It has happend to several cars of that era and there is no trace of them in any factory recoreds.

    The Mustang Stallion is one example....
