1967 Buick Sport Wagon

340 V8. Very nicely restored Buick.

It IS the Vista Cruiser equivalent, and it does look great. But nearly $20K? Ouch.

 

I have always liked the 65-67 Sport Wagons just a little better than the same year Vista Cruisers (they loose me in 68 though) And this example is very nice.

I have always toyed with the Idea of finding a 65 Sport Wagon with front end Damage and installing a Pontiac Tempest Front Clip and interior, the body lines seem to line up on the 65 cars.

 

The wagon companion to my GS.

 

I like your thinking, Jeff. I agree completely. 66/67 Vista Cruisers to me were not all that pretty, especially with the woodgrain pattern down on the lower 1/3 of the body side. The Buick Sportwagons were much more stylish. Starting with the redesign in '68 though, I'd take the Olds.

 

I tried to get my wife interested in a 1967 Buick around here with that 340 motor, a 4-door LeSabre in blue and white...



It's a $2200 car. Not a wagon but would be really cool for her to drive in place of the Durango we sold.

 

Great looking Buick, My favorite years. Wish there were full photos of the car. It looks very nice.

 

The mom of a friend of mine in school had one of these as her daily driver. It was white with the Riviera road wheels and tan vinyl interior. I remember it had these imitation tooled-leather strips with chrome buckles, on the doors and the seats, if I remember correctly. It was a really sharp car. I thought it was a '67 at the time, but it might have been a '66.

 

Too bad you were not closer, not only is this one cheaper.... but it's a 2 door.

My mother drove a '65 Wildcat in high school with a fastback roofline. She hated that car because it was so big. When she and my dad got back from their 4 year honeymoon in Bermuda (yes, my parents spent the first four years of their married life on a tropical island, my dad tracked submarines for the Navy), the first thing they did was take the money out of the bank from selling the Wildcat and they bought a new 2-door Valiant with a Slant Six. Then they had a new Volare. Then they adopted me, then they adopted my sister, and it was station wagons until 1992.
