    Hello to fellow station wagon fans,
    I found this web site while searching for direction with the restoration of my 1995 Roadmaster wagon. I have finally decided to make a commitment to my favorite station wagon. My plans are to undertake the following upgrades: body repair and paint, restore the wood grain, replace the headlining, and replace the carpeting. Because the driver seat has a broken spring I hope to find a replace seat with a matching passenger mate.
    I bought my first station wagon, a 1996 Pontiac La Manns, when I graduated from graduate school in Richmond, VA, and moved to the mountains of NC to teach college level art. My interest was to have a car suited for carrying my paintings. I am still painting pictures and I have always owner a station wagon to this day. When GM stopped making wagons I switched to Plymouths and Dodges until they stopped making wagons. I traded a Ford Taurus wagon for the Roadmaster when it came available as a ‘cream puff’.
    I will get some pictures together and post them soon.

    :Welcome:WF66. There's lots of GM B body owners here so I'm sure you'll get more information than you'll ever need.

    Welcome WF66. Glad you found us. There are quite a few devotees to your wagon style and I'm sure you will get a ton of assistance and encouragement.

    Of course pictures are much desired so don't let that wagon be camera shy.

    It'll be interesting to see what decisions an artist will make regarding autobody and paint! (y)

    I say custom paint is a must, I am thinking if you have any skills at all, you could pick up air brushing pretty fast??
