    This is what this 1971 Custom Cruiser should look like. :D

    Pics of the actual car for sale would be great!

    Why is the seller "skeptical of posting pics?" What's the harm?

    Hopefully somebody can get some pics om this guy. I always look for other 71 custom cruisers, just out of intrest since I own one. I know of this white one, but can not find another 71. Here a pic of mine, one owner, 120K mile wagon

    These are great cars, and drive wonderfully. If you have the money, get that wagon, low miles, paperwork, one owner...

    The statement doesn't even make sense?
    How can you be skeptical of your own picture postings???

    I distinctly remember housewives in upscale neighborhoods I worked in back in the day using those cars to haul their garbage bags down their long driveways to the street on garbage day.....all piled up on the hood.:yahoo:
    It was the thing to do, they either had Olds or Buick clamshell wagons or full full size Cadillacs because they had the hugest hood expanses.:rofl2:

    They were very popular with the upscale Bel-Air, California families where my dad delivered milk. Saw quite a few around there in the early 70's.

    Very nice wagon! I love it! I bet your furry friend there in the front seat likes it too! :) Looks nicely optioned! I see the 3rd seat, luggage rack, power gate and woodgrain? How about the inside options?

    Not sure whose wagon this is, but it was posted on a recent interesting post on the citydata forums... all I can say is that it is a '71 Custom Cruiser pulling a hay wagon... lol.

    Very nice, sound nicely optioned... to me, the woodgrain and 3rd seat are nice features on these wagons.
