1975 Buick Estate Wagon

I still say that if I woke up Christmas morning and this was under my tree, or in my driveway, I would think I'd died and gone to Heaven. This, to me, is the epitome of Buick design in the 70s. How the designers managed to make a car that large and that heavy look so lithe and graceful I will never know. If I had the money, and the space to keep her over the winters, this would be mine without much of a second thought.

 

Looks like a steal if the under side is clean

 

I'd definitely drive that and be proud of it. The fog lights above the bumper would have to go away though. I'd either relocate them lower or do without. Maybe it'll still be available after I'm settled in Ohio.

 

Is there any chance we could get some photos of the front seating area?

 

Old Blue I emailed you. Let me know. Thanks

 

Now for sale in the UK. Another GM clamshell ends up in Europe.

This is odd to me. The link above takes you to a site featuring a '73 Olds Custom Cruiser (members will recognize it), one of a few other cars in the UK seller's collection that are a hodgepodge of pretty unspectacular cars. I mean, it's not like their in pristine condition or anything. For instance, there's a New Yorker with mismatched Imperial/Delta 88 hubcaps and driver interior door handle installed backward, a '61 New Yorker with body damage, a dilapidated '72 Dodge van (Dodge van?!), and more.

Is there really a market in the UK for mundane imports like these? Very odd.

 

I'm guessing Buick used the same wheel cover from '74 into the '75 model as well because I remember those wheel covers from Dad's '74 Electra.
I noticed the tailgate has the wood on it. Does anybody know if the wagons without wood still would have it on the tailgate? Seems odd.

 

Still for sale in the UK a year later. Apparently not a lot of demand.
