    So it has been quite awhile since I have been around, mainly because I was wagon-less for a bit, hiding in sedan and SUV life. I have been working on pulling something pretty special out, which I will complete this weekend. 1963 Buick Invicta in Rose Mist, with Rose Tartan interior. 401 nailhead with less than 10K on a rebuild. Yeah it is pink, yeah the interior is too. I don't care, I was in love when I saw it. My girlfriends father owned it and I got it for close to free. I have to figure out where there is a break in the fuel line, as it runs on external tank, but wont draw from the main tank. Lines look pretty recent, so I might be digging, but it was last on the road 3 years ago. Anyone ever see one of these one year only wagons before? If you have have you ever seen one in this color? Probably just leave it as is and clear over the surface rust. I somehow found the fabric for the drivers seat so that will be tidied up as will some of the door panels, but it is all there and functioning!

    Welcome back! That looks like a really nice Buick wagon. I'd drive that even if it is Rose Colored.:thumbs2:

    Make sure you wear your rose colored glasses.
    Hope it's not too pink!:)
