    Hello to all, just 'cruising' on by, realized, despite being a member since 2009, I never posted an introduction, so here it goes now! I have a 1972 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser which I've had since 2006, the project and adventures with it go on constantly. Seeing how helpful folks are on the Classic Oldsmobile site, I am sure there will be many kind and helpful folks on this forum too, and I'll do what I can as well to contribute and help. Good day to all, and a happy and safe New Year! Regards, Howie

    Thank you very much to all, it is very kind the welcomes received. Yes, I do look forward to the madness, helping folks, and plethora of different station wagons, the ideas and directions taken to get them the way they are, and of course, the stories behind it all. Hopefully I can figure out how to post pictures on this site and in this way get pictures up of our wagon, named 'Sammy' after a wonderful feline we had in our lives for many years. Best wishes to all, Howie

    Thank you very much! I am getting great enjoyment even with the quick glances at the wagons all over the place. Your collection of wagons (and other vehicles) is really nice. Thanks for posting. Howie

    :Welcome: I guess this deserves a new welcome. Three lousy posts since 2009. I've had that many since lunch! Look around and tell us what you like, hate, and want to do with your station wagon. It's a fun place to visit and you may learn a thing or three and find the perfect new old wagon or part you can't live without.:dance:

    Thank you. I figure better late then never. I have written up and posted pictures in the 'garage' section of the forum listing things about the wagon and where it is going. I will be looking at the site more in depth as the days pass. An UltraVan? I had a chance to drive one several years ago. A very interesting concept.
