    I registered this morning and thought it appropriate to introduce myself. My name is Randy and I have a five month old small 'special interest' car dealership. 24 cars. I am the CEO, Janitor, lot boy, top salesman, financial consultant, facilities manager and I clean the restroom.

    About my wagon: On this lot, I own a 1958 corvette fuelie, a 1937 Cord Westchester, 38 Packard, some nice Chevelles, Mustang, Custom pickups, nice Harleys, etc. My point is that my wife and family are good with all of this. They like me chasing my dream at 54 years old. Now, I bought the ultimate! Crème de le crème! The car I have been destined for all my life.......a 1995 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon!!! Be it the sled that it is, I am alone on this one. My wife, kids, grandkids, brothers, neighbors. All of them. They just dont get how cool this car is. So, I found this site in hopes that others will help lift me to the appropriate level of pride of Roadmaster Ownership, where I belong.

    Seriously, this car is really sick. It has 98k on it and some of the usual weak point these cars have but, DAMN, this thing is cool. Thank you for reading and just for the heck of it, we have built a webite. Never done one before. It is www.badboyauto.com If you get a chance to see it, you will notice the Buick is not listed.....Thats right....Not for sale. Thank you for your time.

    Good story! Ain't it great to be the ugly duckling? With all that's going on today in the car biz, these wagons are gonna be the new Nomadic camels! People are moving all over the continent looking for work and a future. Mini-vans just don't cut it. Welcome aboard! :Welcome:

    Welcome. Those are very cool. Is it still 'in the crate'? or wood delete?

    Mine's a Chev, but the same under the skin.

    I love Portland. I've been there a couple of times because my wife has a sister there, and is from the Pacific Northwest. I'll have to drop by for a visit next time we go.:drink:

    Saw a Roadmaster wagon at K-Mart today. My favorite color combo, tan with woodgrain!
