Ooooo - loaded, too.

OOOHHHH!!! You just have to love that roof. Not many around, too many people used the roofs when they customized their vans in the '70's.

That roof is awesome!

 

yeah, its really pretty. I have been watching it for a couple weks now. doesnt seem to be getting too much action

 

I have passed the advert for this one as well as the '58 Edsel wagon on to a buddy who is looking for a vintage TV for his vintage Silver Streak trailer (Airstream competitor). I think he will really like the Edsel but I suspect he'll see the practicality of the Buick. It will be interesting to see if he bites on either of them. I really really like the Buick. My buddy had the Old's equivalent and it was nice and very original, but I've always preferred the Buick look. A little squarer, seems to compliment the roof nicely.

 

That roof is cool, I have one sort of like that.

No pics up close?, beware of the dreaded skywagon roof and rear side window channel rust.
The car looks nice from 50 feet away but most likely has a lot of miles and everything will need rebuilt, sitting low now. If the body is clean and if everything's there it's pretty nice...for $3K.

 

some of the old post have pics of that area. A little rust bubble by one window, and the headliner looks mint. It seems to be a REALLY nice car. I like the buick styling a lot. I keep holding out for a pontiac something because I have so many extra parts. I really dont want to have to collect spares for a second brand. I am pressed for space. I should buy it. I probably wont. Then I will kick myself.

 

You could get a sportwagon or vista cruiser and turn it into the pontiac equivalent. If you had a place to do the work. front clip, interior, maybe redo the quarters.

 

i am not really into the Vista roofs to be honest. This is the first car I have liked it on. overall i like just like this car. its easier for me to like a non POntiac car, because I keep all my Pontiacs. Any Pontiac I buy is like getting married, but any off brand is like a fling. But I am really thinking of getting something non Pontiac just for a change. Who knows? So many cars, so little money (and storage space)!

 

Goat Wagon?

A Buick isn't "off-brand"? The GM marques are more alike than different, engines are the biggest thing, otherwise it's just the shape and the interior more or less.
Converting a vista roofed car into a Pontiac would be a stretch, be easier to put the vista roof on a Poncho. You would have to section it 5 inches since they're that much longer than a "normal" station wagon, otherwise no problem.
But you aren't really into Vista roofs so the point is mooted. To each their own, personally I would rather have too much than not enough.

I have a Poncho too.
I've had a bunch, never had an Olds before. The more I look at them I think I may need a Sportie next, then I could be a real BOP man.

 

Wow, gorgeous Goat, BV. Is that a real one or a clone?

 

Nice 'vert, BV.
