    Hi

    I hope you liked my very original title for my into post :). To keep it simple I like personal transportation modules and I have a special thing for the wagon version of the personal transportation module.

    To put it simple over 50% of my models are wagons. I think what makes them special to me is that most people did regard them as use and abuse and discard and they are rare now.. It's also the styling they often capture an time preriod a lot better than a 2dr HT.. there more room for styling on a wagon than on a sedan or coupe..

    Anyways lets see what wagons there are in the collection:
    1958 Buick Caballero
    1971 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser
    1973 Volvo 1800ES (thats a wagon sports car)
    1975 Buick Estate Wagon
    1980 Mini Clubman Estate
    1995 Buick Roadmaster Wagon
    1997 Volvo V90

    Well beside the last Volvo which isn't really in the collection it just happens to be a wagon and the current winter car... Ah from a cute perspective the Mini Estate can probably fit fine in the cargo area of the 75 Buick thats is how small it is.. It's like a toy :)

    Well well, I will if people want talk more about each of them.. but this my mini into for now..

    Cheers Dyna

    :Welcome: Dyna! That is fine collections of wagons you have there. I wish I had the time/space/money for even keeping one classic, but anyway, that is life! Good to have you on board!

    :Welcome:

    I just joined today also, Nice wagons, I remember seeing a caballero wagon at a car show, It was there a couple years in a row and became the one car I would look for, it was red/cream with surf boards mounted on the roof, The car was restored with no expense spared, just beautiful.

    how about some pics :thumbs2:

    Will dig out some pics.. it's a project but a solid one and the interior is in good condition. It's also fully loaded, comes with PSeat, PWindows, PSteering, PBrakes, AirRide/Suspension (the GM one not modern stuff), TrailMaster Spotlight/rear view mirrors (both sides), AC plus some smaller options too like brake waring etc..

    It's a sad day to day although.. but more about that later..

    Cheers Dyna

    I read your other posts about the deal gone wrong. Truly sorry that folks do that. But your collection is one fine fleet, nonetheless. :Welcome:
