    Hiya folks.. I'm new to this forum, but not to wagons! I grew up riding around in Mom's '85 Caprice Estate, and grew fond of wagons. Sadly, my brother lost control on a patch of ice several years ago, and smeared it into a concrete barrier.. Three years ago, I located a 1987 Buick LeSabre Estate on craigslist, and brought it home. It's been my daily driver ever since.

    It had some surface rust, so I sanded it down and brush painted it to keep the rust from spreading too bad. I also installed a Cobra CB radio, and 102" steel whip on the rear bumper. I cant seem to find my pics of the CB stuff at the moment, but when I do I'll post them. Finally, last summer I added some red racing stripes to it.

    Enjoy the pics, and thanks for reading.

    Well, I love cowboys and I love wagons, so I knew I'd like this one. I had a Cobra CB in my 78 crew cab, they are fun.
    Welcome! Thanks for sharing and I hope you enjoy the forum.
