    Oh yeah, much better pics! :) Cant tell anything from that one B&W pic.

    This car is amazing! I agree, would be even more amazing if it were a 3-seater.

    I know I said it on the Buick wagons, which I love the early 70s Buicks with woodgrain, but the '73 Caprice Estate is my favorite clamshell wagon.

    There was a guy in the Los Angeles area with a wagon just like this, same color and even the same condition that he had for sale for like $2000! I had called (it was on Craigslist), but the car had been sold moments before! :( I thought this may even be the same car, but his had the 400 engine and his was a 3-seater.

    Unique this car dont have the 3rd seat (guess the original owner didnt need to haul more than 6 people), as it is an otherwise very highly optioned car... the 454, cruise, power windows/locks, power gate, luggage rack, etc. Looks like the only other thing missing is power seat and Comfortron A/C.

    I would trade my 72 Kingswood Estate, 93 Fleetwood and 95 Town Car for this wagon! :D

    That is a nice wagon so I would take it either with or without woodgrain.

    Me too. My only wish if it were my car (which it isnt and never will be unless I win the lottery, which I doubt), is that it had the 3rd seat option. I would never have any use for it, but something about having that option makes a wagon extra cool.
