    Hi there!:cheers: My name is Rick. I currently own a 1964 Buick Lesabre wagon. Many of you had probably seen it for sale this past spring in Kalamazoo, MI. It has the original 401 Nailhead. I have put whitewall tires on the buick rallyes and a dual Porter muffler exhaust since I've owned it. My plans are to put airbag suspension on it, bodywork and paint, redo interior, then hopefully some rechroming. I'm just having fun driving it for now though.

    I previously owned a 96 Buick Roadmaster wagon that I put chevy truck rallyes with Buick emblems on the center caps, dual exhaust with chrome can tips.

    I have a sweet spot for wagons just like all of you.:) I will post some pics of my car in the near future.

    Here's a video...

    Welcome Ricky. Your LeSabre is sweet looking and even sweeter sounding. I like the wheels on there, even though I'm a huge fan of factory stock original.
    Beautiful wagon.

    I really, REALLY would like to see more pix.:yup: I love those wagons. I almost bought one with bucket seats awhile back. I didn't like the color combo but still wish I would have bought it.

    Welcome! That is a beautiful car! Can't say I've seen it around at the shows around here. I guess I haven't really made it to many this summer though either. I'll definately be keeping an eye out though.
