Nice wagon PB! I believe that aircraft in the background is a Convair 240 though?? The DC3's were tail draggers.
MotoMike, you are correct about the airplane. I didn't bother to look it up, I was excited because I thought it was pretty cool to stumble upon it on the way home after buying an old car. Also on the ride home, I passed a dirty white '57 Packardbaker wagon going the other way on HWY 441. It looked as though it had been in a barn for 30 years and was just made driveable. Since he was going the opposite direction, I couldn't get a photo.
That's a nice looking Buick you got- congrats! I noticed that it has the 1986 & Up third mounted brake light added. When I was trying to buy one of those over a year ago is how I stumbled across this Forum, looking for info.
Nice! Your Buick does appear to originally have been a woody model. The darker paint is exactly where the wood would have been. I believe other versions of the B-body wagons offered 2-tone paint - Chevy Caprice and Pontiac for sure.
I have, chevy and i think pontiac tailights for this car, i would need to look, they been on a shelf for many years
Gray, see what you have and let me know. So far I've had no luck finding any replacement locally, and I don't want to deal with Ebay/Paypal if I can help it. A Buick part would be great, but as Fat Tedy mentioned above, a pair from another GM would be OK. At this point, anything that will fit in the hole would work. Maybe a little silver paint would make a Chev or Poncho light look more like a Buick part.....
Spotted these over on the GM Longroof Forum. http://gmlongroof.4umer.com/t6484-new-in-box-ac-delco-ac-compressor-and-misc-wagon-parts-for-sale
Thanks, BB. He had a Buick LH lite, and should be sending it tomorrow! Also thanks for the link, I didn't know about that forum. (I'm AlmostaBuick there)
You're welcome- glad I could help! I just recently joined over there under the same name after learning about it here. Look forward to hearing more about your progress with the Buick.
