    That looks like an Olds or Buick rear top section grafted onto a Fleetwood.
    If I happened across that car in person, you bet I would stop to look.

    One sure thing about this one is that it LOOKS like a factory job. We've seen some Cadillac wagons on here that look like pure hack jobs. This one is spectacular. of course, so is the price, but with the history, that is understandable.

    This is one 'celebrity' vehicle where the name behind it really does bump up the value. I've seen others (namely Liberace' and Michael Jackson) were they thought the name made the vehicle worth like a quarter of a million.....

    I think the asking price on this one is entirely reasonable.

    Given the gas mileage (well, lack of it) that this wagon would have gotten I'm sure there was more than a few gas station jockeys (yep, they pumped your gas back in those days) blown away when the driver got out to stretch.
