    Actually, this pic is interesting.

    Look at the hardware additions to the upper rear door, door pillar as well as the roof above the tailgate window. Could be to secure temporary side curtains?

    And maybe it was optioned that way to make it easier (more valuable) for resale once its service life was up?

    Check out the Dope lights (interior lights). those are bigger than factory. Not really enough cargo area pics to tell I saw a few odd brackets here and there too

    Hi. I ended up buying it and will definitely post more pictures when I get it delivered in a week or so. There was the rust at the bottom of the spare tire well from the pictures he sent me. I just fixed that on my 76 Buick which was an Arizona car so not too scared of that since they seem to rust there no matter what state they are from. It's my favorite color combo, white with a black roof so I went ahead and bought it. Thanks

    Great thank you. I'll make sure to post details on the wagon. I also ordered the Buick build sheet from the Sloan museum which will list the options. Curious what was ordered on an Amblewagon!

    Thank you for posting the ad! My 76 is in the process of getting ready for paint. Once it's done I'll definitely post some. It's a two-tone Firethorn red/white roof with woodgrain 3 seat car though.
    Lots of good Family miles by the previous owner.

    Actually if you pull the rear seat bottom it's very possible the build sheet is right there! Mine had 3 build sheets in it!

    My buick that got totaled was from Kent ohio rear window seal areas and the spare tire well are STILL perfect! I was amazed!
