    Pretty cool.
    I like that white car.:D
    The guy didn't know what year it was, easy to tell from a mile away.
    The '91's have the front of the rear side window molding like the Roadmaster wagons, the '92's don't. There are a few other small exterior trim differences like the aluminum wheel center cover rocket color and nose emblem background color are red on the 92's but that window trim is the biggest one.

    Cool link. I enjoy the links posted on here to his page from time to time. My folks had a 1990 Olds 98 for year. They finally sold it with over 200,000 mikes on it a few years back. I get the same reaction with my Plymouth sometimes. Younger folks have never heard of "Plymouth".
    I also like the photo of the two GM wagons in the parking lot. Like many of the photos we share, it used to be an almost everyday occurrence to see vehicles like ours side by side in a lot. Now it's a rare occasion worth documenting.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Wagonfest Florida at Daytona on Easter weekend. You can see about 20 91-96 wagons all in one place. From stock show cars to modified hot rods. See the info on the longroof forum.

    I bet that is a great sight to behold.
    My comment though was more along the lines of normal everyday life, not special gathering. I was lamenting the fact that these cars were once very common and seeing them together in everyday life was normal.
    Now when you you see two together in the same parking lot (and it isn't for a show or something along those lines) its very uncommon.

    There was a tan on tan RMW parked next to my OCC at the junk yard yesterday. I was really shocked. I meet up with a couple of wagons at junk yards on a regular basis. One is a white caprice. I also saw a blue Caprice wagon on the road. t/here are a number of wagons around here. Some are nice, and others are rough. Another red Caprice pulled up beside me at the local parts store a while back. The guys working were amazed at seeing two wagons together.
