    He has posted previously when he has had other wagons for sale and that looks like the same setting in these pics.

    You are correct, HotRodRacer. It is in my area. It's in my garage. Haha

    Yes, jwdtenn. It is me.

    I have 4 wagons now, HotRodRacer.

    I recently bought this one. About two days after I sent the money, a door opened for another project. A guy called and said he could get my '66 Squire in his shop. It was too late to back out on the Buick. I ended up buying it and cleaning it up. Now I'm trying to find it a good home. It's a good solid car. Obviously not perfect. The price is negotiable.

    It spent its entire life in Dallas, TX.

    It's a sickness, you know. You and I both have it, although just this past Saturday I sold one of the herd, my 1957 Oldsmobile Super 88. It hurts to see them go, but I am focusing on the wagon and knew I wouldn't get to it anytime soon. Glad to hear your Squire is getting the paint it deserves. I hope someone has to have the Buick, too. :)

    What’s that? 19,000 miles? That engine compartment looks awfully purty

    Thanks Grizz. That's 119,000. It has been fairly well maintained in its lifetime.

    . I would drop the boy of at a “Mother’s Day out” program twice a week towards the end of last year in my station wagon. There was a guy that really loved it and told me about all the memories in his dad’s 80 something Buick estate. Said he was in the hunt for another one and this one would be perfect. Exactly what he’s looking for. I’ll try and contact the school, maybe I can get in touch with him.

    The interior plastics that turn chalky - what, if anything, is the solution? Great car, by the way.

    I think the only solution for the plastic is a good parts car. It looks to have an updated a/c compressor on it so I imagine that's been upgraded. Looks like a very good car for the money. Does it have the tow package? I know some folks in the Buick Club of America that may be interested if it did. Any idea what rear end is in it?

    Is it actually plastic? It looks like leather? Or a substitute?
