    I like the red. This is one where I think the wood grain vinyl would not look better

    Would have to be tough to repatriate the front and back seats. One looks cloth, one looks pleather. I don’t believe that was an option.

    Brad is correct. From the 1979 Buick Full Line Prestige brochure. Circled in green.

    I think I saw that on here before, the cloth front vinyl back was so if your kids spilled their ice cream/drink/food it was easier to clean.

    Down to $1,600. This looks like a solid car from here, minus need of a polishing.

    Doesn’t sound like an easy guy to get a hold of to see it. Driver side rear door looks like some sideswipe damage. From polishing a lot of red cars in 70’s, I’ll bet the hood and roof are a whole different red than the sides. It may just be too ugly up close to take to a car show or drive around with any pride without a pile more work. I would like a wagon like this of this vintage, but I am $3k at his price to get it home before I get to see it. Then it is real risky.
