    Wow, what a nice car. Wish I had a couple of extra dollars to give it a good home. It's kind of interesting it has crank windows, although come to think of it, since it only has an AM radio, I guess it wasn't too optioned out.

    I love the front and rear fender design on those. Same with the Cutlass later on beginning in 1973.

    I'm depressed too. Both clamshells shown today are nicer than mine. Oh well, one day mine will be that nice. She runs nice today.

    Just looked at the Youtube video. I'd swear that wagon used to be owned by a radio personality in Dallas some 9-10 years ago. I met him at a local Olds meet. The white with brown interior was a stunning combination so I'm thinking it's the same wagon. He had it repainted white and had new woodgrain laid over the original woodgrain. Between that and the exceptional interior, it was a nice looking wagon for sure!

    His story was sorta the opposite of mine; In '97 I was looking for a 71-73 Custom Cruiser and stumbled across a stunning original owner loaded '73 Chyrsler T&C wagon which I could not possibly pass up so I put my Olds quest on hold and bought that one instead (I have thing for skirts). He was looking for a 73 Chrysler wagon and found the 71 Custom Cruiser instead. He later sold it and I lost touch with him.
