    Price seems reasonable for a 24.5k mile vehicle. This is within a day's drive of NY.

    I think this Buick is in the bronze color that 72KingswoodEstate has been looking for on a '73 Caprice Estate.

    one to get

    Looks good on the outside. Interior pics show more wear and tear. As I have said before, even about the pics of my own wagon, cameras can be kind. Still, this one's a hubba hunny...:)

    Yes, sure looks like it. It is a very rare color on the '73 Caprice Estate wagons.

    This Buick Estate is amazing, but sadly, no A/C... apparently a northern USA or Canadian car. :( Also interestingly has a manual gate. Very oddly optioned car for sure... has power windows, power locks, cruise, tilt, wood-grain, luggage rack, Custom luxury interior, bumper guards, bumper rub strips and towing package.

    I don't see any photos of the rear seats, but it does appear that it is a 2-seater. :( The car is highly optioned other than missing A/C and 3rd seat. It would have been nice to have those options as well and icing on the cake would have been cornering lights and light monitors. It is still a beautiful car that has been well preserved.

    Looks great. Most likely this is an Ontario car, and one that has been looked after to an incredible level! Way out of my price range, but a very lovely car none the less.

    Yeah it is amazing! If it had A/C and 3rd seat options, I think I would have to sell my new car and get this one! :)

    Isn't it Harvest Gold?
    My dad had a 1970 Chevy truck that had Ochre paint and it looks like the same color to me.
    No A/C is weird for a '73 luxo-sled, that's too bad. It's not something that would be easy to retrofit but a vintage air type unit would work, could install rear A/C at the same time too. No third seat but rear units help cool that huge interior down much better than just the front vents, and they're "cool".:(:D

    I remember this A/C lacking beauty! It is otherwise a very high optioned car, including the luxury interior option. I also remember it oddly having manual tailgate. Oddly seen on such a high optioned Buick clamshell wagon.
