    Pretty unique as far as clamshells go. Love that interior.

    You should plan on the rust being a bit worse than what is showed......

    Currently at $12,100 with a little more than 2 days to go..... This might hit $18k or so....

    I like the slicksides. It makes the car design look clean and uncluttered. I wonder if this car saw service at a funeral parlor? Reason I say this, back in the 80's early 90's when I lived in PA a funeral parlor had a slickside Buick wagon with the similar treatment as a go-fer car for supplies, flowers, etc.

    You would think....BUT I think there was a state law that was something like if you pick up a body, it has to be in a purpose-built vehicle...Otherwise, you'd have people picking up Uncle Harry in his favorite Packard or T-bird.

    This probably varies from state to state depending on laws…but here in NJ my wife has family members who own a funeral home and they do “removals” with an ordinary mini van with rollers in the back for the coffins. Windows are tinted so not always blocked…but I do remember station wagons being used years ago before window tint and had black vinyl with landau bars. Many homes use windowless cargo vans.

    I would agree.

    Not perfect but we are talking a 50 year old car this point.

    The good points outweigh the flaws.
