    Looks pretty nice. A good engine detail would make it even nicer.

    "I’m selling my 1986 Olds wagon. I’ve owned it for 11 years now. All original with 123,000. Oil change every 3,000 miles, always garaged. 307 small block V8. New headliner ( pictures were taken before headliner was replaced), new complete brake job, new tires 5,000 ago, new Interstate battery, recent tune up, no 3rd seat, power locks, brakes, and steering, analog clock, cruise control, A/C, tilt steering, rare gauge package, and exterior drivers door thermometer. My wagon is road worthy and drives great on the freeway. I used to drive it as a daily driver."

    Great find sinc76, would give you multiple thumbs up if I could. I have never, ever cared for the color beige on a car but if I were searching for a wagon to buy I would be on this one right now. Even the impossible to find back window wipe looks intact.

    I'm amazed to see one without power windows! Those gauges are not easy to find either.

    My thought, too. The car does have some options (A/C, cruise control, wiper delay, tilt wheel, AM/FM radio), but no power windows, locks, or seat.

    I wonder if the temperature really was over 100 degrees when he took this photo. I have pretty much the exact same thermometer on my '78 Toronado, but it is part of the mirror. It's not in the greatest shape, and I found a replacement mirror in better shape, but it doesn't have the thermometer, and I want to keep it because it's unusual and because it works.

    Interesting, I have the same mirror with built in thermometer for my 76 Buick, just with the Buick insignia in it. Regarding temperature in L.A., I live close by and it's been very hot this month. It was probably over 100 in the sun or definitely mid 90's when he took the picture.

    I can't recall ever seeing a car with the thermometer like that! I love it, I think it's really neat.
