    Awee, I'm touched that I give you nightmares. That's so sweet. :rofl2: I have to agree that we could forgo the vision.

    My grandpa had a Mercury Zephyr just like that back in the early and mid 80s, except it had the lace wheel covers. Same color too. Straight 6 engine. It was a little small for his taste, but he got it in a pinch after my aunt wrecked the Impala wagon. In 1988 he traded it for an 86 Caprice wagon.

    The Impala wagon looked identical to this, including the wheel covers.

    Can't find a pic matching the Caprice wagon, but it was dark reddish brown and had those wheel covers that a lot of the next gen Caprice cop cars had.

    It's there now. Nice wagon. I wish I could go back to every wagon from my past and save it. When I get a time machine it will be the second thing I do... The first being winning the lottery. And the 3rd being that I would then take requests to go back a save all of your guys' wagons from your pasts. Free of charge of course. :D I remember when I was about 5 or 6 my parents looked into an 80s model Buick wagon and I loved it. It was brown with a tan interior and not a dent or scratch on it. Unfortunately they ended up with a Ford something or other that looked good but wasn't so mechanically sound. A sort of sawdust in the engine and a super glued bumper with the seller suddenly disappearing kind of situation.

    Now that is one of the nicest looking Buick wagons I have seen in a long time. It looks like the one my parents looked at but it wasn't that nice.

    Well...I wouldn't get too excited. The sellers feedback is atrocious!
