    I am new here and realize this thread may have taken place already. However I am curious to see who has racked up the most miles on their wagon?
    I have two, a 92 Olds Custom Cruiser that I've had for 10 years. The odometer stopped working about 5 years ago. It had 207,000 when it stopped working.
    My other is a 91 Roadmaster that was purchased new by friends of mine. I remember when they got it. Seven years ago they decided to purchase a new car and I bought their wagon. It had 260,000 on it when I got it.
    It now has 322,000.
    Both cars are still mechanically sound. The Buick actually looks much better than the Olds.
    How many are on yours?

    I don't know. Every time we change the engine on the 55 Chevy we either reset or change the odometer. Now has a digital with a few hundred. Maybe that's original!!!:rofl2:
    But this could be interesting. Thanks.

    94k on my '69 Fairlane - not sure if that's 94, 194, 294....

    7500 on my almost 3 month old Outback. Had 6 miles on it when I bought it. Just got back from a two-week vacation in Florida (first road trip in it).

    My '02 Passatt wagon has 87,000 miles. My 67 Belvedere wagon has 52,000 miles.

    I do have a car with high mileage, but its not a wagon. My 67 Coronet convertible already had over 300,000 miles on it when I restored it and replaced the 318 with a rebuilt 383.

    My 93 RMW just turned over 200k last month.
    Last week two of my sisters loaded it to the headliner and drove it to Pigeon Forge TN to a Hilltop Mansion cabin they and a bunch of other family members had rented for the week.
    When they brought it back to me they had put a little over 2000 more miles on it.
    Their only issue about driving the car was that they had no idea so many people would be approaching them at gas stations, parking lots, etc wanting to talk about station wagons. Also all the people on the hwy honking and giving thumbs up too!!

    Drivers in Nashville were honking, but it wasnt their thumbs that were up.... my sister was driving in the red X lane.

    We bought the '06 Chevy HHR in November, 2009 when it had about 24k on the clock. it's now got 82k. I purchased the '81 Bonneville Safari in December, 2009 when it had less than 22k on the odometer. I've now got a bit over 24k on it. The HHR has been staying in the garage a lot lately since the wifey isn't driving due to her knee surgery.

    My '92 Custom Cruiser just turned 151,000 miles. not hard ones either, makes a big difference.
    I guess it has a few miles left on it too.:)

    I also have my circa 1960 Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper delivery wagon, that thing probably has more miles on it than my Custom Cruiser.:)
    I know it gets way better mileage.:biglaugh:

    Arthur, Ma's 1990 Volvo, has just on 230,000 kms, or about 150,000 miles. Little brother's 86 Colony Park had 750,000 kms (480,000 miles) and his 86 Pontiac Parisienne Safari had 640,000 kms (400,000 miles) when they were scrapped due to rust issues. Hope someone here has managed to pass the million mile mark with the original drive train!
