Anyone remember the thread about.....?

Anyone remember the thread about the Buick Estate wagons with the bizarre side moldings?
Well, I knew there was at least one here in my area (post #13) with these ridiculous moldings all over the woodgrain, and found it today on Craigslist!
I think this pic must have been of the parking lot of a Paranoiacs Anonymous meeting!

Wow, now that I see what the whole side looks like......, Some one liked the idea, not me though.

 

Yup, I remember that. Without having any information about them, I believe we came to the conclusion that the wagons quite possibly belonged to a boarding school, and the kids would fling the doors open when exiting, resulting in numerous door-dinging incidents. I've seen a few of them come up for sale as well. Even seen posts on other websites, asking, "What the...?"

 

Well, if it's between a boarding school or a Paranoiacs Anonymous meeting, I like my explanation better! It creates more questions than it answers!

Maybe they were going for a late '40's vibe? Here's a '48 Chevy:
