    Rutledge Wood, part of the Top Gear trio here in the States that went out to find the best car from GM's recent past, (wisely) picked a Buick Roadmaster as his steed. He then used the wagon to wind up victorious over the choices of his co-hosts. Now, Rutledge has shown that he truly cares about the LT1-powered five-door, as he just purchased a 1996 example to put in his own driveway.

    Regardless of your stance on the U.S.-version of Top Gear, you have to admire a man who understands the timeless appeal of a good station wagon. Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon owners should look upon the Buick Roadmaster with a fond gaze, because the Roadmaster is part of your hot-rod wagon's DNA.

    This may not be the 2011 Buick Roadmaster that Rutledge was hoping for, but we're pretty sure he's still smitten with his new ride.Top Gear USA host Rutledge Wood picks up a Buick Roadmaster wagon originally appeared on Autoblog on Wed, 18 May 2011 11:30:00 EST.

    He also posts over on the Impala SS forums under the name 'Rutspeed'. Got a thread about the purchase in their 'wagon' section.

    Maybe somebody here that's also on ISSF can deliver an invite to Rutledge via PM - Ian?

    Yeah, but since I don't actually own a B-body, I thought the invite would have a bit better reception if someone else did it.
