I am glad It is far enough away that I can pass on it. The price does not reflect the condition and it appears to be a very good buy. I have actually had it on my watch list twice now and I do not know what is going on with it. Ebay is a good place to advertise,but not so good at actually getting paid. It will be on my list for another week apparently.

Shares a headliner "feature" with my wagon! (Re: For Edouard!)

Dear Chuck, Loren, Dan,  and mid-60s Buick longroof fans,

Thanks for the link!  :icon_thumright:  Although I'm not going to get any other classic car soon.  Saving my trusty wagon has almost driven me crazy as it is!   :BangHead:

Still is it fun to look at how other guys have done up their wagon.  For example I'm surprised that people bring the exhaust tail-pipes all the way to rear bumper when it should exit to the side so that you can load your tailgate without breathing exhaust fumes.  Lots of modern SUVs and wagons share the same design flaw.

The other amusing thing is a tear in the headliner above the cargo area.  My wagon has a very similar tear that was caused when my Dad and I were trying to move a fireplace insert and I lost my grip on it.  I wonder what this wagon was hauling when this "injury" was inflicted!

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:
