I am going to the Mecum auction in Chicago next week and i was looking through the lots and saw a pretty cool looking wagon. Looks pretty original. Shows some wear but nothing too ugly. Or maybe a very old restoration. Anyone want me to grab it for them? :icon_thumright:

Sounds like fun Rob. Anything in particular on your shopping list???

Nothing in particular. A client and I were looking for a way to celebrate a recent victory and we are both into cars so it seemed like a good idea and it's drive-able. I'll bring my check book but it would take a real steal for me to jump on something.

That is a good looking car. Unusual to find a sportwagon without factory A/C on it, but in MN, it won't be a problem. That one also has the 4bbl. high-compression engine in it, so that is a big plus. Big difference in how that runs compared to the 2bbl version. I happen to know that the youngest member of the Ascher family had a keen interest in the mid-60s Buick wagons when he was at the 2016 BCA nationals with us back in July.

Dear Rob, Jim, Brian, and mid-60s Buick long-roof fans,
I am going to the Mecum auction in Chicago next week and i was looking through the lots and saw a pretty cool looking wagon. Looks pretty original. Shows some wear but nothing too ugly. Or maybe a very old restoration. Anyone want me to grab it for them? :icon_thumright:

Given my well-known love of wagons :love4: this is terribly unfair! :angryfire: The link doesn't work anymore! :BangHead: Instead it is giving me a 404 page not found error. Could it be that this wagon has been sold before the auction?
A curious mind would like to know!
Cheers, Edouard

It appears to be have been pulled from the Mecum site. Guessing it’s sold before the auction.
