@@johnnyrowland4961 I mistakenly said sport mirrors because my 76 Estate Wagon has the optional sport mirrors you described. As for the wheels, Buick called those "Chrome Road Wheels" not Stage 1 wheels. I own 5 of these 71 to 76 full size Buicks all of which have those wheels

@@waynemccarthy3073 Everything is eventually for sale but I just now got this one shipped back to the states from Norway so for now it would not be for sale

@@hurstbear Thank you so much. This car is definitely on its own level of desirability for me. It's the exact year make and model of my mother's car when I was a child

@@Phil-nd2ug If you watch my channel, I also own a 76 Estate Wagon, Two 76 Electra Limiteds, and a 76 Electra Limited Park Avenue

​@stangslayerws6 Thanks for sharing. This is a beautiful car. Our neighbors ordered a 76 Caprice wagon. Not loaded, cruise, power door locks. AM-FM Stereo. 3 seats. Of course, A/C Had the Chevrolet 400. 4 years later. It started going, though oil. They got rid of it. Listed for 7,788.00. I had a 77 Monte Carlo. Ring job at 35 thousand miles. I bought the extra warranty. My first car a 76Pontiac Grand Le Man's. Beautiful car. Listed for 5,900.00. Pontiac I think made the best looking GM division in the 60s and 70s. In 1991 my wife and I bought our first new car. Buick Century. Had Buicks sense then. Never a bad one. LeSabre and Park Avenue Avenue. Miss the Sedans.

Oh, my grandparents bought a new 85 Dodge Ram. Had power door lock. You pulled up on the lock button it unlocked the other door. Or you turned the key twice when unlocking it. It would unlock the other door as well. I had never seen that. It's in the barn. No rust, inside looks new. It had that 360 lean burn motor. It was a lot of trouble. I should get it. And have it fixed. The farm in our family still.

The sad part is most of the 71-6 big GM wagons were destroyed at demolition derbies.

@@patrickmcgoldrick8234 That is true. They performed uncommonly well in the demo derbies, and that was the death of them.

I think another really nice feature of those wagons is they had a strong leaf spring suspension,I remember a lot of people who hauled camping trailers with those wagons always seemed pretty stable on the highway.

@@Napier363 it's not a "standard" interior. It is simply a full bench seat car. Which is the only way you could order a full blue interior Estate Wagon in 1973. The full bench seat cars were also the only ones that got the upgraded Electra Limited style upper door panels

@@stangslayerws6 Actually the bench seat was the standard Estate Wagon interior.

@@Napier363 Once again, if it's what was called the "Standard" interior for 73 then I prefer it because it was the only way to get a full blue interior and the much better looking Electra Limited upper door panels on a 73 Estate Wagon. There is no such thing as a blue interior 73 Estate with either the notchback seating or the split bench.....I also own 4 76 Buicks. 2 Electra Limited 4dr hardtops, 1 Electra Limited Park Avenue and 1 76 Estate Wagon (with the notchback seating)

The Olds 98 clamshell wagon was truly beautifully designed inside and out. So rich and unique looking.

That would be the 98 Custom Cruiser.

The Olds cost more, and weighed more, than the Buick! ...so much for the Sloan ladder~ 🙃

@@davidgold5961 I have , the original window sticker with all the options. I failed to list the interior options which are: power windows, power door locks, power seats; automatic climate control, digital clock, AM/FM 8 track stereo; floor mounted convenience console: electric grid rear window defog; tilt steering wheel; cruise master; deluxe steering wheel; convenience group (dual roof lights with remote rear on off switch and color coordinated seat belts;) 3rd row seating; map light; fingertip windshield washer (RARE), carpeted load floor and storage locker lock; hadi mats at carpet savers... Shew......

@@chriswright2250 same with my parents I was just a wee tyke at the time it was time for them to get a new Car and enjoy their hard work payed off now I was going into first grade my Dad was now secured in his Teamsters truck driving job Mom has 2 jobs my GrandMa was retiring and could help take care of me plus she had just got a new 69 Ford LTD my Dad just dropped a load of money on repairs for his 65 F/150 that he bought new in 65 His old Studebaker Lark finally crapped out and their 62 Mercury Monterey that they bought new finally crapped out too so I vividly remember going to all the car dealers and takeing all the test rides And as a curious kid takeing it all in and getting my first Whiffs of that new car aroma it was very addictive even for a little 5 year old kid we drove a Plymouth & Pontiac & New 70 Ford LTD Country Squire demonstrator it was Red in &out and I understood everything as clear as a bell I felt 10’tall after that ride our salesmen Mister Coffman or Coughlin I always remember this man years latter my parents could not even recall his name but I got it pretty close for a happy little boy just lost in the moment so he tried to get my parents to buy that 70 demo my mom did not like a red car and my dad was kinda missing the point about the 3000 miles that was on it now would be prorated back to us the salesmen said this is a brand new Car he said don’t worry we will take good care of you folks on this fine station wagon well my parents went into another room for a while discussing or sometimes arguing back & forth my Dad said look ok we might be foolish by passing a hot deal but I’m not big on that red and inside too me I was disapointed I liked the big Red Country Squire So my Dad said we want to order the new style 1971 Country Squire and we want the Dark Green like this Sedan you have here in the Showroom he laughed and said ok but you folks are letting a hot deal slip away in my opinion on a better car and he whispered when he said it he said sure were here to make money & sell new cars but I also want you to be my happy customers for a very long time too come and yes I was disapointed that we weren’t getting the red one but latter that day I understood we were getting a new car in green and a year newer well that’s my long story I just had to get it out what a life we had back then

Excellent choice, much more manageable due to its 'smaller' size, more practical tailgate (sorry, love the clamshell but it's true!) ... and just as beautiful!
