Stewzer55's Oldsmobile Station Wagon

well, now that we got that all ironed out

Until now I never noticed the difference in the side glass between models. I think your '92 body is the best of both worlds.

With the square not running, and my trailer being full of s**w and the TB being too short, the Olds got to make a trip to Lowe's for a couple sheets of 4x8. It goes from 30 to over the 55mph posted speed very quickly (cough cough 80 cough) and rides damn good. Gave it a full tank of fuel, it has a 22 gallon tank and took between 19.3 gallons and the low fuel light did come on, but it was no worry. Speakers are bad, but they're probably original.

Could have a Buick radio because it was built in April 92 so its one of the last ones made, not sure.

I do too, one of my neighbors has a 92 Olds CC, sadly it appears to have a fair amount of rust.

About brought a tear to Mike's eye when I posted this on facebook. This is the stereo we believe it's supposed to have.

Sad, that's a 91 and looks like the 92 Mike used to have.

Like I said, wouldn't be surprised if the reason why mine has a Buick radio is because its a late production car.

 

[Old77]

sad that a wagon with that low of mileage in such good shape would end up in a place like that


....and I just realized it has missouri plates on it

So... What were your reasons for trying to find a wagon optioned out like this and of the particular year?

I just wanted one, mostly a cloth seat, 350 towpack car and found this Olds. The Buicks are more common and I like the design of the dash better in the Buick and Olds wagons over the Caprice. The TBI cars have better quality interiors than the LT-1 cars did too and stock for stock perform the same thanks to the higher gears in the LT-1 cars, 2.56 and 2.93 in towpack cars vs 3.08 and 3.23 in the TBI.

I am not into these cars as others, but I have always wanted to do an "SS" wagon like what Retro posted! I almost bought an LT-1 equipped wagon a couple of years ago. Didn't realize they had crap for gears. Imagine having some 3.73's...

...

Shaved roof rack, shaved tailgate, rollpan, badges on the side, rear wiper delete, tailpipes, tint and SS wheels. That's gotta be a 91-94 by the small mirrors, its a BBW too, Big Black Wagon. WB4 wood delete, more common on Caprice wagons than Buicks, Olds never got the wood vinyl appliques. Mines a BBW too. Big Blue Wagon and we know Retro's taste in women...
