I just picked up my first Buick, a Special DeLuxe 4100 series station wagon. It's also my first EBay buy so I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes. This looks to be a really cool little wagon. It has a 112" wheel base so it's in between the compact station wagons (Plymouth Valiant, Ford Falcon, etc) and full size wagons (i.e. Vista Cruiser, Chrysler Town and Country, etc). The wagon I bought was a 1 owner car since 1962 until this year when the original owner passed away. Everything over the last 48 years has been documented and the car looks to be in almost brand new condition - we'll see when I pick it up. It's about a four hour drive from my house so picking it up should make a nice little day trip.
I was really glad to win the bid on this. My 66 Barracuda isn't working out so well (at least for now) and I wanted something to get me away from the Cuda for a little while so I can regroup and clear my mind to get my motivation back. I think this station wagon will be a nice easy project car to help get the creative juices flowing again. I think I'm going to keep it pretty much all stock. Cosmetically it's outstanding - it almost looks like a brand new car in spite of being 48 years old. For now, I just want to have the brakes done, rebuild the transmission, give it a nice wax job, and enjoy driving it. Then I can get back to working on my Barracuda.
