Nice wagon! Not only does it needs tires it needs the correct size tires. Either a 225/75R15 or possibly a 235/70R15. That's a unique steering wheel.
America used to do affordable luxury better than anyone else, and it wasn't that long ago. And now? What a disgrace.
Totally agree!

Too many reg's for the Climate Change Scam!!!!
That was before the massive increase in government regulations that strangled American manufacturers in the 80s in pursuit of fuel economy. The same thing is happening again in our pursuit of electrification. The same growing pains are happening now. All due to government interfering in free enterprize.
@@wmason1961 That was before many things. It was before being white had become a liability. And you can thank Potato for the current situation, even though he likes to tell you it's all Putin's fault.
Absolutely LOVE this car. So many memories of seeing these as a kid and being jealous that my parents could never afford one. Great video!
I always thought they were awkward and unattractive appliances, myself. My parents owned several iterations of these boats, a couple even had the reverse-facing third row, "tail-gunner" seat.
My dad made us polish and dry those chrome under panels - wasn’t so fun lol 😂
Is it still for sale?
I had the same envy!!!
These kinds of cars should be restored and maintained. They're a historical treasure.
Station wagon memories of when my children were young. Perfect car for drive-in theater trips.
Coolest factory rims ever
I agree. Only Buick was able to get away with putting mags on a station wagon and having it look cool
Wow. you can tell you really care about the car and your potential customers. The fact that you are so detailed in the videos shows how much respect you for for everyone and for the cars! I wish I had $5995! :)
I agree. Just keep in mind you’re going to need a few more dollars to make her safe for the road again. Tires -etc
Anthony, ya gotta give kudos to Buick. When they put the "Electra" name on a wagon - Buick ain't playing around, even the interior is Electra class!
Damn being 20 years old I love these big American cars. I wish I was alive when these kinds of cars were common.
They had a awsome ride. And it was a good over the road car. The only real flaw with this car was the307 was so weak, by all rights it had the Olds 350 engine. Many made the swap. And it became the car you didnt want to stop driving as well. The 350 and that 4 speed automatic was a nice match. And the gas mileage was exactly the same..so it must have been a emissions move on GM's part to put the 307 in that car. Because otherwise they would have just been playing stupid to put the 307 in there when the 350 gave it the right level of power and got the same gas mileage
There’s a old joke about the previous “woodies” But it fits perfectly for this one.
The man’s new car was delivered to the house where him and some friends were. After admiring the new car his friends left. The next time they saw the car all the wood had been taken off the car. One of his friends said. “ You know that’s still a nice car. But it sure looked better in the box.”
lol

Hey Anthony. Thanks so much for the trip back in time. We had an '82 with the diesel engine. Despite the slow engine I loved this car. Someone is going to be very happy to have this!
I remember those diesel engines they had a V8 and a V6 and they were terrible I knew someone that had one in a Monte Carlo a Caprice and a Cadillac coupe DeVille.
There are still some of those diesels on the road, and many were bought & shipped to Europe.
They were improved, to eliminate the early problems.
Hey Anthony & Papa Bear, this beautiful Buick Wagon is an excellent example of a bygone era!!! Along with so many other baby boomers I have so many fond memories of road trips in the family station wagon with the rear facing third seat!!! In my case it was a 69 Chrysler Town & Country with the fake wood on the sides!!! Those were good times!!! Thanks for sharing this fun video!!! 👍👍🙂
Hello Christopher yes I also remember those days. It was always witch 2 of my 4 children would get to sit in the 3rd row seating backwards. Papa 🐻 & Anthony
@@paulgozzo9178 Hey Papa Bear, I enjoyed sitting in the third row seat facing backwards!! Like so many other kids back in the day, I'd stick out my tongue & make faces at the cars behind us!!! 🤪
love your electra station wagon my father owned a cutlass cruiser it was fully loaded like yours brings back memories of road trips to the shore or the amusement parks in the summer they don't make em like they used to
I had a company car much like this and I loved it at the time. Brand new and perfect. It rode great and had an awesome AC system. By today's standards it seems clunky but it was very crisp and contemporary at the time because when it came out you would compare it to cars 5-10 years older and it was very nice. The sport wheels on the wagon are a very sassy look.
Cool 😎. The family vehicle before minivans.
What a great car! I'm an 80s baby, and have memories in my aunt's brown '86(or so) Chevrolet Caprice 9 passenger wagon! Indeed I rode in the 3rd rear facing seat alot! Great trip down memory lane!
Love it Anthony....I am old... my Mom used to take us around in her 1972 Chrysler Town and Country Wagon. Absolute Classic Beautiful Machine that had so many memories like you say about these Station Wagons when we were kids. THE BEST TIMES EVER. Thanks.... How you doing Papa...?
The hockey team I played for in college used these cars to pack the entire teams hockey bag's in it. I drove them a few times.
My buddy’s dad had one of those back in the day and Cruised the hell outta it ,, brings back memories Anthony, thank you say hi to 🐻
Gotta love that velour interior.
I bought my dad a blue on blue one back when they were new when he retired. I loved that car and wish I still had it. Thanks for a great trip down memory lane!
Just beautiful!!! We had a Buick Century SW that my bought in 1979 when we moved to the US. What great memories!!! Congrats for the video !!!
Those original rims are so beautiful. Pure style.
The price seems like a bagain to me. If I lived in US I`d probably already be on my way buying it from you. 👍
While this car was not the same make or model wagon my mother had when I was a child, it does bring back a lot of memories of the many miles we travelled in that car across California to Arizona and back from '77 to '78, and the many more miles we used it on daily excursions when we were not travelling. She had that car from '76 to '80... boy, did she put a lot of miles on that wagon.
What a nice car that is. My parents had a hand me down '84 Electra from my grandparents that I put a lot of miles on as a kid. About the same as this from the B-post forward. It was very comfortable to cruise in.
My parents had 2 of these when I was kid up until the early 2000's. I remember playing gameboy in the backseat and singing along to music with the whole family
Love the wagon! My parents first new car was a 1963 Biscayne wagon and there second new car was a 1970 Kingswood wagon and I learned how to drive on it! I had a 1988 caprice estate wagon! And a 1993 Buick wagon! 💟
I'd take it in a heartbeat if I could convince my wife to want it as well. Only change I'd make are the headlights, and eventually fix the flaw in the woodgrain on the back. I'd make it my everyday driver and use it until I wear it out, then sell it to someone enthusiastic about restoring it. Nice car! Best wishes to whoever ends up with it.👍
Good thing youre not going to buy it then.
@@mehmeh5471 Why? Because of the headlights, or the woodgrain issue? I'd rather be seen in that car than some ugly new gutless SUV. It's my wife who thinks she's gotta be in something new and trendy. As for MPG, I'd make up the difference in repair and maintenance savings. And I prefer rear wheel drive vehicles.
@@danielbennion80 slap her around a lil bit. Either she learns her place or she leaves. Either way its a win.
@@johnlockesghost5592 she wanted something more modern, so I just got her a red 2016 Buick Verano. I'm sure she's happier with it. Meanwhile, I'll keep tinkering with my old classics.
Wife seems like she wears the pants in that relationship..lol
My memory is my dad ran these as taxis in Boston they took a beating 500k miles out of a 86'.
I have a '85 Dodge Aries K
My Grandmother’s co worker a long time ago had the ford version of this car. It was a wood grain package LTD Crown Vic Wagon. It was an 87. And I remember a neighbor living next to me when I was a little boy who had an Electra Wagon that looked just like this one here. Blue cloth interior
This generation of GM wagons are beautiful. The Electra Estate is definitely the best of the bunch. I grew up in a mid 80s Century Estate wagon. I now have a Regal TourX wagon. Tried to keep the Buick wagon heritage going. Wanted to give my children That Buick wagon experience...
The last model year with the B-pillar mounted shoulder belts. 1990 had the belts on the doors!
Lovely old thing. Would buy it if I lived in the US . Huge!
I had an 89 that I bought from the original owner. Same color but w/o the woodgrain. Maroon interior too. It was a sharp car. I regret getting rid of it. I've owned over 100 cars of all types. I honestly can say that my Electra Estate Wagon probably got the most compliments of any car I've owned. Although the 307 was a bit anemic the car was equipped with trailer tow package & most interesting was it had a factory rear sway bar. I personally have never seen another wagon with a rear sway bar.
Thank you for sharing Anthony. If I wasn't across the country and already own a 92 Roadmaster Estate Wagon with 40k I'd snatch your offering right up. Great Price. I hope it finds a loving new home soon.
Anthony My stepfather had a 1984 1989 and a1996 electra and roadmaster wagon.
It is a beautiful car and I always liked them. My last few cars were E-Class Mercedes estates as I live in the UK, but they are probably the closest you can get to these big American wagons. What a pleasing mixture of luxury, comfort and practicality!
I love it. A few years back I was injured at work and was down for about 6 months with physical therapy and all. I saved up all my mileage money from going to surgery and everything and bought an 85 mercury grand marquis. Although I prefer early 90s style but the pice was good. I loved that car and still regret selling the old girl. My sister gave me her 09 Honda CR-V. It was a nice upgrade but the mercury was much quieter and smoother. One day I’ll find something like this just to tinker on and baby.
Cool car.
My friend Mr.Sneed had one it was a Country Squire Station Wagon, but we called it "The Country Squirrel", man i sure miss that car, and Mr.Sneed too..R.I.P.
car was probably driven for only 10 years and stored in a garage for 20+ years. styling was considered old for 1989. our 87 mercury sable wagon was so modern compared to this. upper middle age korean war verterans bought these vehicles.
My first car was a 1968 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser. I loved that car. I love that rear window sound!
Love the videos Sir, love the cars more. One day I will be looking for a Cadillac convertible, I know that is not usually the kind of car that you deal with, but it's just the one that I want. Keep up the good work and I wish you and your family the very best of luck in all that you do.
these are great cars! i picked up a 90' olds custom cruiser wagon with 75k miles on it for 2 grand ( its not nearly cosmetically as nice though ) one thing people never do is lube the rear window motor and they get sluggish and burn up. it actually is fairly easy to access and oil!
Love it...It is a nice car....The SUV of my youth....My parents owned many a country squire...I saw Star Wars at a drive in 8 years old in the back seat of a Ford ....
This makes me miss my 1983 Olds Ninety-Eight Regency Brougham sedan, medium blue metallic on blue velour inside. I bought it in 1990 when the car was 6 years old. It had both driver and passenger vanity mirrors. It had the cornering lamps and the hood mounted fiber optic indicators. It had an oversized moon roof, mirrored on the outside for one-way glass. Full power electric seats both driver and passenger. Tilt and telescopic steering column. Lighters in both rear door ash trays. Fluorescent full height opera lights on the door columns outside. The car was loaded to the gills. After a year and a half owning it, it was stolen. Broke my heart. Never saw it again.
Anthony, this wagon, all be it not a sedan, is beautiful! I love how it can actually haul full sheets of plywood, drywall, etc. If needed. I would not want to subject such a jewel as this to such rigorous service, but it does show the versatility this car had in the day.
I am shocked it did not have a passenger power seat and corner lamps. You are correct about the options and features. This was classic Buick. I would take the Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser of this vintage. You really do make the videos informative and interesting.
Glad you got this estate wagon beautiful wood paneling
You could haul so much stuff with those old wagons. Much better than vans! Much more efficient in terms of gas mileage than vans at the time as well.
👌 Wow this is the exact 💯 Wagon my dad had. I passed my driver's test in this car. Memories
Nice, my family had 2, 1980 Diseal, and then a 1984 gas powered one. Good memories 😀
My drove on back as I was a kid. And it was on the rear facing seat.. awesome
I had a 1986 Oldsmobile Wagon jus like this wagon...mine was burgundy color ..Had Nice Pillow Seats arm rest power windows... power seats.. woodgrain dash.. tilt wheel ...had the White Wall tires with the factory Buick alloy rims...307 V 8 Oldsmobile Engine...4 barrel Carburetor... Definitely a Land Yacht..💨💨💨 Timless Capsule 💯💯
I have a 1993 Buick Roadmaster Estate wagon and I get stopped all the time. Great car for road trips.
Amazing! The plastic carpet protection looks like it just came from the factory!
I learned to drive on an 82 Lesabre. 307 a little wonky in 82 with all the vacuum hoses and stuff but I bet they had that worked out by 89. Pretty car.
my dad was a Buick man he always wanted that wagon just never got one he seen them going down the road hed have to take a deep breath
Parents had 3 of these GM wagons. Did a lot of my early driving in one. Hated them then and hate them now.
I used to patch the laminate behind the rear doors on my old man's '85 Caprice Estate which furniture laminate from shelving. 20 years ago you couldn't sell these, no one wanted them. People at swap meets laughed at me when I asked about wheels. The wagons had wider wheels than the sedans. The rear passenger wheel wells always rusted on these by the bottom seat cushion.
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 *Growing up, we had a 1979 Buick Electra* !! *Unfortunately, it was not a wagon* !! *This Buick is gorgeous* !! *Wonderful, low price* !! *FAB job Papa Bear and Anthony* !! #AnthonyGozzo 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
That 70 Electra was a sharp looking car back in the day. A buddy of mine mom had a burgundy one with the Buick mag wheels and I thought it was just such a great looking car. And the 79s had the more powerful 350 engine
Hey Anthony that's a cool wagon love it I had a 78 Caprice estate and I love that car I traded it for a Buick Riviera! LOL
Love this car. It reminds me of the cars my parents owned during my childhood, before SUV's and crossovers ruined the world of cars.
These are are treasures. All of these.
love these 80's buicks and olds with comfy interiors and v8
I love this car. Price is awesome. Wish I was closer, I’m in California.
It made me think of Dax Shepard's 1994 Buick Roadmaster Estate wagon 700 hp! Anyway this Electra wagon would be so pretty in a candy apple metallic burgundy paint job to go with the interior! Re-decal the wood grain in the same burled wood grain as the interior pattern!
This 'As-is' as you say is still mint condition. I hope it finds a good home
I also owned a 1982 Pontiac Parisienne Brougham all original paint no rust no winters sold it for 12gs recently
I have 2011 Crown Vic Police Interceptor SAP. SAP just means it has chrome trim/grill instead of black. They are sort of rare. The car is in great shape overall. A few minor scratches. I wanna put wood wrap on it to cover up the imperfections similar to this car. Maybe do some pin striping to blend it in. It beats paying for a paint job.
If I was in the US I would definitely buy this car I love wagons any wagon pure classics
If I had the money, I would get this car right now!! They just don't make vehicles like this anymore. Looking at this video brings back a lot of good memories.
Great car Anthony! If you had an 89 Colony Park same condition/price, I’d drive down from Maine tomorrow!! :)
I'd love to cruise around America on a road trip Vacation style like Chevy Chase in that thing. Throw some suit cases on the top and send it!
Can't believe they were still building this in 1989. Similar wagons were being made 10 years prior.
Hated those things back in the 90s. They could be had for pocket change back then and I wouldn't have been caught dead in one. Now in 2022 I'd love to take a ride in one!
@Anthony Gozzo The movie Adventures In Babysitting is the reason why I love these Electra Estate Wagon's today. Great movie and awesome car!
Absolutely gorgeous car. Someone is going to be getting a beautiful ride that's for sure
My friend has an original 1987 Buick Grand national love that car its appraised at 80,000.00 mint condition all original no winters
Had a 82 Buick Electra when I was 18. That car was an absolute dog. Couldn't get out of it's own way but was so comfortable.
Had a 1982 .. loved it We went on a lot of trips .. Sadly was stolen in 1989.
My dad had a Buick Estate wagon, but the GM Corporate SBC engine often had problems.
When i was 10 my Dad bought a new 1982 buick electra wagon with red seats. The back seat folded up and you would sit facing the back window.
looks just like the 'Wagon Queen Family Truckster!'.
I had three wood grain wagons love it
The Stationwagon.....Hey SUV's remember me? I'm your grandpa and i haven't been out of the house for awhile
Awesome interior ! - it's like a mini lounge !
Nice looking Car!! We need to bring back the Station Wagon!!!
I absolutely love these gorgeous old American beasts. Sadly, you just don't find them in Australia.
The grand national flies he has the posi 342 rear end love that car really flies has even a power antenna very rare
The Wrigley family from the Nickelodeon show The Adventures of Pete & Pete had a mid 1980's Caprice wagon. It would featured prominently in the King of the Road episode when it went up against another family who had a similar Buick Estate wagon.
Hey Anthony, Oh does this car bring back memories. My father always owned a wagon. The first one I remember was a 1955 Pontiac. This is a beautiful wagon. I hope it goes to a really good home and they enjoy it....
I love how they have engine starting instructions for a manual transmission on a car that was NEVER offered in a manual transmission!
This would make an awesome gypsy cab and/or tiny home.
I used to own one of these. It had over 225K miles on it. Everything worked. The only problem it had was the driver seat needed recushioning or restuffing. I was stolen and the would be theif tried to outrun the cops and crashed it. I never will forget the cops knocking on my door to tell me that my car had been stolen and wrecked. When I got to the tow yard, I cried.
Holy crap! How is you tube reading mind? I was kidding with my cousin, that I want a station wagon.
This is Fantastic love to find a 1975-78 Ford Wagon , be willing to Let my 1989 Lincoln Town car Signature series for one
Nice video…nice car. I have a 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Brougham. It has about 140,000 miles on it. I need to put a new motor in. It’s been sitting in my garage for about 4 years. I’m 72 and have no time nor ambition to work in it…
Adventures in Baby Sitting (1987, classic 80’s move and sweet ride.
Great Car! That Olds 307 was not powerful but durable and reliable!👍The correct tire size on the wagons was I think 225/75/15 and they all had F40 hvy duty suspension.
If I heard right, he said 205. They look too small, so that could be what is on the car. I think the correct size is 235, but you could be right, 225.
I just love this car!
Anthony th his is so nice. I forwarded to a friend hood desk and I hope Mark buys it. Any car has one or two Mimi or flaws Bestcrdgards, Dave
Say hello to your Dad , Papa Bear. I miss my dad so much !
