    1972 Buick Estate Wagon
    The car had one family ownership
    from new till I bought it last year. The original owner bought a new Buick every 2 years and traded in his old Buick. The original owner loved this estate wagon so much he did not trade it in when he bought a new 1974 Buick , rather he kept this 1972 Buick estate wagon as his travel and vacation car.
    About 2000 he stopped driving as much, but continued to start the car frequently and kept it clean inside his garage About 2015 the original owner passed away. His son, who was about 60 at the time, inherited the Estate Wagon. He kept the Car stored inside and clean but didn’t use the car.
    I bought the car a little over a year ago and replaced the gas tank, there were no leaks but I thought there might be contamination, and an exact reproduction tank was available. I changed the oil and coolant, points, condenser and spark plugs, and fuel filter. Just before the original owner began to use the car much less, he replaced the front brake pads, and rotors and calipers. He also replaced the rear brake shoes and wheel cylinders.
    I replaced the A/C condenser, it had a small leak, again a reproduction was available. I replaced both the front and rear radio speakers, and the radio works well Last, the tires were perfect, no cracks and only a few miles of wear,— but they were old. So I have put 4 brand new radial tires on all 4 wheels. It rides beautiful.
    Thanks again,
    Terry

    Wow, nice wagon. If I had the space, we would be talking. I take it the clamshell rear works?

    I learned to drive in the exact match to this car. Brings back memories of sneaking it out and tearing up and down the road.
