  1. Yeah and probably not many of those too. Great chrome features. Almost a separate industrial piece of art in its own right.

    1. Pontiac also built a Nomad clone. I think it even used some of the same trim. I've only seen one and that was years ago.

  4. 1958 Buicks had 85 feet of chrome. This car might say "that's cute"

    1. We just got a '95 Buick, Roadmaster, cream puff (93,000 mi.). Pretty close to 37 ft. long, I think. One of the last of the great land yachts. They came with a factory LT1, it's surprisingly fast!

    2. 95 Roadmaster wagon and the Roadmaster Sedan were both about 18' long.
      37 feet ?

  5. It takes two men and a small boy to remove a bumper.

  6. Very first car was a 1959 Buick Station Wagon. The back of the car was a Romper Room.

    Was a rolling tank, but I loved it.

  8. Beautiful, chrome won't get you home but it will get you laid. And there is plenty of room in there

  9. Don't you wish someone still made these? Install a modern drivetrain and maybe some aluminum in the body it might even be practical.
