Georgetown Car Show 2 Vista Cruisers and 1 Buick Sport Wagon July 16 09 002 8

Nice cars. I've always enjoyed the look of the skywagons. It's too bad Buick didn't keep the sky roof Sportwagon as long as Oldsmobile kept its Vista Cruiser.

I had a 1971 Pontiac Lemans thirty years ago...Pontiac's GM intermediate body as sporty as these...handled well, tracked like a BMW up to triple digit speeds....back then NO ONE wanted used wagons...even sport ones like these..I got mine in pristine condition for three figures..my friends laughed until they saw the full sized bed mattress in the back..no problem finding a place to make love on date night.. carried my surfboards and guitars by day..these were like enclosed Chevy El Caminos...

Indeed i know, the wagons often gave up their more heavy duty parts (Vista Cruisers and Sportwagons had 9 X 2.5 brakes on the rear vs 9 X 2 on the other GM mid-sizes. Let them laugh, they usually don't on a nice twisty road where the 50/50 (actually a little tail heavy on my wagon) weight distribution really shines! The wagons are stable at speed too, no doubt!

The Sport Wagon is even less seen then the already elusive Vista Cruisers. To get three of these cars together at once is a treat!
