HERE IS ONE OF THE FINEST 1970 BUICK ESTATE WAGONS IN THE COUNTRY. IT IS THE FEATURE VEHICLE IN THE RECENTLY RELEASED MOVIE " THE WAY WAY BACK " STARRING STEVE CARELL, TONI COLLETTE AND ALLISON JANNEY. THE MOVIE WAS FILMED IN MASSACHUSETTS IN THE SUMMER OF 2012. MEMORABILIA THAT WE HAVE FROM THE MOVIE, NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS, ADS, COPY OF CONTRACT, THE NEW YORK LICENSE PLATES GO WITH THE WAGON. I AM THE THIRD OWNER, I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE JANUARY , 2000. SECOND OWNER WAS DAN SLOWICK, A NOTED ILLINIOS BUICK COLLECTOR. DAN OWNED THE WAGON SINCE 1973. THE VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, IT HAS NO BODY RUST, BUT DOES HAVE SOME MINOR SURFACE RUST AT THE BOTTOM REAR OF BOTH REAR DOORS( SEE PHOTO ). HAS ALL ORIGINAL BODY PANELS AND ORIGINAL EXTERIOR WOODGRAIN. THIS WAGON WAS PRODUCED AT THE GM PLANT IN KANSAS CITY, KANSAS IN OCTOBER, 1969 AND DELIVERED TO NORTHWEST AUTO COMPANY IN CHICAGO. IT WAS IN ILLINOIS UNTIL JANUARY , 2000. THE FRONT BUMBER HAS BEEN RECHROMED, THE REAR BUMPER IS NEW OLD STOCK AND WAS INSTALLED IN 2006. CAR WAS REFRESHED IN 2006 WITH PAINT IN ORIGINAL COLOR, VINYL ROOF, ( LEVANT PATTERN-REPRODUCTION OF ORIGINAL ) NEW CARPETING INCLUDING THE LOAD AREA, ALL CHROME IN LOAD AREA WAS REMOVED , POLISHED AND REINSTALLED. VINYL IN LOAD AREA WAS REPLACED, ALL METAL IN LOAD AREA WAS REPAINTED. THE THREE SEATS ARE ORIGINAL EXCEPT THE DRIVERS SEAT SECTION HAS BEEN REPLACED ( HAD A MINOR TEAR ). THE VALUES OF STATION WAGONS HAVE INCREASED DRAMATICALLY IN RECENT YEARS, EXCELLENT ONES ARE VERY RARE AND IN GREAT DEMAND. THIS WAGON HANDLES AND RIDES LIKE A NEW CAR. IT HAS 120,000 ORIGINAL MILES, I HAVE DRIVEN IT FROM MASSACHUSETTS AS FAR WEST AS ILLINOIS AND BACK. THE WAGON HAD 92,000 MILES WHEN I PURCHASED IT. BUICK HAD NOT MADE A FULL SIZE WAGON SINCE 1964, THIS IS A ONE YEAR ONLY BODY STYLE WITH THE DUAL REAR TAILGATE.HAS THE SCULPTED BUICK PROFILE, ACCU DRIVE, BUICK'S ADVANCE DESIGN SUSPENSION SYSTEM, PLUS SPECIAL REAR END SUSPENSION THAT IS CUSTOM DESIGNED FOR A STATION WAGONS' UNIQUE HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS.

I HAVE A COMPLETE SET OF GLASS, MINUS A WINDSHIELD THAT GO WITH THE WAGON.
