Brougham Wagon: 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Castillian Estate

To say that this next car will need some restoration is a bit of an understatement.  The interior will need to be nuked from orbit (it's the only way to be sure) and there is enough rust to earn a spot on the endangered species list...but...BUT...this thing is wicked sweet.  It started life from the Cadillac factory as a 4-door sedan, but the guys at  Traditional Coach Works in Chatsworth, CA transformed it into a wagon with a large rear hatch and a custom roof. Find this 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Castillian Estate offered for $4800 in Midlothian, TX via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

Master The Road: 1995 Buick Roadmaster Wagon

What could be better for a daily driver and family cruiser than a big V8 powered American wagon with less than 100k miles on the odometer offered for a good price.

DT 5.0: Best 5-Door: 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon

With all the Volvos posted around these pages you'd expect that the best 5-door would have been some kinda Swedish machine (maybe even a Saab??) but you'd be completely wrong.  I don't write this because I don't appreciate the sublime feeling of a vintage Volvo...but I can tell you that if you drive a wagon and it isn't a Roadmaster, you're doing it wrong.  Just examine the name. Road.  Master.  It owns the road.  No other car devours asphalt like a Roadmaster...and I can say this because I daily drive one.  Find this 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon offered for $8,700 here on eBay starting bid located in Jupiter, FL.  This post is part of DT's 5th Birthday Celebration.

Service For Eight: 1993 Buick Roadmaster Estate

The Roadmonster is one of those polarizing cars that isn't universally loved by all car guys.  Many folks don't understand the appeal of a body-on-frame people hauler that offers the fuel economy of a Greyhound bus and the road manners of a cruise ship.  However, for the people who fondly remember station wagons of yesteryear, it is the best example of a 1960s car that was built through the 1990s.  Find this 1993 Buick Roadmaster Estate offered for $999 via hemmings. Tip from Douglas.
