Arragonis: any cd factor estimates on that safari wagon?
Varn: Thanks...the Vista Cruisers are cool, I prefer the lighter '65, '65 versions, and even
the Buick Sport wagons...'64, '65, over that!

I owned a '65 special (lesser model) that looked just like this color, and all.
(minus sport window, and of course non aero roof rack) too bad was a non runner. I picked it up from impound yard, after seeing it broke down on the I-205 bridge 2 weeks earlier between Vancouver, and Portland.

Now this is a '64 Special that was customized into a 2dr. I love the clean look!
Of all the GM models around this vintage, the bumpers flow with the body better than the rest in my mind.Of course the ugly gas filler door would have to go!!! The left taillight should be hinged for that instead. Oh yes, I DO
have opinions!!!

I had trouble finding a close up enough picture of the clean design taillights!
The '64,'65 Olds in VC, or Cutlass/F85? form are the same.

The '68,'69 Buick wagons do nothing for me at all! Same vintage 2HT leaves me cold except if aero front end matched aero rear with the factory rear skirts.

As an Ecomodder now; sort of hard to think of the Vista, or the Sport as we know that is heavy glass up high, and more mass, right?

Fun discussion!!!!
