2 in 3 Months

Hello from NW Arkansas.

I bought my first longroof about 3 months ago...a  Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon. Typical rust issues from what I'm told, dark blue cloth  interior & classic woodgrain & light blue exterior.  Runs great.

Well, last week I found a Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser.  1 owner, sat for 11 years, 109k, red leather interior & white with standard silver/grey trim. Very nice car.


I will be posting in engine section as I am having issues.

When you get 5 posts, you will be able to post pictures. I know we'd like to see them both.

Welcome aboard.

Thank you

Ok, here are a couple of pics.

Welcome aboard! It always starts this way lol. probably already shopping for the next one....

Wow, those Olds Custom Cruisers look great. Appears to be pretty clean, nice find. I do think they are the best looking of the B-Body wagons. Maybe someday when I have more room, I can pick one of them up to be a stable mate with my RMW.

agreed they are the best looking style wise of the three, it's a shame they sold so poorly and were discontinued. I owned 4, 91s and one 92. I like the 92s better as they have the Caprice side glass and the cladding attachments is a better design.

In fact my only Blue one (other 3 were maple red) is the one 5th from the right in the banner photo up top......although I didn't own the car yet when the picture was taken. That car is now in England.

I certainly seem to be an outlier in this group

I always have been one to get a single vehicle and do continual upgrades and improvements to it over time while still using it. I have had my wagon for over 8 years so far and it probably won't be leaving any time soon as it is almost completely to my preferences.

I had my 1970 Dodge Challenger for nearly 30 years. It had quickly morphed to twin turbo and fuel injection long before that kind of stuff was readily doable at home, so it was a lot of fun and of interest back then. Now you can buy a car off showroom that will blow away almost all the muscle cars, and do it with air conditioning on and pump gas in the tank on the way to the grocery store. Times change.

I do say getting the RMW was surprising as it so easily filled the need to have a fun car in addition to it's original purchase to be my retirement daily driver and hauler of everything.

Welcome. The OCC looks clean. I think you'll pick up good info on this forum.

Thanks for all of the welcomes.
Just getting back into cars after a long break & having people to ask questions is great.

Thanks
