Hello from France, 1994 wagon

Hello everybody, i live in south of France and i have found my wagon in Finland, because this car has never been
homologated in our country. ( now i can drive it legally because it’s a collector’s car, with collector title)
After a 3800 km roadtrip, the wagon is arrived in his new house !
It’s an LT1 engine with grey interior.
I’am very happy with this sweet car, low mileage on the highway and lot of space in the trunk !
I would like to put a picture, but it’s impossible
I don’t know why ? It’s a jpeg form, that’s the reason ?
Thank you

Welcome to the forum Raph. That is a beauty! Love the back and the stance.

You'll like it here, good helpful guys.

95 or 96?

Nice looking wagon, Welcome to the forum.

You have to make 5 posts before it allows photos.  To keep the robots out

Welcome aboard!  Where in France?  I have a friend in Biarritz.

Thank you for all your answers.
I live next to Nice, Sprocket , have you ever been to Biarritz ?
Fred, the year is 1994.

It has 95/96 mirrors on it.

Ok i have not seen the difference with the other mirror.
You know these cars very well !

The 94 should be mounted on the door skin.

The mirrors on the Caprice Wagon in my signature is how the 94 should look. The Cadillac beside it is a 96 and has the same mirrors as you have. Most guys prefer, the 95 / 96 mirrors. You're wagon could have had the doors changed or welded up the holes from the 94 mirrors and had the 95 /96 mirrors installed.

I know you're wagon is from Finland, but it looks familiar. Maybe the previous owner bought it in the US.

I’d never paid attention to the mirror before .
Are there other détail differences between 1994 and 1995 ? May be they have change or modify the doors as you have explain
I don’t know the exact history of that car but it was sold new in finland, i have all the book in the glove
box with the address of the garage who sold it.
I have a question about the key fob (and don’t found the answer on other post) but it’s better that i explain my problem in the technical section ?
Thank you

Or a 1995, possibly could have been made at the end of 1994 calendar year. Maybe Finland, in that case, sees it as a 1994 when the model year is actually a 1995.

You could check at compnine.com to solve the mystery. I believe it costs $5 to enter 5 cars.

As you said, for the key FOB question, make another posting.

What's the car in your signature: Simca, Renault, Peugeot?

Thank you Tom for the link that you give me, I will check
If I can resolve the mystery !
The little car is my Fiat 500 ( I can put it in the trunk of the wagon ) it’s the same that Luigi in the cars movie.

always fun to see these land yachts in far away places like europe :-)

Is it hard for you to find parts?

Yes it’s not common to see big wagon from the usa in our country.
There is no spare parts here, I have a friend who has had an American car garage for 40 years and he helps me, but the spare parts come from the USA or Canada.
Sometimes I can found body parts from a car Disassembly but it’s rare.

@Raph, welcome. For parts, you may want to try Belgium and/or Germany. In Belgium, GM cars sold well for decades till two oil crises and taxation by engine displacement jointly killed the sales. The last valiant attempt by GM, AFAIK, was in the late 1980s when they made big splash with the GM10 models (Regal and Cutlass Supreme, in particular) as well as the Beretta/Corsica series.

Thank you ayilar i’ll have a look
