What Color Do You Think Makes A Wagon Most Valuable?

I'm not asking which color is your favorite, just the one that brings the most money, assuming same cars, just different colors. And, in a similar vein, does any one know what color was most used on the wagons? Just curious....

I would say a DCM or Black WB4 would bring the most money, all else being equal.

I would say one of the dark colors, without woodgrain. Then any color without woodgrain. And I would pay more for a 95 or 96 in a heartbeat to get the bigger mirrors.

For rarity the PPM (Purple Pearl metallic) I think it was called. I've only seen one or two, next would be the dark sapphire metallic. Only the NYSP got that color so there probably only 30 or so 1a2s painted that way. I had one and Jimbeau still has it's twin.


I did see one Chevy with wood painted a metallic Teal color, but don't think now it was a factory avail color.

Most common wood be the white or LDM woodies.

As mentioned I would say the DCM WB4 (no wood) RMW would bring the high$$ due to being sought after AND rare.
That and any LT1 car with under 50k!

He also asked about 'white', but nobody responded.


You know, the most common color.

Is DCM dark cherry metallic?

I think the most common color is white or tan (golden)

I think the LAB w/wood was the most popular color in 92. I've owned or parted 3 92 RMWs all were LAB w/wood and dark blue interiors.

Rarity usually results in the most desireable vehicle.
In the last year of RMW of the 9000+ built only 1090 were a WB4, ( factory woodgrain delete) and of those 1090 only 125 were DCM
and of those 125 only 19 had beige limited leather interior.
Considering that most of these are no longer alive I would say that a 96 RMW with WB4,77U and 643 would be one of the most valuable if you could find one.

I can do you one better:

1090 WB4, 119 were MAB and 53 came with cloth (non limited) seats. Add in the power to those seats, and we're looking at 10 cars made in 1996. For some reason my car came with hubcaps instead of the standard alloys.... and only 3 were built.

^^^So put your hubcaps back on to make it more 'valuable'

^ Yeah. What he said. I'll give your wheels a good home.

:p

I asked earlier, but maybe no one saw it. Is DCM dark cherry metallic? So my non wood 96 Roadmaster is one of only 1090 made? Wow, I had no idea the production numbers for the wagons were so low. So here is the next question-how many white 96 non wood cars were made?

Go here and put in your VIN http://www.compnine.com/vid.php

then move over ONLY the WB4 and color code and see what number shows up


Then report back here so we ALL can now

what about the mythical purple metalic wagons?

what about black woodgrain wagons? Or DGGM with Ruby cloth Limited interior?!? And 3.42 posi?

Thanks for the site info. Here it is: white, no wood, tan leather interior, 2:56 rear end, total of 9 produced that way. If you take out the rear end, leaving in the white/tan leather combo, the production shows 25. Very neat site, thanks again.

Update- I put the leather steering wheel and heated seats in the list, along with the 2:56 rear end, and it puts the production at only 6. It's hard to believe that a white/tan wagon would be made in such small numbers.

Final update- I did it again with just the color and no wood, and it showed 201 white/wood delete cars. Maybe because I was moving all the options around it messed up the numbers, but 201 sounds like a more reasonable number to me.

Mark,you are correct about DCM meaning dark cherry mettallic!

Wood delete, Dark Cherry Metallic you say? Well my Buick wagon is a 96 and has these options and I love it and get a lot of compliments. So many in fact, I'm looking for another one. I found one I'd thought I'd share. Somebody here better buy it before I have two!
It's in Illinois.
Here's the dealers site.

Interesting:

Mine is the only 95 towpack -- and one of two '95s overall -- in Dark Cherry Metallic with grey accent trim and leather Ruby Red Limited seats.

Only 9 cars had the grey accent trim in 95. All of them were DCM woodgrain delete.

What is the grey accent trim? Have a pic? Curious!

Just some pinstriping:
