HI all

Here are a few photos of the RoadMonster, my recently purchased 1996 Buick Roadmaster Wagon. It currently has 57K original miles and is in amazing condition. I will share details later.

I just found your forum and have not even had time to look around. I am new to Roadmasters and hope this site will help me get up to speed on these great cars. The little red car is my 1962 Austin Healey Sprite MKII, it is 7+ feet shorter than the RoadMonster.

I see that this forum is also for GM panel vans, I guess my right hand drive 1974 Austin Mini panel Van doesn't qualify. Cool

Welcome Jeff to the group.Nice set of wheels on your wagon,dont recall ever seeing them anywhere else.You can use your wagon to carry the Sprite in the back if needed.My first car was a 1965 Sunbeam Alpine and it was a blast when
it was running .Thats a beautiful wagon and nice mileage.I have a cherry 91 Olds Custom Cruiser wagon with 69000
miles and just
bought a 95 RMW.If you love cars you will love this place and the wagon nuts are great.
Take Care

Granted my BJ7 is a little bigger than your Sprite, but it's all about perspective, lol

The wheels were on the car when I got it and I can't find any brand ID anywhere on the front. they are 17" rims and the tires are 255/50/17's. I'll pull a wheel off and see if there is anything on the back side.

Very nice, love the nice interior carpet shot.

Those look like falcon tires by the tread design.

Welcome, Lorne.

The original floor mats are unused and are in the rear seat footwell area. The original owner had carpeted floormats made up and also had a carpeted rear cargo mat made so the rear area is perfect.

REALLY pretty wagon! Great pics and I love the wheels too.

Also like your Brit rides. I think you'll fit right in with the gang here! Welcome!

There is a group of B-body enthuiasts who meet every other week (or twice a month) at Cuban Breezes on Tampa Rd. on Wednesdays at 7:00. Check with Jimmie at 727-417-1986 if you are interested in attending. Jimmie has a 96 Caprice sedan.

Nice wagon.

Thanks Fred, I'll call him and see when the next one is scheduled.

Them wheels look like they were modeled after the old Mustang option rims.
