The wagons are now pretty much complete.

My new son in law has been a great inspiration,and his energy is pretty impressive.

two weekends ago he convinced Me to take the two wagons camping.

The weather was great,and we turned a few heads.



I had to bite the bullet and retint the caprice,way too hot.I haven't driven it since 09 at Toms roundup. So first thing Monday it was booked.



So last weekend Corey talked me into taking them to the Atlantic Nationals car show. we didn't enter,but had a great time.





Saw Jeff's car,but the people I spoke with said he was gone for a walk.

Looks Good Jeff.Tires sure are low profile.





So I said to Marge this has to stop. I know how to fix it.

Hauled them both out Today. I only have room for one show off,





10 holes,some of you probably never knew this.



off with the 235's



Not so tough looking now are you Roadmaster. Just another ugly Funeral car like you were meant to be



Back with the Chev





that was quick, guy spotted them driving buy and bought them.




I am finally content with my wagons look.

I set out to clone a wagon in 2005 like I imagined GM would have,and this is my best attempt.









I know some will hate me for the Buick's new/old look,but I want it to remain a low mile survivor,just used for Funerals.

*sigh*

Sorry Nick, I forgot how much you miss that SSHigh

Man I love your wagons so much Lorne. A 1A2 and a black WB4, how does one get so lucky?

Now all is rite in the world,thanks Lorne.Never did like those spiked wheels but the caprice looks
like GM did it.Are those chrome SSs also 5x4.75 too?You had me scared for a second as I thought
you were going to do something crazy like sell one!
Jim

Those chrome wheels have ten holes because they are not GM wheels. The RMW looks way better on the stocks, btw. Nice job.

Never would have guessed those were aftermarket SS wheels.Who made them Lorne?

As always your wagons put most mirror glass to shame they're so shiny! It looks great. Amazing what wheels will do for the look of a car, they can really change it.

Thanks Jay and all for the comments.

I don't know about them being GM stock,but they were drilled so they would fit a 60's impala bolt pattern.

They aren't showing any signs of peeling ,I had a good look today.

I find the SS wheels make both cars look better.
Looking good Lorne.

I kept an eye out for your cars @ the show Lorne but alas didn't see them, would have loved to get a closer look @ them, hopefully I can get another chance before the summers over to see them in person.

Looks good...I like the RMW stocks on the WB4 too (with wwall tires)

As always, beautiful wagons!!! Glad you are getting them out some

Chris

O I am definitely bored with it Mike.

It was out today,can't get any more boring than this action shot.

I love it!

It looks like the black trim on the driver's side rear door is starting to sag. Please fix that Lorne, you're letting me down man!!


Gorgeous, just gorgeous. Jealous is not a big enough word, but it looked better with the chrome SS wheels.....which is a problem I'll correct as soon as the title is transferred......

I think it is just the cheap phone pic Mike giving that droop look.

You guys and your SS wheels with Buick GS badging crack me up.

My father in law has 8 buick electra wheels like your 79,that would be a better retro look.

Justin you always compliment the Fleet,Thanks.

Lorne.

All your toys are gorgeous Lorne....even the Ford in the garage...

Very welcome Lorne. One thing i've learned (at least IMO) is that you can tell a lot about a funeral director by his cars and how they look. They say a lot about his/her attention to detail. People will see a hearse in the same manner as the funeral home itself. And your cars always look top notch.

It is nice to be able to use your toys in your business...... having wash envy right now.....

Lorne I am glad to see that you and your new son-in-law are getting along so well.You had
mentioned previously that your sons had no interest in cars and hot rods.Looks to me like
you have a kindred spirit in your new family member.Either that or he is after your wagons!
