Hey, my name is Harry, and just dropping a note to say hello. I am the proud owner of a recently purchased 95 Buick Roadmaster Estate that was being given up by an 87 year old man who stopped driving. I have wanted a wagon like this for a long time, and my timing could not have been better in finding this one. Looking forward to interacting here and sharing knowledge and fun. Here is a link to a blog about my car, with some pics. All the best!

WELCOME! Check out the Wagonfest 2012 section, we're planning to go to the show in Daytona next month. It's right in your back yard! Smile

From the photos you posted, it looks to be in great shape. Smile

Welcome. Nice blog and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with a car "bucket list", lol. I made this list a few years ago after I bought my '92 OCC (which was one of my "list" cars). It's a little out of date now though. http://ex-vtc.gotdns.com/cars.htm
Oh and that is a nice looking car you've got. Hope you can make it to Daytona, I'll be there.

Great Blog, Harry! Smile

And sweet ride. Love the AGW's! (Long running joke here - Average Gold Woody) Very Happy

I hope you get many miles and years out of it. I'm sure you will. And I'm glad you found us here. Welcome.

IN GOOD CONDITION 89K MILES FULLY LOADED WITH LEATHER NEW TIRES ,NEEDS NOTHING

I emailed twice but never heard back. Lucky he got a hold of you first or I would have bought it. Nice grab.

Thank you all for the warm reception! YES, that was the ad. It was up for 2 hours and I left him 4 messages, LOL...he got back with me on Monday morning and I shot right over. He said "...I guess these are popular, I have 4 more people coming to see it later..." I bought it right away... LOL!

^^^^ LOL I have that tatic used on me when the seller is pushing, but in this case he wasn't full of it. There was one down here like that and the guy said you are the 6th caller today....

A few months back I was going to lunch with a co-worker and saw an AGW for 1200 bucks in a small dealer lot. Went by there 3hrs later after my meeting and it was sold already.
