Station wagons are a dying breed in todays showroomsand#44; but perhaps if they were building wagons as cool as this 1967 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser that wouldnt be the case. Many of us grew up looking out the sky panels of a wagon very much like thisand#44; and not many have survived in this conditionand#44; so if youre looking to relive some memories and make some new onesand#44; this is an awesome choice. Face itand#44; station wagons are cool today. Where else can you get this much sheetmetaland#44; this much interior spaceand#44; and V8 power for so little cash? A truck? Sureand#44; if you like driving something that handles like a truck. This Olds cruises the highways with an effortless ease that you have to experience to believe. The cream paint is accented with the usual wood appliquesand#44; which really is the only way you want your vintage wagonand#44; right? The paint is in absolutely spectacular conditionand#44; indicative of someone either really loving this car or spending a ton of cash on it. Either way youre getting something in top conditionand#44; ready to rock. This is a big carand#44; make no mistakeand#44; but the proportions are excellent and that kick-up at the rear doors visually ties this car to the rest of the Cutlass lineup and provides a great place for a contrasting pinstripe to really dress things up. Theres also plenty of chromeand#44; all of which is in excellent shapeand#44; with the roof rack showing some minor pitting but other than thatand#44; its pretty impressive. The parchment interior is brightand#44; spaciousand#44; and ready to hit the road for a family trip. Were guessing that its been reupholsteredand#44; since its just too nice to be 50 years oldand#44; but on the other handand#44; it looks quite correct and this is obviously a car thats led a good life. There are some very minor signs of useand#44; but no split seams or tears in the upholsteryand#44; and all three rows are correctly finished with factory-style materials and patterns. Theres also contrasting dark tan carpet throughout the interiorand#44; which shows no fading or heavy wearand#44; mostly because there are heavy-duty mats keeping it protected. The driver gets a sporty three-spoke steering wheel and a pair of round instrument pods that cover only the basics of speed and fuel leveland#44; so someone has added a set of white-faced auxiliary gauges under the dash. Theres also a working AM/FM radio and you just cant beat the view from those awesome roof-mounted windows. Theres also an impressive amount of space in backand#44; even with the third-row seat in use. Oldsmobile used a potent 330 cubic inch V8 throughout the Cutlass lineup and its fat torque curve makes this wagon surprisingly quick around town and a superlative high-speed cruiser on the highway. Its nicely detailed with Oldsmobile Gold paint on the valve covers and the traditional bright red air cleaner assembly with Jetfire decal. It starts easily and purrs smoothly at idleand#44; and thanks to a fresh dual exhaust system with glasspacks and dual Flowmastersand#44; its got a nice rumble that never gets annoying. A TH400 3-speed automatic is durable and there are highway-friendly gears out backand#44; making this a great choice for road trips. Its pretty original underneathand#44; so dont expect shiny and perfectand#44; but there is no evidence that this car spent any time in winter weather and it looks quite solid indeed. Power steering and power brakes make it an effortless car to drive and the 205/70/14 whitewall radials on the original wheels and wire wheel covers give it the perfect vintage suburban look. If you like wagonsand#44; youre going to love this Olds. If youre not a wagon guyand#44; its OKand#44; but maybe you should see what all the fuss is about. This is an awesome family hauler!
