The Whale Wagons: 1990s Buick Roadmaster



Alex Emond: "This wagon was parked in front of my place in Banff today. Much more appealing, to me, than a van . Big V8 motor, so lots of power, but a ride comparable to a Rolls Royce–not that I'd know for sure. Long and wide, so super stable. The seats were a burgundy velour. I do know that, when choosing upholstery fabric, discretion is the better part of velour.
A sunroof that opens, and with the back seats folded down you have a king size bed. Very nice." AL: This generation of GM wagons were the last of the vinyl woodies. Here's a Wounded Whale we caught in Cambridge. That post has links to others.  And here's Jay Leno's ride in a 1994 Buick Roadmaster.
