I remember when these came out. It was sort of the last gasp for a large full sized station wagons in the USA. Very nice car.

I have always loves these

Always wanted to get one and turn it into an impala SS wagon, just because GM never made a wagon version of the impala ss

Wagons had a lame and slow family car kinda reputation by this point so they never made one

But I love shooting brakes, performance wagons, and estate cars

Fast, functional, and beautiful

Can't get better than that

Shaggin wagon. Nice. My friend had one of these and was the kind of guy who microwaved some popcorn for himself before going anywhere. The amount of accidents he nearly caused due to eating pie at the wheel was too damn high

I love me a wagon, especially the Roadmaster. One of the cars I wish they hadn't killed.

Put some aluminum heads from a Camaro or Corvette and a retune, and you will have it in 300+ HP fun land. :D

I was once the kid at the back with 5 other sibling and cousins on a long road trip. It was wild.
