Following the demise of the death of the General Motors’ B platform, the large station wagon largely died with it. 20 years later, these wagons are actually kind of cool.
But, Rutledge Wood’s is even cooler. And, it’s for sale.
Wood’s 1996 Roadmaster Estate Wagon features the 5.7-liter V8 engine, and a four-speed slush box to boot. Noise comes from the Magnaflow exhaust, which should help bystanders do a double take as you roll by. The exterior has also been outfitted with custom paint and “barn wood” style wood paneling. Not that fake stuff.
18-inch Summit Racing Legend Series gunmetal wheels with polished lip are wrapped in Toyo Extensa HP tires, giving the 1996 Roadmaster a one-of-a-kind look, that’s for sure. But the Hotchkis lowering kit helps, too.
The Buick was built for the Lost in Transmission documentary featured by The History Channel, and the seller is ready to let this beaut’ go for just $9,500, or best offer. Check it out at the link here.

And the absolute ugliest in history.
Roadmaster with a Chevy grille? Nice touch.
who is buying big ugly wagons these days.
Swap out the Chevrolet Impala SS grille for a Buick Roadmaster one, get rid of the noisy muffler…and then get back to me. GM should never have let these magnificent big B-cars–comprising not only the Roadmaster but also the Chevy Caprice/Impala SS and Cadillac Fleetwood–die off so easily. They deserve another chance at life, however unlikely, alas, they will get one in this CAFE-choked day and age.
