Lou, what a gr8 feature. Been a loooooong time since I've seen one of these - never with the wire wheel covers. 425 is pretty rare too - biggest of the Nail head design, produced from '63-'66. From the hey-day era of station wagons. 👌🏻

I think it's the same engine that Buick put into the 65 Riviera Grand Sport. It looks like it has 2 carburetors under the air cleaner there. The Nailhead is a design feature that creates huge amounts of Torque.

I was intrigued by the IONIA body tag instead of FISHER. From what I can tell, they made some station wagon bodies for GM and others?!?!? I never realized that before.

Beautiful example. The color change and spoke wheel covers really make the car eye-catching. I personally have begun to love classic station wagons. They're pieces of "mid-century" suburban history. I remember when I was a kid in the '70's, many people began to use these to use as a hauler for construction materials and tools. They would drive them until the bodies rotted away. By the way Lou, I believe the large lamps on the front fenders were optional cornering lights.

Seems funny that younger people from the 1970’-1990’s balked at driving or owning a station wagon, yet today drive SUV’S. I am just a little surprised that this particular wagon didn’t come with the third rear seat. Some wagons had a pair of third seats facing one another, and others had a rear-facing third seat. These were fun, fun cars as a kid to ride in. Thanks Lou & Buzz for a great memory!

Some had the 401's and some were produced with the 425's and if you were lucky enough to find the 425's with the duel quad's, 360 Hp and all kinds of torque!! One of my 1964 Buick Wildcat's I timed at 0 to 60 MPH at 5.5 seconds. You can't beat those numbers!!!

This is a very unique station wagon. There were some things on this Buick LeSabre Estate Station Wagon that I notice are unique. One of these is a tilt steering wheel. Until this video I did not know that a tilt steering wheel option existed in 1964. Also this is the first time I have seen a purse hanger option on the dashboard. Also it was unusual to see a vehicle with a large 425 cubic inch V8 with a single exhaust pipe. Since I was born in 1951 I grew up in a family of 6 children where my parents owned a number of station wagon cars over the years.

After a carb rebuild and exhaust and tires,it was ready to go. Unfortunately, I was showing some friends how fast I could go around the back of my dad’s gas station, lost control leaving the asphalt onto the crushed stone and smashed into the cement building and destroyed the whole front end.

Hi, Lou! Yep! Here it is, the "My Car Story" I've been waiting for! This big beautiful Buick is a big bright ray of sunshine in that Sun Burst Yellow 😎, especially for an avid wagon fan and historian like me! (Matches perfectly with the house, too!) Never mind the horn, I think just the car's sheer presence will warn people to get out of the way! LOL! 😀 BTW, 1964 was the last year Buick built a full-size wagon until 1970. Same story with Oldsmobile, until 1971. Not really sure exactly why the Estate Wagon and Fiesta were retired, but that was the same year Buick and Olds brought out the Sport Wagon and the Vista Cruiser, which were based on the Skylark and F-85 intermediates and were famous for their raised rear roof section with tinted glass panels. They were instantly popular, so my guess is Buick and Olds simply deemed the full-size wagons unnecessary. Also, the headlamp dimmer is called Autronic Eye. Many thanks to you and Buz for this magical cruise aboard the Banana Boat! Would love to have him aboard in our wagon club!

HI Steve, Thank you for your kind words. Yes, you're right, MANY times I catch myself talking over the Care Takers of the car, and I'll keep working on that. Happy to read your Parents had Buicks :-) Lou

Nice piece......regarding the Autotronic Eye, I remember that GM feature to be called Twilight Sentinel (which may very well have been a reference applied solely to Cadillacs)

This has to be the first grocery getter you featured on your channel. That's a beautiful station wagon indeed! Looks great in it's banana yellow paint job. A nice change from the muscle cars that are regularly featured. The engine sounds healthy and the car is in excellent condition.

No, Lou has shown wagons several times. He seems like a sports car guy, but then many of the restored cars are of that version. He has also demonstrated several trucks. We like the variety, and Lou Costabile is the best in the business at consistently showing every car to the extent of its beauty!

Another great video Lou. Don't see a whole lot of Buick wagons. I seen a I believe it was a 1957 Buick at Cruising the Coast last year that was a 4 door hardtop wagon. I had only heard of those cars before. My grandma loved Buicks but I don't know I'd she ever had a Buick wagon or not.

Those 425 cu in engines were boss! We had one in a 1960 Olds wagon, Super 88, which was the high compression version. Imagine having to use premium gas in one of those seven liter, quad barrel carb engines today!

The electric headight dimmer on the dash is called an Autronic Eye. We had one on our '63 Caddy Deville and it was always confused by street lights.

Buz is also a keen model car collector who runs the Route 66 Model Car store. I’ve purchased a number of beautiful hand built 1/43rd model cars from him. Hint for Lou to make another episode showing his collection.
