    But I am looking for, not just ANY wagon, but a General Motors (Chevy or Buick preferred) 9 passenger, acceptable years would be 1971-1976.

    If anyone has any idea please post it.


    For the record, one of these Big Boulavard Barges looks like this:

    I am hoping to find that rare one that has been in some old lady's garage or even her yard for decades, but is still somewhat drivable and a little clean for a car that old, inside.

    That make, during those years, is the largest wagon ever produced, and not by just a little bit, they were almost exactly 19.5 feet long!

    Ideally, I hope to find one that is intact inside and maybe runs or needs only a little fixing to get her running. I'd like to drive it a little on weekends with the kids while I take a few years to bring her back to original beauty.

    Thanks for taking the time to read this and try to think if you know any old ladies with such a station wagon that might want to sell.
