I think only the grille and bumper (and hood?) differed as far as the front end between the Caprice, Roadmaster, and Custom Cruiser. The Buick also had the Vista roof. It was odd that Buick also got the Roadmaster sedan (with a different front end from the wagon) but Olds didn't get an equivalent sedan.

I could see myself doing that..I don't really like dealing with car salesmen, they waste so much time. I have no interest in haggling, prefer fixed prices for products.
-
That is interesting...wasn't aware of that.
-
I've wondered about that before...Amazon is involved in so many different businesses.. I was thinking about it--- I'm an Amazon Prime customer and purchase a lot of products from their site, I have Amazon Prime audio and video streaming and listen to/watch/read a lot of content from them, and I use many of their AWS tools and services at work. 3 very distinct use cases.
-
Yeah, the one on the left is an '80s Hilux, which is a bit smaller than the original '90s Tacoma..but still quite a size difference.
-
Well, the first pic is a 2nd gen Sonoma on the left, those were truly compact.
-
I can see the Pontiac G8, Chevy SS and V-series Cadillacs being sought after, esp. the manuals..in an age of forgettable FWD transverse engine mediocrity, these were standouts for GM.
-
Yeah, Black & Decker..they work pretty well. I have a 100 ft cord, and that's enough to reach back of my backyard. Just have to not get tangled up in the cord, esp. the string trimmer..
-
My snow blower, leaf blower, leaf blower/mulcher, string trimmer, hand saw and chain saw are all corded...my drill is cordless w/ a charging dock. I can definitely see how cordless would be better for some of those...
-
For current SUVs, I can see the Grand Cherokee SRT and Trackhawk, Durango SRT 392 and Durango SRT Hellcat being collectible...
-
I guess that movie wouldn’t have been the same if they had been driving a current LeBaron convertible.
-
^ kinda looks like Brandywine Falls, was last there July 2019, took these pics then. Was out there yesterday, parking lot was full.
-
The later RVs my family had looked like these--a '78 Southwind, 28 ft w/ a 440 V8, had it for about 4 years then replaced by an '85 Winnebago Chieftain 33 ft w/ a 454. They kept that one 10 years until they retired from RVing.
-
I kinda like it also...I like 240Zs more like these, though... Neat...I did a lot of camping at Ohio and Pa lakes, state parks, etc as a kid in my folks' '73 Dodge Sportsman Mobile Traveler 21 ft Class C RV...even took cross country summer trips to Arizona in it. .They had it from about 1975 to 1981, then got a 28 ft Southwind Class A RV. The Mobile Traveler looked like this one below.
-
Length and wheelbase look similar, the new one looks taller--mostly wheel/tire size, I'd assume..though the nose looks taller.
-
Sharp..like the color...looks like you got it plated already also...already been to the DMV?
-
Pollen seems to have been worse this Spring than in recent years...oak tree pollen all over everything....beautiful, unusually warm sunny weather. But the pollen is killing me.
-
Took a break and a walk around the block and saw an unbadged RHD M-B Metris postal van. Didn’t realize the USPS was using them.
-
I wonder how much the battery pack in Hummer weighs...
-
True, but the 2500HD is a true work truck for hauling stuff. The Hummer EV is just a pricy toy. And imagine the poor schlub in the Chevy Spark they run into... wouldn't stand a chance.
-
Pedantic much? I wouldn't consider any of those sedans as they have frameless door glass. Now an '80s Mustang LX notchback, that was a 2dr sedan as it did have upper door frames and a fixed b-pillar.
-
Don't think I'd classify the Grand National or GNX as a 'performance sedan'...more of a performance coupe or muscle car. Remember, the Regal it was based on was a personal luxury coupe. Anyway, it was one of the fastest cars of the 80s and a unique last hurrah for RWD Buick performance cars..
-
That's insane...3000lbs of battery?
-
In another time and place, I coulda been a Buick man. Some beautiful beastly 70s Big Buicks.. ..and some sweet '80s Buicks.
-
Yes, long run. Similarly for Buick and their Road Wheels, around well into the 80s. And Olds with the SS II (?).
