New car, not an Olds!
Bought myself a new car for my birthday. Chevrolet Caprice wagon '67 with 76k orginal miles. 327, PG, working AC, power tailgate window.
Bought it in Lakeland, FL on April 12th and the boat left Miami on May 14th with destination Sweden, arriving on June 14th.

It's the 4V 327, 275hp, and unfortunately only single exhaust and there is no PB as you can see (but the seller told me that there was PB even although I told him that I didn't think there was after I saw the pictures.) but I'm thinking of rebuilding it next year with a dual exhaust and discs brakes! Have found some not so expensive disc brakes-kits on Ebay that I'm thinking of shipping over seas.

Digging the wagon. I had a 67 BelAir 9P as a daily driver in the early 80s and always enjoyed that car. It was a 283/PG, power steering and manual brakes, so lack of PB is not exactly unusual on Chevys from that time period.
Since the original wheels on that car were 14", I expect they've been changed to 15" wheels and that's why those 80s wire caps are on there. 1967 Chevy wires are VERY attractive along with the simulated mags they offered those years. But, like just about every other Chevy I see nowadays, people stick those ugly-*** Chevy Rallys on the wagons too. Though to their credit they look better on full-size wagons and Sport Sedans than they do anything else.

I like your taste in cars. I remember when we were kids my friends mom had a Vista (68) with a 400/400 combo. That car hauled *** in more ways than one. LOL! It eventually was given to him and he didn't like driving a "wagon". Well, as they say the times they are a changin. I wish I had that now. What a cool era.

Very nice. I love the color combo and the wood. Go figure on the brakes and steering but it has air. That is an unusual combination. Personally I like the wire wheel covers and whitewalls on it. I had forgotten they were still using powerglides in 1967. Enjoy the car.
