Photos would be nice. In any case, they would not have been factory built.

Here is a tread about a 2dr that Blue found a pic of. Yeah someone built this car, just not at Oldsmobile.

There is a guy in Ohio with a 64 Cutlass / El Camino hybrid. Looks good enough to fool the uninitiated.

Kinda like this one, only older? I thought he also had a thread on the interior swap he did but could not find it. Maybe there is still another member that has done that because I am sure I remember reading a very long thread with lots of pictures of the interior swap.

I'm Crazy

You're probably right . I'm a newbie and a bit crazy . The El Camino type Pontiac I saw turned out to be a 1 off built by a dealer . No one believed that I saw a Skylark Vista wagon , but they do exsist . Thanks for replying .

Buick did make a Sport Wagon, which had the same glass style roof that the Olds Vista Cruiser came with.

Sport Wagon??

"Sportie" in the Skywagon circles.

I like the ones with the swoopie woodgrain and fender skirts.
Wish my Vista had the skirt option.
Guess I'll settle for curb feelhers.

I'm 54 and with age come wisdom, like finally realizing you don't know a damn thing about anything.

I'm still looking for the dipstick on my PC?
Where's the filler cap and drain plug?
If all else fails restart, if that don't work throw it out the window after kicking and BF hammering it to a pulp and go buy a new one.

I never said I was smarter than you . Why do you have a problem that I'm 54 ? Are you the moderater of this site ?
I followed the rules and you want to insult me.
You did say I'm stupid . Any one want to get in on this ?

He wasn't saying YOU don't know anything, he was saying ONE (as in a person, common mistake in grammar). BTW I am 54 too and am still kind of dumb when it comes to these computers even though I somehow got roped into this . Believe me, I know our people here and Blue was not insulting you. I am sure he will apologize and clear things up.
