Hi guys,
I've had an interest in cars from the time I was a kid 'til now. I've been involved with model cars, on to real cars, Drag cars from gassers to Top Fuel, then hot rods and now back to regular cars. I recently sold my '39 Ford coupe and have been hunting for a '67 Olds Vista Cruiser. Last week I made a deal on one and couldn't be happier. My plan is to make the wagon a dependable cruiser then sell my late model truck. All it really needs is door seals and a good pair of taillight lenses. Hope to learn more and contribute some to this forum.

Beautiful car!

 

Thanks Jaunty75. It's a good "20-footer".

 

That is a sweet car my friend!

 

Thanks man!

 

Welcome to CO

 

Very nice! Is it black on black?

 

Thanks! The interior is charcoal gray. Look close and you can see it has a vinyl top (??) The top was professionally done but must have been somethng a previous owner wanted. I kind of like it, though. Something different.

 

Awesome wagon)

 

Thanks for the welcomes fellas.

 

I once thought wagons were only for grandpa's, now I am one I want one . That is just one beautiful car.... Tedd

 

Welcome, willys33. I'm sure you'll feel right at home (on the web) here...

 

Thanks guys. I had wagons when they weren't cool. Had a really nice '67 Vista back in the early 70's. That was one I should have kept.

 

Willys33, I just joined this group myself. I have a '64 Buick Skylark Wagon (later remnamed SportWagon). I'm working with 3 Glass Mfgrs to make the world's first Reproduction Skylights for restorations. I'm looking for a head count to see if I can break even on the huge tooling cost. METRO Rubber will have your 4 door seals, but they must be for the Wagon, not a Sedan. The wagon's rear doors are 5inches longer. They don't make the rear door seals for the early yrs (64-65) but the second generation (66-67) rear door seals work fine for 64-65. They have just one peg out of place but you just drill one 1/8" hole for it and, viola, you're done. Your vinyl top is a one-in-a-million. ClassicCarParts

 

Thanks for the info on weatherstrips. I'll check out what Metro has. As far as the glass, man, what a huge undertaking. Years ago I looked into having some pretty complex shaped glass pipes made. Major money for each piece and the minimum was 10,000 units. I wish you luck and hope you can pull it off. Luckily, for me, the glass in mine is fine.
Do you have other parts for these cars too? Mike

 

Welcome to CO nice ride.

 

Thanks Chuck.
