Default 1975 Oldsmobile Cross Country Station Wagon

Maybe i have an opportunity to by an 1975 Olds.

The owner will send me some pics into the next days...

VIN: 3Q35T5X124495

But i canīt find any information about the car.

Is this an 1Gen Custom Cruiser?

Maybe anyone can decode the VIN?

Probably rides like a dream. You might want to stop every hundred miles or so to clean the Kia's out of the wheel wells.

Wow, looks like it's missing the turret.

Seriously, cool car. I think that's one of those wagons with one of those two-way tailgates, if I remember correctly. It either folds out like a tailgate, or opens like a car door. I believe you can also turn the trunk key and watch the rear window drop into the tailgate. These cars are attention getters at cruise nights. Most younger people grew up in SUV's, and they have no idea that most familes, back in the 70's, had station wagons. This Olds, and the big Buick Estate Wagon, were the most luxurious "family trucksters" in the GM lineup at the time.

When I was a kid back in the late 60's my old little league baseball coach used to fit the whole team in his to go to the games. Not sure if parents today would allow that but I used to ride in the very back looking out the back window. It was a comfortable cruiser. Cool ride

On a side note our team took 1st place that year!

Whoa, I remember that color green. Looks like Crest toothpaste.

Seriously, that's a cool long roof! Buy it.
