Buick Other models

The register lists 5 versions here with displacement from 5,000 to 6,600 cm³ from six- to eight-cylinder engines, kerb weights from 1,780 to 2,800 kg, gross vehicle weights from 2,455 to 3,000 kg, a length of 5,550 mm and widths from 1,780 to 2,040 mm.

As large-displacement V8 estates, these Buick models competed directly with comparable cars from Oldsmobile, Pontiac and Ford and were widely used in the United States as tow vehicles for caravans and boats and as family load carriers, before pick-ups and vans increasingly took over this role in the 1980s.

For a used example, check the frame and floor pan for corrosion, the axles and leaf springs given the high payload, the operation of the automatic transmission and cooling system on the large-displacement V8 engines, and the condition of the tailgate and load floor; parts run through the GM network and specialist dealers for classic American vehicles.
