From Wikipedia to resolve once and for all: In 1977, the Buick Estate was downsized and relaunched on General Motors' B-body. In 1979 an Estate Wagon Limited was offered with many extra cost options included as standard. To further differentiate the Limited model, fenders included four VentiPorts (up from three) and the interior had loose pillow designed seating. In 1980 body changes made the wagon more aerodynamic for better fuel efficiency. Also in 1980, the Electra Estate Wagon was introduced and replaced the Estate Wagon Limited. The 'base' model was called the LeSabre Estate Wagon. The Electra Estate model name was used in 1988 and 1989 even though the Electra sedan used the front wheel drive C platform. In 1990 the Estate model name was used, even though the Electra name was used for the its final model year, 1990, for the sedan models. After the Buick V8's discontinuation, the Estate initially came with either the Olds 307 or Olds 350 diesel. So basically it depends on the year to determine if Electra is included as part of its name. -- Last edit: 2015-06-04 05:58:30 |

Unless some details of the grille are blurred, it's a 1984 or newer LeSabre Estate Wagon. The models that were not identified as LeSabre or Electra were the 1970-79 and 1990 (and the 1991-96 Roadmasters...) From 1977 to 1979, there were two versions of the Estate Wagon. The basic one with LeSabre exterior trim and the Estate Wagon Limited with Electra 225 exterior trim. From 1970 to 1974, all Estate Wagons had Electra 225 exterior trim and all the 1975-76 models had LeSabre exterior trim. Here's a LeSabre Estate Wagon from 1986: http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/gallery/files/9/8/6/86_wagon.jpg Now another 1985 leSabre with the woodgrain side paneling. http://www.flickr.com/photos/hartog/7858080510/in/photostream/ The 1981-89 Electra Estate Wagon and the 1990 Estate Wagon looked like this: Here's a 1985 Electra without the woodgrain paneling option. http://www.flickr.com/photos/hartog/7858096416/in/photostream/ A 1990 Estate Wagon http://www.flickr.com/photos/hartog/7858155058/in/photostream/ Here's a 1980 Electra, it's similar to the 1981 and newer models but it had a different grille used that year only, still had portholes and the badges were still located at the rear like it was on the 1977-79 Estate Wagon model. http://www.flickr.com/photos/hartog/7858056922/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/hartog/7858057152/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/hartog/7858057620/in/photostream/ The 1980 LeSabre didn't have portholes and had it's badges located on the front fenders: Link to "www.flickr.com" -- Last edit: 2013-09-23 18:09:21 |
