Recently acquired the Kess Buick Sport Wagon to accompany my NEO Olds Vista Cruiser. By 1969 these glass top wagons were nearing the end of their run that began in 1964. Buick styling on these went downhill after 1966 IMHO. Shown together, and a additional pics of two 1969 Buicks, the four door Skylark hardtop by NEO.
Kess wagon also available in blue with wood trim.

John Q; I recently got this yellow Olds wagon as well and I am very pleased with it. I held off on the Kess though, because when it was discussed here a couple of months ago, several shortcomings were identified. Now that you have it in hand though, what is your opinion of it?

My parents had a '68 Special 4-door in Burnished Saddle with a black interior. No whitewalls or vinyl roof. The Skylark would probably be as close to that car as I'll ever see.

@jack-dodds Well, I'm pleased with it but I don't seem to be as hyper critical as some on the forum. All photo etch is in place, glazing fits well, paint quality is good and probably represents a correct Buick gold from the era. Good chassis detail. Shows the third seat so this is a 8 passenger version. I guess my only concern is why no thin stripe whitewalls?
