As a collector that can really appreciate a nice selection of station wagon models, I can honestly say that there are some decent ones available, can we use more, of course. 

I brought these two together as a comparison of their similarities. Since they are essentially the same car with each GM brand giving the wagon its own style.

1969 Buick Sport Wagon, from Kess Models in Embassy Gold -- and a 1969 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser from the Goldvarg Collection in Aztec Gold.

Love those wagons!  Soon you'll be adding one or two '67 Ford Country Squires as well.

@jack-dodds I hope you're right Jack. Been waiting a long time for the Goldvargs.

Man, all of those are beautiful.  The Vista Cruiser reminds of the one from That 70's Show.😎

@jack-dodds Since these'67 Ford wagons were first mentioned a couple years ago, I'll believe the release when I see it. Been waiting patiently, hope I live long enough!

Nice wagons, I can't get enough of them!  I believe that the Buick Sport Wagon should have woodgraining inside the chrome outlines on the sides and tailgate.  Here's pictures from the sales brochure:

1969 Buick

 The woodgrain was reversed from the 1968 Sports Wagon shown here:

@pete-rovero Although I never owned a 1969 Buick wagon, I did have '68 Skylark convertible (so I know a little something ).  I'm 95% certain that all wagon side woodgrain applications were optional equipment.  Therefore, if one wanted to ADD woodgrain to their GV '69, that would be accurate but also correct is any model without it.

@pete-rovero, the Sportwagon came in two series, the SkylArk (no woodgrain) and the Skylark Custom (with wood grain).
