Yeah those electric clamshell tailgates on the GMs were cool. My Buick touring wagon also had that, and the 455. That baby purred once I had replaced all that needed it...except the valve seals. She leaked/burned oil like an old well. I read somewhere that a lot of these wagons burned up from electrical fires...I can see how they could start! Man it was super smooth but kind of a boat, steering had a ton of play. I don't miss that part.

A few years after my tour I sold mine to a restorer...but his wife had other plans for him. He then sold it to a derbyist and that was the end of that '76 Buick Estate wagon. "Deuce and a quarter" I was told by a guy at an East St. Louis gas station marveling at it.
