58Roadmaster ◊ 2008-02-11 10:30	I was going by the comments above. Since the portholes are blurry, this could also be a model 69 Century Estate Wagon. In this factory image, the forward-most porthole is nearly over the center of the wheel opening: http://www.agentbudd.com/56Buick/factory/1956_factory_photo_mod69.jpg

Big Dave ◊ 2008-02-12 05:04	I counted 4 portholes. Does that make it a Century??
58Roadmaster ◊ 2008-02-12 06:16	Yes, there were no Super or Roadmaster wagons in '56. This is a model 69 Century Estate Wagon, then. http://www.buicks.net/years/56.shtml Same problem of blurry portholes with this other page: /vehicle_87910-Buick-Century-61-1955.html Finally, I was wrong here . -- Last edit: 2008-02-12 06:21:07
