Anybody else betting that the red bulbs on the rear of this Tahoe are solid the whole time it is creating 1000ft. "traffic breaks" from the left lane?

My Dad bought new, a '69 Buick Sportwagon. 3rd row forward seating, 400 V8 !!

Even back then I thought it was a cool car. The biggest GM screw up was it had 4-wheel drum brakes!!

Ours was a silver color.

We had the same car in white! Loved that thing!

My second car was an '81 Olds Delta 88 with that same interior. What a chick magnet that was.

Haha we had one of those too. It was a diesel with silver paint, and a deep red interior. That was a pretty cool car too.

ETA: Ours was a 1979..

Color combo sounds cool, but it must've been a slug. Diesel!!

Yeah, I looked it up. The diesel seems to be fairly rare, it was a 5.7 liter, and the torque/ hp ratings are just pathetic! (120hp / 220tq).. I guess that’s decent for the time. Just always expect a larger diesel like that to have better numbers. It was definitely a heavy car!

My ex-bil had a diesel Seville. What a POS that was--til he put a 350 gas engine in it!
