What is the Buick Estate Wagon?

The Buick Estate Wagon was a full-size station wagon, pairing room for passengers and luggage with the comfort-focused character of Buick’s larger cars. It sat at the spacious end of the brand’s range.

In the 1980s, Buick also sold versions of the wagon as the LeSabre Estate and Electra Estate. The full-size LeSabre and Electra cars moved to front-wheel drive, while the wagons retained rear-wheel drive. In its final year in this series, the wagon returned to the Estate Wagon name.
