only way to tell on the wagon it to see the dash as the sheet metal from the doors back are all the same to my knowledge
Had to have been either an olds, or buick wagon,(unless they changed doors and quarter panels as well) , the malibu and bonneville wagons shared body lines that were different from olds and buick..
I like that! It does stick out a little in the front but I dont mind that. I see it has a 2dr cutlass nose/hood, but it has 4 dr fenders? It looks like it belongs really nice, aside from the mirrors. Look too new.
Can anyone determine what those mirrors are off of? I kind of like the look of them. I have a set of '86+ Monte Carlo mirrors that I was planning on using, but I kind of like these better. Besides, I wouldn't have to drill new holes in the door skin after welding up the old sport mirror holes.
I also noticed that the rear doors are welded in to create a 2-dr appearance. Still looks good though.

Look at the wheel well opening and the body line in front of it, those are regular wagon/sedan fenders with a 2-dr nose and hood.
Welding up the rear doors = suck.
That paint scheme is just terrible, I don't think it could possibly look anymore (out)dated if you tried.

Quite possible...not an olds expert
Yep, but it's the easy way to a 2 dr wagon for those without determination
I believe this car was done quite some time ago, the guy also did a Century wagon, as I recall.
Upshot, OP asked for 2 door frt, delivered what I had on hand as reference

Or a Bonneville nose on a Malibu. Main thing I disliked about my Bonneville (which is now for sale by the guy that "had to have it")

I like the front end, but that is about it. If they wanted a 2 door they should have pulled the fenders and doors from the 2 door and grafted them in. It is more work, but it would have went together so much better.
