Hey, just brought home a one-owner 1983 Cutlass Cruiser with 75k miles on it. The car belonged to my coworker’s grandfather who passed away and he wanted to find a good home for it. I plan on taking care of the regular laundry list of stuff, also replacing the headliner, and - the big one - replacing the rusted out driver’s side rear frame horn and the rear bumper. All in good time. When it’s sorted out and safe, I plan on driving it here and there. Put my bike racks on the roof, just enjoy it.

Hopefully I’ll learn from you guys , happy to join up -
Steve

Welcome from SW Georgia. As for the headliner see if you have a good upholstery shop in your area

Nice wagon! Welcome to the group. Is there anywhere to get a replacement headliner for a wagon?
Jeff.
They don't reproduce wagon headliner boards, unfortunately. . It's either repair what you have with fiberglass resin and mat, or cloth. Been there, done that.
....or if you're lucky enough to find a decent replacement. Wish I put away a few over the years.
