1958 Buick Caballero Navigation
Buick added a wagon to their catalog beginning in 1940, though specialty builders had long been constructing bodies to special order on Buick chassis. Many of the wagons in production were confined to the lower-priced series, and even Ford considered them commercial cars until 1939. The Buick wagon, however, was an upmarket model and for 1940 they were a part of the Super series. For 1941 and 1942, they moved down a bit to the 40-B line. When World War II came to an end, the Buick Special series was comprised of sedans only. The wagon re-appeared as a Super and was later joined by the longer-wheelbase Roadmaster for 1947. Ionia Manufacturing Company in Michigan built the bodies for both of these models. Wood sections appeared in 1949, and were both ornamental and structural members of the body. Buick's last true wood wagon was built in 1953, with the 1954 models being all steel. The four-door Estate Wagon could be found in the Special series and the Century line. This would continue into 1955 and 1956. For 1957, a four-door Estate Wagon was part of the Special series as well as a Riviera hardtop Estate Wagon. The Century offered a hardtop wagon called the Caballero. The Caballero proved to be more popular than either of the Special wagons, with a total of 10,186 examples built.
