There were not a lot of these cars made, compared to other cars of the same era, so even when new they were fairly rare. What I have always found interesting is how rare these cars are these days, considering that over 1,000,000 full-size (clamshell) GM wagons were made from 1971-1976. I guess many were crashed in derbies and simply junked in the 1980s. I gathered all of these numbers a while back and thought I would post them here. Here are all of the production numbers for the 1971-1976 Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Buick stationwagons: CHEVROLET- 1971 Brookwood- (Biscayne)- 2 seat - 5,314 Townsman- (Bel-Air)- 2 seat - 12,951 Townsman- (Bel-Air)- 3 seat - 6,870 Kingswood- (Impala)- 2 seat - 26,638 Kingswood- (Impala)- 3 seat - 32,311 Kingswood Estate (Caprice)- 2 seat - 11,913 Kingswood Estate (Caprice)- 3 seat - 19,010 CHEVROLET- 1972 Brookwood- 2 seat - 8,150 Townsman- 2 seat - 16,482 Townsman- 3 seat - 8,667 Kingswood- 2 seat - 43,152 Kingswood- 3 seat - 40,248 Kingswood Estate- 2 seat - 20,281 Kingswood Estate- 3 seat - 34,723 CHEVROLET- 1973 Bel-Air- 2 seat - 14,549 Bel-Air- 3 seat - 6,321 Impala- 2 seat - 46,940 Impala- 3 seat - 43,664 Caprice Estate- 2 seat - 22,969 Caprice Estate- 3 seat - 39,535 CHEVROLET- 1974 Bel-Air- 2 seat - 6,437 Bel-Air- 3 seat - 2,913 Impala- 2 seat - 23,455 Impala- 3 seat - 23,259 Caprice Estate- 2 seat - 12,280 Caprice Estate- 3 seat - 23,063 CHEVROLET- 1975 Bel-Air- 2 seat - 4,032 Bel-Air- 3 seat - 2,386 Impala- 2 seat - 17,998 Impala- 3 seat - 19,445 Caprice Estate- 2 seat - 9,047 Caprice Estate- 3 seat - 18,858 CHEVROLET 1976 Impala- 2 seat - 19,657 Impala- 3 seat - 21,329 Caprice Estate- 2 seat - 10,029 Caprice Estate- 3 seat - 21,804 -------------------------------- PONTIAC 1971 Safari- 2 seat - 10,322 Safari- 3 seat - 9,283 Grand Safari- 2 seat - 3,613 Grand Safari- 3 seat - 5,972 PONTIAC 1972 Safari- 2 seat - 14,536 Safari- 3 seat - 12,766 Grand Safari- 2 seat - 5,675 Grand Safari- 3 seat - 8,540 PONTIAC 1973 Safari- 2 seat - 15,762 Safari- 3 seat - 14,654 Grand Safari- 2 seat - 6,894 Grand safari- 3 seat - 10,776 PONTIAC 1974 Safari- 2 seat - 5,662 Safari- 3 seat - 6,486 Grand Safari- 2 seat - 2,894 Grand Safari- 3 seat - 5,255 PONTIAC 1975 Safari- 2 seat - 3,964 Safari- 3 seat - 4,992 Grand Safari- 2 seat - 2,568 Grand Safari- 3 seat - 4,752 PONTIAC 1976 Safari- 2 seat - 4,735 Safari- 3 seat - 5,513 Grand Safari- 2 seat - 3,462 Grand Safari- 3 seat - 6,176 ----------------------------- OLDSMOBILE 1971 Custom Cruiser- 2 seat - 4,049 Custom Cruiser- 3 seat - 9,932 OLDSMOBILE 1972 Custom Cruiser- 2 seat - 6,907 Custom Cruiser- 3 seat - 18,087 OLDSMOBILE 1973 WITH WOODGRAIN: Custom Cruiser- 2 seat - 7,142 Custom Cruiser- 3 seat - 19,163 WITHOUT WOODGRAIN: Custom Cruiser- 2 seat - 5,275 Custom Cruiser- 3 seat - 7,341 OLDSMOBILE 1974 WITH WOODGRAIN: Custom Cruiser- 2 seat - 2,960 Custom Cruiser- 3 seat - 8,947 WITHOUT WOODGRAIN: Custom Cruiser- 2 seat - 1,481 Custom Cruiser- 3 seat - 2,528 OLDSMOBILE 1975 WITH WOODGRAIN: Custom Cruiser- 2 seat - 2,837 Custom Cruiser- 3 seat - 9,458 WITHOUT WOODGRAIN: Custom Cruiser- 2 seat - 1,458 Custom Cruiser- 3 seat - 2,315 OLDSMOBILE 1976 WITH WOODGRAIN: Custom Cruiser- 2 seat - 3,849 Custom Cruiser- 3 seat - 12,269 WITHOUT WOODGRAIN: Custom Cruiser- 2 seat - 2,572 Custom Cruiser- 3 seat - 3,626 ------------------------------- BUICK 1971 Estate Wagon- 2 seat - 8,699 Estate Wagon- 3 seat - 15,335 BUICK 1972 Estate Wagon- 2 seat - 10,175 Estate Wagon- 3 seat - 18,793 Buick 1973 Estate Wagon- 2 seat - 12,282 Estate Wagon- 3 seat - 23,513 Buick 1974 Estate Wagon- 2 seat - 4,581 Estate Wagon- 3 seat - 9,831 Buick 1975 Estate Wagon- 2 seat - 4,128 Estate Wagon- 3 seat - 9,612 Buick 1976 Estate Wagon- 2 seat - 5,990 Estate Wagon- 3 seat - 14,384 The Oldsmobile numbers were broke down by woodgrain/non-woodgrain models. I wish that was also available for the Pontiac and Buick models as well. Chevrolet was known, because on the Chevrolets woodgrain was not available on any model except for the Caprice wagon, which was standard. I think it could have been deleted if desired. I do not ever remember seeing an Impala wagon with woodgrain, but I guess if someone special ordered one it would have been possible, but I would imagine that they would have simply bought a Caprice wagon if they wanted woodgrain.
Thanks for the info, I never thought about the production numbers of my wagon before, never thought about it being a low volume.
No problem Greg. How is your 71' wagon equipped? Does it have woodgrain? 3rd seat? Do you have any photos of it?
