The Buick Estate was introduced in 1970 as a separate series on the B-body like the LeSabre and the Wildcat and consequently shared their 124.0-inch (3,150 mm) wheelbase, basic body and interior. The LeSabre Custom's bright rocker, wheelhouse and rear lower fender moldings were used. Woodgrain was an option for the bodysides. Interiors were all vinyl in a Custom grade. Despite being on the B-body it shared the Electra's Buick 455 V8 and four VentiPorts on the front fenders. This was Buick's first full-sized station wagon since 1964. The following year the Buick Estate would move up to Electra's larger body and more voluminous interior.
