Early History
Buick used the "Estate" name to denote their station wagons.
The first Buick Estate used a wooden body and was offered on the 1940 Super model. It was available on Buick's B-body Special series in 1941 and 1942, and later on Buick's larger C-body (Roadmaster and Super) in the 1946-53 model years. From 1954-1958 it was only offered on the smaller B-body Century and Special, with all steel bodies. Among these were hardtop Estate Wagons called Caballero that were offered only in 1957 and 1958.
From 1959 through 1964 it was still offered on the B-body which had been renamed Invicta and LeSabre.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or history:
“It is easy to see that, even in the freedom of early youth, an American girl never quite loses control of herself; she enjoys all permitted pleasures without losing her head about any of them, and her reason never lets the reins go, though it may often seem to let them flap.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“Free from public debt, at peace with all the world, and with no complicated interests to consult in our intercourse with foreign powers, the present may be hailed as the epoch in our history the most favorable for the settlement of those principles in our domestic policy which shall be best calculated to give stability to our Republic and secure the blessings of freedom to our citizens.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
