1979 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser Has Smooth Ride, Even When Full of Eggs

Here's a magazine advertisement for the 1979 version, showcasing its ability to be loaded with enough boxes of eggs to feed breakfast to a medium-sized city.
Peak Wagon in the United States was two years in the rear-view mirror by 1979, but wagons still sold well and Oldsmobile would remain one of Detroit's major wagon players for quite a few more years to come.
