Welcome! It is the Impala SS Forum, but we accept all 91-96 B and D bodies, Impala, Caprice, Roadmaster, Fleetwood, and Custom Cruisers. The OCCs are just the rarest of the models, made in 1991 and 1992 only.

Looks good! I love the color!
If you become interested in swapping back to the original grille, which is unique and not what's on yours, you might have trouble finding one, as the car is so uncommon. The missing side marker lens is the same as most of the other B-bodies, and is a breeze to find.

This forum has been around for a long time and has dealt with just about everything with these cars, there is enough information to read to keep you busy for days. I highly recommend reading through some of the information here, the stickies especially. A lot of what applies to the Impala SS applies to your car too, save for wagon specific info and most engine-related info. Your car is almost identical to the 91-93 Caprice and Roadmaster wagons as well, so discussions about those applies to about 98% of your vehicle.

thanks for the welcome . I found this car literally 2 doors up from my business . drove by it saw a for sale sign in the drivers window .85 y/o hot rodder bought it in 2013 in indiana , was a one owner, this owner only drove it 500 miles since 2013 . the side marker was there when i bought it , it fell off a mile from his place. i wend back and found it and its now back on the car securely . i have a car lot as a side hustle for the last 30 years . I buy my toys usually as an impulse , saw this at 830am and it was back to my lot by 9am . sometimes not the smartest thing, but oh well, you only go this way once As to the grille, honestly like it. The body is straight and clean the underneath is wicked clean, it would be a crime to undercoat it etc. the interior is also wicked clean and no major signs of wear. installing the plugs filters , radiator tomorrow. i didn't buy it to sell, maybe someday , but to me its pretty neat, so im gonna have some fun with it hopefully. But i would love to find out what it might be worth, especially since i jumped on it soo quick. the hot rodder said he paid 12 k for it in 13, i didnt pay that , but cant find many for sale anyway to judge its potential value. . thanks again for the welcome !! dan

I totally agree , and too think it was only 2 houses up from my shop and the prev owner only drove it less than 500 miles since he bought it in 2013. its soo freaken clean . i have only found one crack in the plastic on the very top of the drivers door panel. i know wagons arent for everyone , but soo far i smile everytime i look at the car !! I still dont know if i paid too much, but oh well , time will tell ! thanks for responding to my post !!
