Short for Vista Cruiser, Oldsmobile's mid-sized station wagon launched in 1964. Its trick was the roof: raised over the rear seats, with glass across the front of the step and long tinted windows along each side, so back-seat passengers could see the sky. It was built on a longer wheelbase than the ordinary Oldsmobile wagon.
