They're some of the largest family vehicles ever made. Now, they're coming back.

LOGAN — Save the Whales was founded in 1977, the year after one of Gabe Kuszmaul's whales hit the road.

Gabe Kuszmaul shows a fan the tailgate of his 1974 Pontiac wagon. The glass slides into the roof, the gate drops below bumper level. The Blue Whale of the school is a red 1976 Buick Estate Wagon, coming in at 19 feet and almost 4 inches, weighing 5,115 pounds. It is the biggest Buick on record. Picked up for $1,000 in 2011, it had a Buick 455 under the hood. Kuszmaul sold the big engine in 2015 and the Buick sat until 2020, when he put another 350 in it. He claims 13-14 mpg, saying the mileage is decent because his cars have Quadrajet 4bbl. carburetors.
