That is a GM B body, 1st generation. Major face lift in 1991 IIRC.
Last built in 1996. Full framed, V8, 6 or 9 passengers, RWD. . Came as
a 2 dr, 4 dr or wagon. Sold as Chevys, Pontiac, Olds, Buick & Cadillac.
They all look near the same. I had 4 of them over the years.
The last REAL cars GM made. Known for long life, low cost & ease of
repairs. They get up to 25 MPG on the highway. Not bad considering
the size ( over 2 tons ) & vesitility.
BTW that may be a diesel, a disaster......

"Google" Maps took some pictures of it in 2011: https://www.google.com/maps/@44.4360824,26.0887867,3a,37.5y,137.9h,58.9t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sJZj-iMD8NAtUh8HEwi-WPQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?entry=ttu

When I was a kid on my block* there was a neighbor with that exact station wagon with brown paint and that wood grain he was a widower with a golden retriever as his only family...Those wagons were still every where in the 90s but have gradually gotten a LOT less common.
My grandma had a similar Oldsmobile 4dr sedan for a number of years...I think she side swiped a hydrant or something and when it started rusting traded it for a 90s Buick same as a neighbor had.

*I lived on a street that was on an oval park that we called the circle because it didn't have a posted name (it was all green space) the neighbor lived on the road that forked and looped around the other 2/3 the circumference of the park and intersected my road near the ends of my block.

A great video on Chevy wagons. A few mistakes but good. I had a 67 Impala once.
