Fast Friday: Flint's Fun Rides

Our Fast Friday Flint edition will bring you some pretty cool Buicks we encountered in Buick Town during the week. It isn't exhaustive, and there re still more cruise nights to come and they make yield some special cars as well, but here's a mid week sampler of what we have seen in the home of Buick Motor Division so far. The list includes the final GNX produced (on display at the Sloan Museum along with a GNX engine), a great 1965 Special Deluxe with Cragar wheels which looks a lot like our '65 Reynolds Buick racer, a 1972 Buick Riviera boattail , a gorgeous low mile '86 Intercooled Grand National and a rarely seen '68 Skylark Coupe, which had the same body as our '68 Reynolds Buick GS.

So please enjoy some sweet Buicks from Buick Town:

Beautiful Buicks

Last week our correspondent was traveling up to San Luis Obispo for a classic car show so we asked him to take some pictures of any cool Buicks that he encountered.

He was showing a classic 1972 Riviera, a low mileage beauty still sporting Reynolds frames. It was renowned for its dramatic boattail styling, and he reports that the car was trouble free throughout the 650 mile journey. Along the way, he encountered a number of beautiful Buicks including a 1957 Special hardtop in black, a white 1955 Century which had been purchased new by the owner's uncle, a sleek razor sharp 1965 Riviera in a dramatic deep blue, a 1958 Special in shades of blue, and a pair of gorgeous 1965 Wildcats to dream about- a convertible in bright red and a coupe in aqua and white- both loaded with bucket seats, floor shifts and lots of accessories. So take a moment and look at some of the beautiful Buicks.
