The 1967 Buick Wildcat convertible. Very nice.

1972 Skylark. Notice the tear drop bulges on fenders.

1971 Buick GS convertible with whitewalls.

I always liked the '89 Buick Regal GS, especially in black. Here is an ad of the era.

I like raised whites far better than whitewalls, wide whites are fine but not on these style of cars, maybe that 67 Wildcat would look good with some ganster whites Speaking of that 67 Wildcat, thats just awsome, look at that grill area. I beleive Buick just "nailed" it in 66-67-68-69. then the slow slide down the great mountain of styling began, within a decade the change would be unspeakable.

Whitewalls look good on the GS, and the white interior is beautiful (always liked white interiors). When I was 8 years old, my family was going to Disney World, and I bought a magazine (I think it was Automobile) at the Philadelphia International Airport that had that Regal ad in it. I still have that magazine somewhere. I also miss that red interior. GM, if you're listening, bring the red interior back!

Yes, the white interior always said 'special' to me....it could make ordinary cars look extraodinary. And yes, please GM bring back red interiors. Richly colored interiors give a sense of luxury. You don't even need leather.

Even the dash and steering wheel are white in this '62 Wildcat. It's one of my favorite interiors, love the consul and dash, the deepdish wheel....

Here's a handsome '63 Wildcat. This year is not talked about much and there don't seem to be alot of them around. I like it.

I hadn't thought of that before but that '66 Riv has a similar profile to the Camaro only on a bigger scale.

You just now thought of that? I felt that way when I was a kid. I even thought the 71 was similar to the second-gen f-body.

Our 89 NYer came with twin strip whites, they were interesting too. I still have my Grandfathers 82 NYer and it has a fairly wide white wall, not really gansters but pretty wide, it looks great makes it stand out as being a little different. I think todays standard narrow white walls are to undecided, shy and ashamed to be what they are whitewalls :-) I dont get the redline thing at all, if the cars not the right color, I dont know, I just dont get them. I also for some reason dont remember them. Probably most of the cars I remember from back then were the ones that guys had modified with Cragars, ect., raised white "Wide Oval" tires and jacked up rear ends. Kinda like the pre ricer age. In school you dont pay attention to the regular stock new owner cars. Just the really "cool" ones. LOL Oh well I would go back in a heartbeat.

That tan color should stay nice for decades.

I have always liked these Buick LeSabre coupes. I think this is an '89.

[HarleyEarl]

GM1 that is a very nice 98.....very sharp example of that car.

[HarleyEarl]

This 1940 Buick Super convertible is very sexy. It has a Hollywood look to it...like a celebrity would drive it in it's day.

Sorry, Harley, but that's a Riviera Limited, not a LeSabre.

LeSabre was the lowest of the three newly-named '59 Buicks (Electra and Invicta being the other two), which also marks its first year as a car.

Thanks for the correction. I'm so lame. When I was putting the little tribute together, I intended to put in the '59...but first I googled '58 LeSabre just to doublecheck my facts......but got '58 on my mind and spliced in the wrong pic. It is indeed the '59.

[HarleyEarl]

The end of the line. Goodbye LeSabre.

[HarleyEarl]

Rumor has it that there will be a 2006 LeSabre as the Lucerne comes on the market. Hanging on for dear life.

[HarleyEarl]

The '53 Buick is my favourite Woodie.

[balthazar]

I remember the twin stripe whitewalls!

Anyone remember triple-stripe whitewalls?

Not sure if or on what they may have came- I associate them more with replacement tires, but I've seen them now & again in the past. I like 'em, tho I have nothing they'd be appropriate on.

[HarleyEarl]

WildJoe..I agree....that was a very nice Buick.
