  5. Many prices across all represented market sectors were exceptionally high at Mecum Kissimmee 2022. It will be interesting to see if this holds as we head into the auction year.
  6. Thoughts? https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/5f007416-3f89-4f69-8edb-abc60b84ccc3/
  7. I like all Impalas, but that's just weird. Kind of like you see some mid-year Corvettes with three tail lamps a side. Looks nicely done, though.
  8. Yes. Also, it sounds you have a really cool GS.
  9. This raises (at least) two questions: 1) Why did Buick keep selling such an unsuccessful and problematic option for all those years and across multiple generations? 2) When did the automatic AC become "safe" to order? Was it in 1977 with the move to the B-body?
  10. Wow! Maybe an article in the Riview someday? Here's what I have so far:
  11. The half at the front, half at the back rule usually stands—and it did here. What happens at BaT (because of the "magic" two minute extensions every time someone bids) is that the endgame is very compressed.
  12. Another happy customer, also in digital form—I purchased all four offerings. Thank you, Jim.
  13. Another first-generation Riviera (this one a 1964) on Bring a Trailer: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1964-buick-riviera-23/ Wedgewood Blue with white vinyl interior.
  14. Just about everything is going through the roof … especially if it is 1970s or newer.
