I like this picture a lot. Skywagon pulling a Saturn V!
Did Buick offer the 400 engine in 68-69 SportWagons like Oldsmobile did with the Vista Cruiser?
Truth be told the 68-9 Olds 400 was probably better suited to station wagon duty than 442 duty.
Yes, Buick did offer the 400 in the SportWagon too.

The Dodge must have had Fluid Drive...

I believe Adam mentions it briefly but he is using JaxWax products. I have JaxWax ceramic coating on all of the show cars, my daily drivers, etc. even my 1985 GMC tilt-rollback with a 455 Stage 1 engine. You will find nothing better, I promise.

Pictures are worth a 1000 words but I am positive positraction was available for GS's in 1967.

Your memory is not failing you, Chris. Last year for factory duals was 1974, I believe.

My standard 64 Riviera is a January car, so a very early 64, and it has rally wheels, which I always thought came with the car when it was purchased in 64.
Not an early car at all. Production started usually in the July-August time frame so your car is mid model year, not early.

Good job Chris! I'm sure Jamie's family is happy.

Oh, I like gold too. In fact, my '72 Electra Custom 2 door is Champaign Gold, a most beautiful color.

I only say that because I have a '99 Ultra in Pearl White. It really is beautiful and only 50,000 miles.

Both great looking cars. I assume the 81 is a turbo? GN in sheeps clothing? Hope you get what your looking for.
Not to answer for Alan, but normally aspirated V6. No Turbo.

A little (ok, a lot) of cleaning would go a long way. Does not present well at all.

Actually, both vehicles are real pace cars, you can tell by the modified roof treatment. Only the pace car and it's backup received that modification. The amber light bar was removable, the hood is dark maple for both photos (glare hides the red in the first photo). The door graphics were 3M reflective decals that looked gold/yellow at certain angles and light.

Noticed those. Makes for an interesting car. 09E build date is 5th week September 1966.
I think that BA probably indicates the Buick City assembly plant in Flint as Baltimore Assembly was primarily a Chevrolet plant, and built only A-body Buicks. Can't find any info they built full-size Buicks. Look for a B in the Wildcat's VIN which indicates Baltimore. Buick City is H.
BA is not Buick City, a term which didn't come into being until the 80's. BA is, in fact, Baltimore, MD while Flint is FL1

People blindly thinking that all BOP engines are the same, and since Olds had the Rocket name, it stuck in peoples' heads. Grooooooan.
Oh, I know. Still hate it.

Why are they always "Rockets"? I hate that.

Those look to be aftermarket to me. Many times, folks would install belts after the fact. My first Buick, a 1964 Electra, was not ordered with belts from the factory. When it became my car, my parents installed aftermarket belts. I believe they were Sears brand.

I LOVE your '56!! I came home from the hospital in my mom's '56 Super in the same color scheme but in 2dr version. That brought back memories. Thank you!!

I'm sorry, but in business $300,000 is a drop in the bucket. Hold out for more, boys.

Hawaiian Orchid was a color that was used for New Car Show Cars at various shows around the country, much like the special Pearl White my GSX was painted in the day. It as never to be a production color as way too many blends of color (my own has at LEAST 12 different layers of paint. Talk about difficult to duplicate!!).
