The alloy wheels are the only thing I can think of that would make that much difference in weight.Some cars have different times in the quarter mile anyway.It would be interesting for somebody to run his car both ways to see if there is much of a difference.I put the chrome wheels on my car because I liked the looks.I believe just changing the chip would make more change in time.

I saw a Regal WE4 for sale on the internet and the person selling it said only 1547 were made.I think very few were made because the 1547 refered to all Regal t,s including the WE4.No numbers were available for sales of the the WE4 .Not only that ,but the WE4 was a bad deal compared to the GN whitch was only 279.00$ more & included chrome wheels,spoiler,GN badges & a much nicer interior.Thats why very few were sold.The final figures were GN-20193 Regal turbo-1547 LTD turbo- 5303 GNX- 547 total- 27590 turbos. I hope these figures are right,I got them from GM about 12 years ago. Buy the way,I bought 1987 Regal turbo no. 1 which was built Sept 16,1986 Norb

Architecture and Signage: Historic Buick Dealerships
GSTURBO replied to Centurion's topic in Buick - Photos and Videos
When I hired in at Buick,way back in the Fifties,it was at the two Buick factory owned branches in Flint.I spent some time at this one in downtown Flint but mostly at the east side store.Of course this picture was taken long before I was there.You can bareley see some older cars outside the window.These stores lasted until 1973 when the pressure from the independent dealers caused GM to close them.

2005 LaCrosse Has Potential To Make Buick #1 In Dependability Ra
GSTURBO replied to BUICK RACER's topic in Buick - General
I checked out the LaCROSSE at Patsy-Lou,s & I think it will be a good replacement for the Regal.However,if you put it in a lot with 50 other cars,unless you can see the grill,it looks just like all the others. I am looking at a three Ft. poster of it right now and it is a good looking car but it does not stand out from the rest like a Buick should.It has beautiful chrome wheels but they may be an extra cost option. I sure hope it sells though. Norb -
I cant tell if it is an A-body or B.is it a Wildcat ? Norb
-
If you have more money than me,bid on this,but hurry.2493265368 appears to be very nice.

The first one is about 54 ,I dont know what it was called.the next two are of a Buick Farina.I dont believe these survived. On the first car,note the hood scoops. Norb

I am going to try to place the picture with ivy vines behind the truck.It reminds me of the Dupont paint plant directly across the street from Buick 78.At that time they made all the paint for Buick & I can remember vines on it.How about Four cars to a truck,I saw some near Detroit yesterday with 12 cars.Not very small cars either.When I was a kid,I knew the two guys that owned commercial carriers & also the barge lines on the Mississipi river but they did not hardly know me.I played with their son.I will try to find some factory pics relevant to the time.

Matt Menges' Latest 1959 Buick -- a LeSabre Estate Wagon
GSTURBO replied to Centurion's topic in Buick - General
I dont think the lesabre had the rockers covered but the chrome roof rack was on the front of the roof & the mirror was closer to the cv window.I found a very faded pic of mine which I had when it was fairly new. Norb -

It was a 71

Mine was red with a white interior.I had it for many years.I will look for a picture.

Check this color.Mine was more red. Norb

I stopped at Patsy Lou`s today to check out the latest Buick, the Lacrosse.except for the Buick grill,it looked much like many other cars.It had a 3.6 engine.It was nicer inside.Firm seats.No window sticker yet. Norb
