Dave Gelinas (XP-300) Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) 1964 Buick Wildcat Sprint - Concept Show Car.Very little is known about the 1964 Buick Wildcat Sprint. It had rectangle headlights, a special red pearlescent paint job, a custom parade boot, and the bright work had red inlays as opposed to the black inlays on the production model Wildcat. The three "vent ports" were also a forecast to what the 1965 Wildcat "vent ports" would look like.

Guest Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) I went to a Buick-Olds-Pontiac car show last Sunday in Scottsdale AZ last week-end. In the Buick section I came upon a car that looked just like this; The car was stunning, however the owner/ builder of the car said to me that when he was a kid he dreamed of owning the Wildcat so much so that he re-created the car himself. I thought it was the real deal, however the owner assured me he built it from scratch. Edited April 2, 2015 by helfen (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 That 64 Wildcat Sport also has what would become the 65 Electra cast side trims. I do like the color. To Helfen, that fellow brought that home made Wildcat to the South Bend National. It is an awesome creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Ahhhh, how sweet it is.... Note the framed vent window. The earlier in the year models had frameless with no control handle which I think looked "cleaner". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) To clarify, the picture of the clown is not me. It came up as I was looking through old files and reminded me of the upcoming show and cruise season and how some people pose by cars. I don't clean up that good, I am generally cynical and opinionated. And, if you get close enough to get a good look in my eyes, you might become quite wary and back away slowly like the Rottweiler did.This is me without my shillelagh.

Marty Roth Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Speaking of Clowns.....Several years ago at a local AACA club show in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, raising donations for the Ronald McDonald House in New Orleans, my then 4-year-old grandson won the 27" 21-speed Dr. Pepper special edition bicycle and was awarded the grand prize by none other than Ronald McDonald. I wish I still had the photo of my grandson on the bike along with "Ronald", one hand on Nathan, the other arm on the driver's window sill and that huge shoe on the running board of the 1934 Buick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JZRIV Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 A friend found this pic in National Geographic. Check out the size of the travel trailer hooked to the old tank. 42'!!! Pretty impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michel88 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 The trailer in National Geographic reminded me of the one in "The Long Long Trailer" with Lucy. They had a '53 Mercury convertible to pull it, but it became a '53 Lincoln when they were driving it up the Sierra Nevada mountains. It was similar and I wonder how many viewing the movie noticed?

Bleach Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I wanted to say the same thing about the movie and how that trailer reminded me of it but I never noticed that a Lincoln was used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
