bhambulldog Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) I remember that show, looks like they also used Oldsmobiles. Have any of those Buicks survived?Highway Patrol TV show used Olds, Mercury , and '57 Buicks. They only had the two '55 Buick Centuries. And they were prominently featured in the show's introduction for each episode. I've read of one surviving that is purported to be an original model 68 (Century)There are are at least a few Special model 48, modified to be model 68 (as I suspect the color photo I posted is) Edited August 7, 2014 by bhambulldog original (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
