That would actually be an A-body 1970 California emission (49 state was different), 1971-1972 all A-body, windshield washer bottle.  Overflow was on the passenger side of the car, this is mounted on the driver's side.

It's not an overflow but rather the windshield washer fluid reservoir as I stated above.  1970 California emission and all 1971-72 Buick A-Body.  It will not work as a radiator overflow reservoir.

I dunno. When I bought my 64 Riviera, it had (and still has, 40 years later) one of these (or something that looks an awful lot like it) attached to the drivers inner fender and used as an overflow reservoir.

That could be; I didn't say it was original or used for the intended purpose.  However, if one is looking for an add-on overflow reservoir that doesn't look out of place on a 45-50-year-old car, this may a viable option.  I don't see any obvious reason that it wouldn't work.

 

As for mine: I leave it because I'm too  lazy to take it off.  I can't remember if the car has ever boiled over in all the years I've had it.
