7 Buick "Muscle Cars" Article 1960s-1990s

[NTX5467]

Over at www.hotrod.com (which is how I entered the MotorTrend portal), scrolling down the page reveals an article "7 Buick Muscle Cars You Should Know!".  A pretty good read, ranging from the 215 aluminum V-8 of 1961 and ending with the Buick Roadmasters of the middle 1990s.  In the case of the 215 V-8 cars, they tended to be somewhat underappreciated as the trend was toward larger engines, but that little 215 V-8 went on to power generations of Rover vehicles as time progressed, for example.

 

The new-for-1964 GM Intermediate platform allowed the "large engine in a smaller body" orientation to take hold, which brought us several generations of performance luxury vehicles.  NOT to forget the larger Riviera models, either!

 

The article ends with the 1994-1996 Roadmasters.  Mating a LT1 engine with the larger platform body, then enhanced with the Trailer Towing Package would get close to the desired Impala SS in general performance at a very good price.  "Incognito" performance with Buick Luxury.
