A fine example of “The Hottest Buick in History” as period brochures proudly proclaim
Tastefully finished in a Tapioca Yellow and White duotone over custom white leather, complemented by a black canvas convertible top
Treated to a body-off restoration by Gasoline Alley Customs and according to the consignor the highlights of the work include: all new glass throughout, new brake and fuel lines, custom leather parade boot, refreshed stainless steel brightwork, and a reupholstered interior
Under the hood is a 264 Cubic Inch "Nailhead" V8 equipped with a single two-barrel carburetor producing 188-hp, mated to a Dynaflow automatic transmission
It rides on wide whitewall radial tires and its original 40 spoke wire wheels
The interior is equipped with custom Dolphin instrumentation as well as an AM/FM converted radio
Cherished by the previous owner for 25 years, enjoying dutiful maintenance and driven sparingly
Displaying only 13,523 miles at the time of cataloging
