New Buick reference website
« on: January 01, 2017, 12:38:59 PM »
Hello all Buick GS fans,

I started a website that has some info on my Buicks. More importantly I have about 12 years worth of Buick Color and Trim Books as well as Features & Facts books. I have scanned about half of the books and uploaded them to my website. I will post updates here as I add more scans. The website can be found here:

http://gransportstage1.com/

The 1965 Features and Facts book has a special section on the new Gran Sport. I will try and scan the 1965 Color and Trim book next.

The Color and Trim books and Features & Facts books can be found here:

http://gransportstage1.com/buick-sales-literature/

These books are quite large and each page has to be scanned by hand on a large format scanner. in 1966 and 1967 the paint sections had plastic transparencies for each model that could be overlaid onto the paint samples so you could see what that model looked like in your chosen color. I have scanned a variety of color/model combinations for those years. This all takes a lot of time, I will upload more scans as I have time. I have all of the books listed, I have only scanned and uploaded the ones with active links on the Buick Sales Literature web page.

Let me know if you have any trouble accessing anything. The website was just published today for the first time.

Awesome job, great info.  It looks like it took a lot of work. 

Your 65 looks very similar to mine.
