Worked on the Gran Sport Friday night in an attempt to make it to a car show that one of my son's friend was putting on.  Found some interesting things.  The Car kept loosing Brake fluid.  so I rebuilt the rear brakes.  Fronts were already done.  Rears look to be all original, with all the hardware painted.  I found a paper tag on the drivers side frame rail above the axle.  I also found reminisce of the greenish tag on the axle tube.

Buffed the sides of the car a little  before the show happy with the way it looks just with I had time to work on it more, as I have floor pans for it now.  the last picture is of my son's74 J-10 siting next to the Gran Sport at the show.

Dear 455pev, Chuck, and mid-60s Buick lovers,  :love4:

Thanks for sharing your information and photos!  :thumbsup:  I like that way you "staged" the engine bay with manuals and other literature.  It is a neat way add interest to the car.

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:
