Congratulations ! If the rest of the car is as sanitary as your front suspension I can see why you won!
Would like more pictures if you have them.

As everyone else as said - Congratulations!   :hello2:

Sure is great when a "mature" Buick gets the respect it deserves!  :icon_thumright:

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Yes, it was amazing, next to me was a 65 GTO, (which I help restore) and there was another 65 GTO across the street. Lot of Muscle cars, heard a lot of stories and had several people looking very closely at the car.  Most comments were, "You don't see cars like this anymore", or "This is a Buick?"  Anyway, it did feel good to get recognized. This makes the 4th award for the GS.

Hi, great looking gs. I agree that the most common remarks about the gs is "you don't see these anymore". The other comment is that its a Buick! kinda like the new Buick ads on tv.
