Chris,

How about this idea; I know it was initially discussed that it would be 65 Skylark GSs (GSes?) but what about including the 65 GS Rivieras and Wildcats? These are the cars illustrated in the "The New Buick Sizzlers" brochure.

Maybe that is the year to get the BPG to feature the
'65  GS like they are doing for the GSX this year.

Kinda like the "Sizzlers" idea . Good one Mark.
First year for the GS in both the Riv and Skylark.
Don't remember for sure, Was the Wildcat a one year only GS in '66?

Loren.... yes, Wildcat GS was a 66-only option package.
Ted....Great idea on having the BPG feature the 65 on the 50th anniversary! That would be a start to featuring each model year for their respective 50th aniv!
Mark...it's always nice to see the other 65 models, they're all pretty cool. The last few years I've had more interest seeing the 'cats, Riv's and 225's....If they weren't so darn long, I would like to add some to my garage!

I'll be posting some more 66 GS pics if you guys don't mind. I've always felt the 66 had more in common with the 65 GS than it did the 67 GS. Guess it due to the fact the 65 and 66 shared the same heart and soul of the Nailhead.

Ok guys.. I'll tell you what I'll do for now   ;D

I'm creating a area in the Gallery for all other Buick's. 

Please register and upload away!

After I get the 65 portion of the site completed, we can take a look in the Gallery section and see what car is next based upon the amount of information uploaded.

Sound like a plan?

Okay Chris! So if I 'stuff the ballot box',so to speak, with 66 GS pics.... I guess that means you'll eventually make a section for the 66 GS! ;D ;D
