Title: The Experimental 1965 430 Engine
Post by: Loren At 65GS on June 12, 2022, 03:07:08 PM
There is an article in this month Buick Club of America Bugle publication about the experimental 430. An interesting read for BCA members.
In case you missed it, it is in the June 2022 issue on page 30 and 31.

Interesting.  Any chance Dennis will bring it to the BCA Nationals?

Dear Loren, Chuck, Jim, and mid-60s Buick historians,

Thanks for sharing the reference Loren!  Indeed an interesting bit of history with an obvious hint of "what-if."  We can only ponder what a Buick Rivera might have looked like based on the Oldsmobile Toronado type of front wheel drive.

Cheers, Edouard

While we're pondering, here's an artist's concept of what a Buick Riviera might look like in today's world.  Not much carrried over, but I like the styling.
