While visiting my aunt and uncle in Boise last summer, I found a smattering of alive-and-kicking vintage iron across the city. Continuing a series that will be started up again this fall, is this lovely Buick. While not a GS400, or a Wildcat, this big, bronze/gold four-door is something to behold.
The factory-correct golden hue is set off nicely by the vinyl top, or landaus as they were often called in the 1970s and 1980. Interestingly enough, this example doesn't appear to be weathered, yet it doesn't appear to have been touched, either. Could this be a true daily-driven one owner classic? It appears as though it might be.
The interior was in the same state as the body; not overly clean, but not in a state of disarray either, as if someone stole this Buick Special from the background of a movie circa 1970 and brought it here. The wood on the dash was correct, the seats showed nary a tear, the speedometer was clean, and the speedo glass wasn't fogged up. I reckon this car is a true "time capsule" so to speak. And it needs to stay that way.
