My dad was a Buick fan.
I'd like to have a GS and a nice Riviera.

Watching Dazed an Confused right now. How appropriate.

The Rivera was definitely a cruiser and still has a following. My dad had a Wildcat that I would have loved to gotten my hands on.

I sure will. Like everything today, he is working with a tight budget on it. Fortunately, parts aren't that hard to find.

I love a muscle car but if you haven't had the experience, you should drive or ride in one in a big 30's Chrysler, Cadillac or Buick. The picture below is of our 32 Buick Model 90 - which is one of the few Buick Classics. The straight 8 motor is incredibly smooth, and the car will get up and go surprisingly well. The big sumptuous upholstery is really different than what you find in modern cars. The leg room is incredible.

Straight 8? Damn, that's a lot of car and a beautiful one at that.

I always heard the Buick design team back then was kind of a renegade group that always had the GM Brass wondering what the heck they were going to try and pull off next.

Never drove one, but I always admired the looks of the Porsche 928.

1938 Buick Streamliner concept car:
1951 LeSabre concept car:
I had hoped, back in 2000, that they would build the Blackhawk concept car in regular production:

Did they ever and in the early 70's green was one of their biggest sellers. By 74 most people (and GM) had finally come to their senses and moved on.
Including the Pontiac Tempest? Was it available in Metallic Mint Green?
But, my dad has a '66 Mustang we'd love to restore. He's had it for years, but we restored a '77 Ford Pickup for me in HS and never got a chance to work on the Mustang. So I've always had a thing for mustangs. Would love a '67 Fastback.

The early jet fighter influence is strong in the LeSabre

You have that jet intake nose, and a lot of the early British fighters had the twin tailfin look.
