Hi, If you like this video, please click on SUPER THANKS ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou

Beautiful car - typical first rate GM styling of the 1960's! It amazes me how GM at that time could build vehicles that looked different from the same basic platform but abandoned that starting in the 1970's and completely by the 1980's and beyond. Beautiful color combination inside and out. Once again you found a jewel, Lou!

My Dad was a building contractor when he was a young man then became a General Manager of a Buick dealership and then a Ford, Lincoln, Mercury dealership.. This was during the early and mid sixties. He would bring home the sweatiest cars available at that time. I was in my early teens and allowed to walk through the dealership and get into all the cars. Great memories........thanks Dad

I don't think the paint companies even make acrylic lacquer anymore, which is what GM passenger cars were painted with all the way thru most of the 1980s. GM cars were acrylic lacquer and GM trucks were acrylic enamel. Urethane was becoming the popular new thing for automotive paint in the mid 80s. Paint companies like DuPont, PPG, Glasso were all coming out with urethane systems, and somewhere along the 90s all car makers started using basecoat/clearcoat urethane paint systems. You could still buy acrylic lacquer in OEM colors at the paint store all day long during the 90s, but eventually it started becoming scarce. One day circa 2004 I went to get some acrylic lacquer and they told me they no longer stocked it and could only get it by special order. Today they don't carry it at all.

@@dancerjim In the 60s acrylic lacquer was the latest thing, that's why GM called it "Magic Mirror Finish". Before that the common automotive paint was nitrocellulose lacquer, which is why cars from the 30s thru the 50s have a different look in the paint finish. GM used acrylic enamel on their trucks because it was a little tougher, and acrylic lacquer on the cars because it was a little prettier. Ford and Chrysler used only acrylic enamel on everything, cars and trucks. Today urethane paint has made all that obsolete. All car makers have embraced it because it has a lot of superior properties compared to the older paint types. If you have a classic car that needs paint work it can put you in a difficult situation if you want to keep the paint all OEM type, especially for spot repairs.

Funny Story: Back around 1979, my buddy had one of these exact cars with the 425. He was on a test drive with it, trying to sell it to another one of our friends. My friend told him, "Go ahead...PUNCH IT!!" so our buddy FLOORED IT. The car launched, spun the rear wheels, then TOOK OFF like a ROCKET... Then our friend says in a panic..."The gas pedal is STUCK!!" It was STUCK TO THE FLOOR!!! I was in the passenger seat, so I reached over and pulled it up, and unstuck it from the floor. Our friend who was driving then exclaimed "I WANT THIS CAR!!!" And so he bought it ON THE SPOT!!!. Best wishes to the owners of this gem of a car, I hope it stays in your family for another 58 years!!! Thanks for sharing, and for the memories!!! Best wishes, George B. from the Boston area!!!

My dad, who will be 91 on Monday, said that when he was at the dealership, the salesman gave him some extras for free: wire wheels, free, and a full tank of premium gasoline! I remember him racing his friend who had a '65 GTO. I can still see that race! Three months later, the Wildcat was stolen and never found.

Didn't have the 425, or the deluxe interior as this one has. Yet, mine was an "early build" ('Wildcat' script changed mid-year) like this one.

You know, I've been a numbers guy all my life. In fact, when I was a kid, I actually got a kick out of watching the odometer running on our cars, and it's so awesome that you and the Renshaws (and all the cacti) got to witness a literal MILEstone, break out the party favors and film it for everyone to see! Funny how some of the digits don't completely settle in right away (18:07). Seems to take a few more miles of travel before that happens! LOL! Lou, I think you've outdone yourself with this episode! One of your best yet! 18:56 Thank you, Grandma! Thank you, Anson, Milton and Lloyd! And thank you Lou! Cheers! Now...let's see if you can find a classic that's about to turn 100,000! ILL CYA later!

Not 10,000 miles 😮 just lost half it's value 😂. My parents loved our 67' Buick Skylark GS back in that era. He used to say that was my first brand new car I could afford to buy! He was a Buick Guy. Traded in our old 55' Buick special which was an oil drinker. But by the time 76' rolled around he wasn't happy with the powerplants Buick had to offer. Said the power was a bit to low for the era. I remember actually getting teary eyed with my twin sister when we were trading it in on a 76' Ford LTD 2 door landau. 400/2bbl. We were reminiscing on all the the places we had been with the Buick over the years! And after almost 50 years ago I can say they were really great years looking back. Great video I enjoyed the content. And I could tell the owner was proud to own it ❤
