Funny you should say that. My grandfather always had a Buick and when I was 16 I bought his 68 Wildcat coupe. This is the car that got me interested in Buicks. It had a 455 and it could smoke the tires for what seemed like days ! I also remember a little car lot in Milwaukee that had a used 70 GS 455 for $1995 ! Itried to talk my mom into buying it, but no go. A couple of monthes later I found a lot that had a 71 Riv, triple black with buckets and console and a factory sunroof ! Very rare car. Tried mom again and almost had her, but again no go.
