1970 Buick GS Stage 1. This is an Ertl so the quality is no where near GMP, Lane Exact Detail or Highway 61 but Buick does not get a lot of love. I included a few photos with the 1970 Buick GS 455 convertible as well. While Ertl did a better job on the convertible they did not seem to pull off the same execution with the hard top version.Â
You're correct about that being a so-so replica AND the fact that Buick muscle cars do tend to get lost in the sauce. Few seem to care much about many of them. Nice pics though! 😎Â

They both look really good and, of course, they are Buicks ! I have a hardtop white 1/18 Ertl "Body Shop"Â 1970 Buick GS-X and it is also a terrific replica of this powerful muscle car.
Yes, what a treat! Although, I miss the truly all white interiors of the 1950's. That is, when all white was specified, luxury makes would offer a light gray dash, steering wheel, etc..  In the '60's, most every manufacture offered only a black dash & steering when all white was ordered. I hated the black dash & steering wheel in my '68 Buick Skylark convertible but loved the all white interior.
The first time I ever saw a 1975 Buick/Pontiac with those mis-matched interior door panels & white seats, I honestly thought some ******* really screwed up that car! I was shocked to learn it was all factory-correct. 🙄 🙄 🙄Â
White interiors are rare on 1/18 models. Glad to see one here.Â
I don't ever remember seeing any white dashboards.Â
I never saw white dashboards either. As I noted, the "lightest"Â I could ever find, when all-white interiors were specified, was light gray. As seen here on this 1959 Cadillac Eldorado convertible.
