Dear friends,
I have just got the first prototypes of 1971 Buiks.
Still improvements to be made and wheels are not from this car.

Love the color choices!

....still looks pretty good though, don't forget to remove those 1/24 rear-view mirrors. 😉 😉 😉 This will be an excellent addition to many collections. 😎

They look good and will find one in my collection.

Very nice one ! A beautiful replica of the good-looking 1971 full-size Buick and the colors are really nice here, too.

Nice looking model samples. Good to see the 4-door enthusiasts comments getting addressed again as was done with the 67 Pontiac. Variety is good for our hobby for sure. I personally will quietly wait for a 2dr, HT and-or convertible possibly down the line?? My good friend had a black on black '72 Buick Centurion convertible with the 455 in 1975; my god what a lovely ride it was! It had the black fiberglass boot to finish it off.

You'll be waiting forever for a 1971 Buick Electra convertible..... GM never made one. 😔 😔 😔
Personally, I'm glad to see so many 4-dr models; I hate 4-dr 1:1s but love to see 4-doors in scale. 😀 😀
Jack, your friend's '72 Centurion convertible with "parade boot" sounds terrific. I came close to buying one of those a few times but never pulled the trigger.
