I have the single tone champagne version, and I love it. I prefer the single tone and color, but both are terrific.


Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Yes, it is a gorgeous model. I love the look of the black top.

Yes, vinyl tops were all the rage back in 1967!

The Wildcat was an interesting animal in those years. It shared the LeSabre's styling, but the Electra's longer wheelbase. I never quite understood that.

Maybe i'm wrong but the roof on this one looks the same texture than the roof on my 1959 Desoto Adventurer? Here are some Buick Wildcat detailled and painted by John Roberts.

I remember seeing the metallic copper and lime J.R. special Wildcats some years ago and wanting them so much, yet there being other priorities!  So it's good to see them here as they look just as fantastic now.
