Thanks for posting the pics, John. And I meant to write GS 455, not

GS 400. My bad. Sorry for the ID error.

The more I look at these two convertibles, the more I think I need to get the silver hardtop as well!

I've seen the Silver HT, it's a beautiful model.

Those two and the other two Buick GS models are outstanding.

I had reservations about the silver hardtop when I saw photos of it. So drab. But in hand, the color on that model just pops. Glad I got it.

It's a shame they don't have rear view mirrors and a few other details.

Take a look at this old Neo. This is the level of detail a handbuilt should have when the asking price is $200+.

I’m not sure why Brooklin included a GSX emblem on the front fender of the yellow model. Should be located on the rear fender. Only the GS cars had side emblems on the front fender. Perhaps the Brooklin bodies already had holes pre-drilled on the front fender.

Thanks John and Rick. I have all of these Buicks and agree with Rick's comments.

We had a 1:1 1970 GS455 in the hardtop version.

We also had other muscle cars from the era, and that Buick was the definite champion. The Buick had a major advantage in the intake flow of the heads.
