The GLM Models 1941 Buick Roadmaster convertible 76C in Yellow (GLM 107802) and the Stamp Models 1976 Buick Electra 225 Limited coupe (STM763003) in Black.
Both of these are GM C-bodies. General Motors started sharing common bodies across their (then) six divisions in 1937. Most Cadillacs used the C-body. As did the upper model Buicks and Oldsmobiles.
This ’76 Electra coupe is a new release by Stamp. The two other available colors (Blue and Red) have White interiors. Note that Stamp added the correct chrome front fender lamp monitors to the new coupe.
My Roadmaster is number 72 of an edition of 199. My Electra is number 2 of an edition of 199.
I purchased both of these models from Dave Gilbert at toycargeek.com (Dave’s Facebook page is: toycargeek his eBay ID is: toycargeek).
For comparison, I’ve photographed the Electra coupe with my GLM ’76 Electra four-door hardtop (GLM 107201) in Red and NEO ’76 Cadillac Coupe De Ville (NEO44415) in Brown. And the Roadmaster with the GLM ’41 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe.

Outstanding pictures of superb models. I have the 41 Roadmaster in black open top and it is by far the best accurate model of a 41 Buick you can find. in 1/43 scale. I also have the GLM 41 Cadillac as convertible sedan and and coupe convertible.

Very classy models and well photographed. Goldvargs new 1976 Olds 98 Regency would make a great addition. There is also a 1976 Chevrolet Caprice 4 dr htp that I have seen but I don't think the build quality can hold a candle to the GLMs. The only other GM '76 is the Pontiac and to my knowledge is only available in 1/43 as a Safari station wagon (Neo).

An outstanding selection of model. The '41 Buick is one of my top 10 favorite models. The Buick along with the '41 Cadillac model you've shown are among the best available.
As far as the '76 Buick model recently offered, they are nice. I added all three colors. They look great with the 4dr.

They look fantastic, John, and I subscribe to your philosophy - there's no such thing as "too many Buicks" in one's collection!

This interesting looking Catalina in on the Goldvarg Collection Facebook page.
I couldn't find it on their website.

An excellent post, John. Your good pictures of the two '41 models demonstrate very well your comments on GM's body sharing. I feel that GM tended to differentiate better between their various lines than Chrysler. Even Ford at times, using the same basic bodies for Ford and Mercury, did less to distinguish their two, even when the two were Lincoln and Mercury. Keep 'em coming!

You bet! I also have these two NEO LeSabre's:
I've successfully avoided the Estate Wagon (so far). I know myself. That purchase would only start the slippery slope to more wagons.
I have some Riviera's and a couple of Western Buicks but they're packed away. I recently purchased three Danbury Mint 10-car (1/24th scale) display cases for the rest of my 1/43rd. I haven't yet decided where to mount them. I already have one of these DM cases here in my office for all of my 1/43rd Cadillacs. I need to post some photos. I got lucky and found the three cases locally at a good price via Facebook marketplace.

Every GLM model I have is a home run. The attention to detail and execution are 100% correct.

Here's a Buick model that isn't seen too often.
And another.
One more.
