I apologize for the poor quality of this advertisement I quickly imaged from one of my automobile ad paperback books. It shows a period print ad for the great-looking Buick Skylark for 1963. It could be obtained with an all-aluminium V-8 motor that I believe the rights to may have later been sold to Rover in Great Britain.
Anyway, looks cool and would make a fine replica in any scale. Later midsized Buicks would go on to even greater things.

If anyone is interested, here is the story of how the Buick aluminium V8 ended up in the hands of Rover/British Leyland

Excellent comprehensive account of the GM aluminum V8 and its success with Rover and many others. Quite a story. Thanks Graeme.
