Still waiting on the ‘74 I ordered. All these are from eBay.
Century GS455. I will have one someday.
So damned solid-feeling. I will have a ‘73 Riviera GS someday as well.
And the sportiest of the big Buicks... the ‘73 Centurion.
‘83 Skyhawk T-Type with an ‘89 Reatta poking out.
1989 Skyhawk S/E. Last of the manual transmission Buicks until the 2011 Regal. Love the hidden headlights!
It’s a shitbox, but I still like it.
These are what dealer computers looked like in 1987.
1983 Regal wagon. Only one of two years the Regal name was offered on a wagon.
The year I was born.

I love brochures! Those look great!
Here’s a little more information on the EPIC :
Buick’s Electronic Product Information Center (EPIC) has an IBM AT computer with software by GM’s EDS subsidiary. Installed in 342 of Buick’s 3,000 dealerships, EPIC compares Buick models and features with other makes and figures the costs of Buick cars under various financing options. It does not supply competitors’ prices. The company has tried out EPIC kiosks in malls in Miami and Dallas and is deciding whether to expand into more shopping centers. Chevrolet is reaching computer users by offering product information on a ‘’Chevy Tech’’ diskette. The company charges $3 for shipping and says it has sent out 13,000 diskettes since December.

The year you were born, the year I graduated from high school. One of these days I’ll have to get the brochures for my Camaro. I can see what they looked like over on nastyz28.com but that’s not the same.

I’m a huge fan of GM Collonade cars but the early Buicks were the frumpiest looking ones of the litter. (They were the best performers though)
That 83 Skyhawk T Type? I’d do dirty things to find one of those in a “barn”!

Gosh, that reminds me of the colossal fustercluck that was the EDS takeover. Fuck Roger B.

Yeah, I actually liked the Buicks best. The Pontiacs look oddest to me. I had a ‘76 Century wagon for awhile, too. Loved that thing.
And that Buick 455 Stage 1 was a thunderous engine.

One of the best titles I’ve read in a while. Well done sir.
