The Buick Wildcat - Photo Comparison

Buick has touted their 2010 concept Buick Wildcat as “the integral part of Buick’s renaissance plan, an excellent selling, high profit model in the Buick lineup.” But how does it compare to the original designs? Not very well in the the opinions of classic car lovers. With today’s world of fuel-efficiency and aerodynamics, purchasing a right-angled car with a V8 engine is far from responsible car shopping. However, back in 1954 (or even ‘64) you were sure to catch a glimpse of interest as you tore up the highway in a Wildcat or Wildcat II convertible.
