I get a little tired of auto companies — GM is the worst — trotting out concept cars that will never be built.

First off, while the concept looks OK, that doesn’t evoke memories of the Wildcat, “retro” or otherwise. The ’67 model is probably the quintessential design, the model that oozed “Buick” and screamed of Wildcatness. What’s with that tapered rear window? That looks more like a Riviera to me. And that front grill area is just wrong.

Nextly, GM will let Buick release a truly high-powered Wildcat — a Wildcat that’s true to its muscle-car tradition — the same day that pigs sprout wings and soar with the eagles.

Never gonna happen. GM mismanagement has gone from bad to worse. The first signs, I think, were when they discontinued the Grand National and Turbo Regal models in the late 80′s; I heard that was largely due to whining from Corvette development, not wanting to have an intra-corporation rival. Wotta load of crud. The Regals were sedans, for one thing, and catered to entirely different tastes. The power-plant dynamic was different too.

A company that is forced to do away with iconic brands such as Pontiac and Olds has clearly lost its way.

I own a 1967 Buick LeSabre 340-4 4Dr. Hardtop has a pretty solid body, but needs some work. Intentions were to restore but strapped for cash now,….so if anyone is interested in such vehicle for a restoration project “it is worth it” needs a harmonic balancer, and the timing set correctly and she will hum. By the WAY

Hi GM, What crappy looking cars. Go back and study what you created in 1959. Ted.
