Default Gorgeous!

And he does it again.

Sorry Grant that I’m late to the unveiling on this site, although you did make me aware of your New Fantastic find and that the Big Cat did arrive recently.

I’ve known Mr. Baber for maybe 40 +/- years and this guy has always had elite taste for all kinds of automobiles from the 60’s / 70’s.
He has that unique knack that enables him to find gems such as this ‘66 Wildcat.

The lower body color is Killer (Shadow Turquoise).
Plus the front fender lower ornament/moulding is awesome.

I Love this car!
I can picture this Buick parked just up the road from you in Nevada at a casino.

PS, I love the story on the letter “I” on the hood and how it came to be. LOL 😂

I just made sense of the word "Circle" on the old shop jacket. Looks like Robert, the original owner changed dealerships sometime after Kemp.

Pete, here's a photo of that NY Auto Show sign. The seller didn't send that and I can see why, it's rather large. It appears to be from the mid 70's to late 80's when Buick was using the Hawk logo.

Get first in line for first right of refusal when he gets it all detailed and gets bored with it and finds something else he has to have... Not picking on you Grant, I have been doing that for 30 years too. It "just happens"...

Talking

Yes, that seems to be the pattern with me. But this will be my last classic car, I promise. HaHa!
