I'm liable to be ostracized at the V8Buick board for typing this, but dang, those contours and moldings along the fenders and doors on the '68 and '69s are just wrong. I'm glad my parents got a '70 back in the day.

Yes, hideous is about the only word I can find. I understand some folks love them, they are different from the other GM A bodies. But that doesn't make it right.

The round side marker light indicates that to be a 68.
I think the vent windows have been removed. My brother has a 69 (his first car in 1978) and I like the lines of it, and the scarcity of those cars. (I would take it over a Chevelle anyday) |

Now that we are on Buicks
 Agree on the vent windows. They took the windshield frame hardware along with them.Girlfriend after high school had a 69 Skylark. Always did like the body style for some reason. Big sideswoops and curved ass end. Reminiscent of older styling. Buick was late to the muscle game for sure. All that changed with the restyling for 1970. They hit one out of the park with the 455 where performance is concerned. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
