maybe2fast Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 I was pulling in to a supermarket, and as I am about to park the Reatta I spy am unusual paint job on an early W-body Regal. It is covered with 76 decals and BUICK decals with the GN symbol. I pulled with in 4 spaces of it and as I get closer it is a white Regal with a blue canvas top...kinda weird... I walk up to this car and fellaz! this fucker is a drop top!!!!!!!! I talked to the guy as he was walking up to it and said it has some Cutlass parts but the top is different. It was so prototype for GM, it was at the GM proving grounds and he purchased it 3 years ago. it was a pace car of some sort he said and had a 3800 LN3 in it "with alittle more hp" whatever that means. This guy was a loon, he was the craziest person I have ever had to talk to and I really didn't get to hear much about the car, just a bunch about how GM is out to get him and they won't listen to the employees. It had 4 bucket seats and blue interior. Digital dash and a GS grille. some ground effects now for the pictures...I snapped two before the guy saw me and then I discovered he was crazy and couldn't take anymore. Quote
DiscoStudd Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 Very bizarre, indeed! Did it have the "roll bar" like the Cutty Coverts had? Quote
Euro Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 haha thats pretty funny, theres a mid 90's Skylark GS around here thats black with 67 on the sides...all painted out like that Quote
Psych0matt Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 thats really kinda cool, except for the ugly stickers and junk Quote
White93z34 Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 very intresting, if you see it around again i'd love to see some better pictures. Quote
mfewtrail Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 Pretty neat. I'd like to see some better pictures of it as well. Quote
GP1138 Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 From your description of him, I demand a video of the guy. Crazy people make funny. Quote
Lee Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 The Regal had a model like that that has been called "The Presidential". It has a fake convertable top and (I believe) only came in white with lots of chrome. I've seen pics of the unstickered ones and they look terrible. This one actually looks kinda nice. Quote

Yep it's called the "Presidential"... they look horrific on the new Lacrosses and I don't really like it on this car much. However, it is different so I guess that is pretty cool. Quote

slick Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 I got a call about this at 11:45 pm on Saturday night LOL. It's pretty cool though. Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 I'd love to have that car.... of course the first thing I'd be doing is whipping out the heat gun to get rid of the stickers ASAP. Then maybe get it repainted if needed... The Regal had a model like that that has been called "The Presidential". It has a fake convertable top and (I believe) only came in white with lots of chrome.

"Presidential" Lacross??? Links/pics?? I think we have 2 out on the lot; black and silver. If they're still there I'll take pictures. I honestly am not up to date with any Buick information, but I'm sure you can find something on them at the Buick website. I really am not sure if they are called the "Presidential" but I'll get more info tomorrow so you aren't left hanging. Quote
maybe2fast Posted April 13, 2006 Author Report Posted April 13, 2006 I am surprised that I have never seen that thing before Quote
