Power windows all go up and down. Overall, this Buick runs and drives excellent and is very easy to drive, especially with the power steering and brakes. Very striking colors with excellent chrome and stainless.
Independent front suspension, coil springs front and rear, and rear sway control by radius makes this ride feel exactly as Buick's Ads states “You are “Up in the Clouds”.
Buick known to accelerate 0-60 mph in 11.2 sec,0-100 km/h in 11.8 sec and quarter mile time is 18.9 sec.
However, this car was not driven more than 55mph and has been kept stored under cover.
There are some touch up areas on the paint finish, and minor flaws present due to transport, but the car still displays very well. The door jams and hood interior was not repainted to demonstrate original colors.  Transmission Gasket does have a minor fluid seep.
