While Chevrolet may have dominated GM’s muscle-car lineup in the ’60s, those who wanted something more sophisticated would likely have considered the Buick brand an excellent option. The Gran Sport line was designed to rekindle memories of Buicks of old, which often featured large-capacity straight-eight engines. These cars offered powerful, fun-to-drive, yet prestigious options to those who could afford them. The Gran Sport of 1968 was based on the Buick Skylark. Our featured car is reportedly a restomod based on the Buick G/S 350. It features a 350ci V8 engine, as well as an automatic transmission.
One of the first American marquees was Buick when it was established in 1899 by David Dunbar Buick. General Motors was established in 1908 thanks to Buicks popularity. Later, Buick became GM’s premium brand targeting the wealthy of North America. The only marquee above Buick was the upscale luxury brand Cadillac. As of today, Buick’s largest market is China, with almost 80% of sales originating from there. In 1965 Buick introduced the “Gran Sport” name for high-performance cars built by Buick. The beauty of the GS cars was that they were a perfect blend of high-performance, luxury appointments and comfort. The first GS was the Skylark in 1965, which was eventually replaced by the Gran Sport 455.
