Buick started using the GS, or Gran Sport tag on several models since 1965, to denote, as you guessed it, sporty yet luxurious cars from the General Motors marque. Buick sat second in the luxury hierarchy at the time, with Cadillac ahead of it, but the latter didn’t make sporty machines, so that mantle was Buick’s for the taking. Models such as this 1969 Buick GS 400 Convertible brought fun to drive characteristics to the luxury car brigade, and this particular car sports a reported numbers-matching motor and transmission. Two keys, for the ignition and trunk are included in the sale.
Exterior and Interior
It’s not hard to picture this 1969 Buick GS 400 Convertible being driven on the silver screen, in its red paintwork and contrasting white convertible top, dual headlamps, ample chrome trimmings, and chrome hubcaps centered upon meaty tires. There’s also plenty of badging, including the BUICK script, GS, GS 400, and GS By Buick badging in various places on the car. The downward tapering lines at the rear lend a further touch of distinctiveness, and ends with elongated tail lamp clusters set in a lavish chrome bumper. The white interior of this 1969 Buick GS400 Convertible is actually closer to a shade of cream, and perfectly matches the lustrous red exterior. Offering the requisite creature comforts of the Sixties, you’ve got plushly upholstered seats, ventilation system, a two-spoke steering wheel, and original in-dash radio. The seller reports that the radio doesn’t function, but an extra unit is included with the sale so that you can restore functionality if desired. A little plaque in the door sills informs us that the body is made by Fisher, which was common practice in those years, to have bodies built by a separate coachbuilder. The trunk also appears in decent condition, and contains the spare wheel.
Engine
As the name alludes, this 1969 Buick GS 400 Convertible comes with an appropriately punchy 400ci V8 beneath the hood, that generated 340hp and 440lb-ft when new. The engine sends drive to the rear wheels via a three-speed Super Turbine 400 automatic transmission, and it’s said that 68 and 69 models came with a lower than usual first gear, making them quite quick off the line. Power drum brakes on all four wheels ensure steady stopping power, and power steering is present for easier steering duties.

The 1999 Buick Riviera Silver Arrow Limited Edition marked the end of an era, serving as a commemorative send-off for the Riviera nameplate after decades as one of Buick’s most distinctive personal luxury coupes. This example is #27 of just 200 produced and shows only 28,978 miles. Finished in Sterling Silver Metallic over a Medium Gray leather interior, it pairs understated late-1990s luxury with the stronger personality of Buick’s supercharged 3800 Series II V6. Special Silver Arrow badging, interior logos, and its numbered plaque distinguish this car from a standard Riviera, while the low production count gives it genuine collector appeal.
The 1942 Buick Super 4-Door Touring Sedan comes from a brief and historically significant model year, with civilian automobile production soon giving way to wartime priorities. Showing approximately 78,842 miles, this example is powered by Buick’s 248ci “Fireball” inline-eight, bored .030-inch over, and paired with a 3-speed manual transmission. Finished in gray over a gray interior, it retains the formal proportions and unmistakable prewar character of Buick’s Super line while also benefiting from a refreshed front suspension. The current owner notes that the radio, heater, and temperature gauge are inoperable, and the car retains its original spare tire.
This 1957 Buick Roadmaster Riviera 2-Door Hardtop is pure late-1950s American excess in the best possible way, combining dramatic Harley Earl-era styling with the torque-rich character of Buick’s Nailhead V8. Showing approximately 14,574 miles, this example was refurbished in the late 2000s and is finished in Dover White and Bittersweet Red over a Rust and Ivory interior. The car was later upgraded with an Air Lift Performance air suspension system. Add in power steering, power brakes, power windows, a power front bench seat, Hot Rod Air climate control, and wide whitewalls, and this Roadmaster delivers the extravagant look of a flagship ’50s Buick with a few thoughtful upgrades that make it even more enjoyable today.
