What's that bump on the hood? The air cleaner sits below it.

How do those lights work? They "roll" over 180 degrees from right to left. The operation is completely manual, with a big lever on the center console that you force forward to rotate the lights up, yank back on to rotate them down.

Hate the big license plate! Must have for CA.

Approximately 80k cars were built between 1968 and 1973. How many are left? Who knows.

But a nice one like mine is worth much more in Europe than here in the U.S. because 80% of the build came to North America, where they were sold through Buick dealers.

Crazy curved glass all around; a sure sign this car was built by a BIG company - in this case General Motors.
