Your convertible looks great! Mine was originally the same colors. I'll be painting it next year and hopefully have it on the road again for the first time in 12 years.

Diplomat, code 28, you saw it a Blue Sky last year or the year before.

Sharp lookin ride!! My next one is gonna be that color!!

[kevin mcculloug]

Awesome color combo. Ties for my favorite. Blue /white converts are a coin toss for me. Strato and Diplomat are great.

I'm sure you'll have as much fun as I do. It makes those chevy's look real ordinary

Snow is too deep or I would be working on my Dip Blu w/white vinyl top car. It's great to look at cars that already look like mine will hopefully look
like when its done!! Ya, that is if I am lucky!!

The snow and cold are a real bear. Even in a garage, I'm sure your's will look just as good. It's a Buick right.

As long as they are as loud as mine are, I love that 60's / 70's rumble

Great car ....I have a 70 GS455 Convertible .Fire red and black buckets

[IrishRover455]

Sounds great, Red, black and blue are my favorites

Beautiful car but it makes my blood boil and I will tell you why. In the late 70s I was selling cars for a used car dealer in Tacoma WA. They had a policy there for the sales people that they could by any trade in for $50.00 over the trade in allowance. You probably know where this is going. They took in a Blue ( same color ) with black interior and top. Bucket seat 4 speed car. As soon as the deal was done and the buyers left I told the manager I would buy the car.
OK he said, we will write it up tomorrow. I even drove it home that night.
The next day when I came to work he had the deal wrote up but it was marked up about $400.00. After a heated discussion I passed on the car and told the manager what he could do with it. Looking back I should have bought it anyway.
We all know hind sight is 20/20.
