Hello all, I started a website that has some info on my Buicks. More importantly I have about 12 years worth of Buick Color and Trim Books as well as Features & Facts books. I have scanned about half of the books and uploaded them to my website. I will post updates here as I add more scans. Thew website can be found here: http://gransportstage1.com/ If you are looking for info on whether your Buick convertible came with fabric upholstery when it was new (sorry, it didn't) or trying to figure out the difference between Burnished Saddle and Saddle interior colors, these books are a great reference. The books also have info on standard and optional features on the cars as well as vinyl top and paint options for each year. Did you know there was a Police upholstery option in 1964? There are also "Pink Sheets" in a few of the books that showed running changes throughout the model year. The features and Facts books have detailed technical info on each model and competitive comparisons for some years. The Color and Trim books and Features & Facts books can be found here: http://gransportstage1.com/buick-sales-literature/ These books are quite large and each page has to be scanned by hand on a large format scanner. in 1966 and 1967 the paint sections had plastic transparencies for each model that could be overlaid onto the paint samples so you could see what that model looked like in your chosen color. I have scanned a variety of color/model combinations for those years. This all takes a lot of time, I will upload more scans as I have time. I have all of the books listed, I have only scanned and uploaded the ones with active links on the Buick Sales Literature web page. Enjoy!
Stacey, awesome information that I am sure will benefit many here at the Forum. Is there a way to enlarge the paint color schemes/tops for the 1967 cars? Text is hard to read in the original scanned format. I could not find a way like you have included on the Salesman's books. Keep up the good work,
If you move your mouse over to the lower right part of each section, an icon should appear that will allow you to click and make the scans full-screen size which is as big as they get. The icon looks like a box with an arrow on it, it is hidden until you mouse over it. Sorry, my website software doesn't have a zoom feature beyond that.
Awesome work ! This should have it's own forum on V8 Buick !!! Excellent reference for anyone on this site. Love your cars. You have very good taste.
Nice site Stacey! My car broke down in a town next to Uxbridge last year. Weirdly, the guy who trucked my car home is apparently the guy you bought your car from. I remember when it was for sale here. I think I have a couple of engine shots of it.
Just added Color and Trim books for 1963 and 1965 plus a couple of brochures from 1960 to the http://gransportstage1.com/buick-sales-literature/ page. Jim W. - Thanks for making the Sticky!
"You're a good man Charlie Brown"! Guys like you and efforts like that are what really "makes" a forum fun. TexasJohn
Added a scan of the 1970 Full Line Brochure plus a new section with magazine reviews from back in the day. The magazine section has a handful of 1970 GS and GSX reviews for now. http://gransportstage1.com/buick-sales-literature/1970-buick-full-line-brochure/ http://gransportstage1.com/magazine-reviews/
Added 1961 Buick Selling manual. The first section has a giant matrix of order codes for options and paint for all the models. The last section has hand typed price sheets for all the models and options. http://gransportstage1.com/buick-sales-literature/1961-buick-selling-manual/
Thank you for this! I can only use the full screen mode for the linked gallery below. Would it be possible to update all of the galleries to have the same full page feature as this gallery? https://www.gransportstage1.com/buick-sales-literature/1965-buick-features-and-facts/
