    Back in the mid 90's I saw an original paint '67 GS 400 and took pictures specifically of the stripes at the beginning of the fenders, at each end of the doors, and at the end of the rear 1/4 panels. Each side is slightly different, especially where the lines go by the lock on the door. They are not digital pictures so I can't post them right now. If no one else replies I will take them to work on Monday to scan them so I can email them to you/ or post them here.

    The fellow that painted my pinstripes looked at the Year One catalog and came up with this look.

    If the strips are the same as a 66 they should be .300 below the crease, top strip is .090 wide, than a .220 space, bottom strip is .060 wide. the dimension from the front edge is .700 and at the rear its .160 from the fender end. (Not the cap)

    Okay here goes, first few pictures are scans of an original paint car that I saw back in the mid 90s. The scans make it a little hard to really see the detail, especially since I had to reduce the size so much in able to be able to post them here on the board. However one thing is for sure, each side was different, as you would expect from something done by a human. Since these are not really clear I will also post some pictures from original magazine road tests of 1967 Buick GSs.

    Also if you PM me you email address I can send these all to you in a higher resolution if you want them.

    Hope this helps.

    P.S. also note that this car was an early production GS 400 with the extra piece of trim at the bottom of the front fender.
