    This car was supposedly a promo car by Buick..:puzzled: I'm a little surprised by the interior myself.

    adam, there is no supposedly about it. this car has had two owners, buick motor division and ed toth from akron, ohio. the car was purchased directly from buick and was picked up august of 72 in flint. ed toth opened his buick dealership in 72 and asked buick if he could use the car to promote his grand opening. they agreed and it was on the show room floor for the opening. their are supposedly three of these made. the car was shown at the chicago and detroit auto shows.did you get the rest of the pictures? if anyone has any questions about the car i can call ed tomorrow and get answers. he has all the paperwork to prove that this is a true promo car.
