67 wildcat Questions - female newbie from los angeles! -

^ can I have that? :grin:

 

Hi Yolanda,
First of all welcome to the Buick world.
You didnt mention if you are into Wildcat -67 all bodystyles or just the 2-door sports coup. In case its the wonderful lines of the sports coup youre after it can be found also on -67 LeSabre and also in -68 LeSabre + Wildcat. 1968 was the last year of that bodystyle.

Nuthin like a Cat....

 

The swag-line (or sweep-spear belt-line) did have a factory installed chrome strip; - it was available on Wildcat Custom for '67 with the up-scale interior. I had one on a 67 Wildcat convertible (4667). Unfortunately I don't have any pics to prove it, (my Wildcat's body was pretty much a wreck), but if you look in the parts manual it indicates them on an exploded diagram of the car's trim. The chrome underneath consisted of a thin blacked-out rocker panel moulding that expanded into a set of gills; - these were bolted on from the back of the piece, but nowadays you see them with screws driven in from the front as the pins are usually rusty and snapped off at a body shop. Some cars did have pin-striping running from the front fender crown along the belt-line over to the rear fender extension. There was some evidence of that on my car, and it looked like a factory job.

 

I like the 2 door best. I went and looked at the 67 & 68 LeSabre's and liked them. Still like the wildcat best though. How many 67 bodystyles were there? your question implies many.

Where are you looking at a manual? and what is a 4667? Thanks.

 

Love all the Cats, but I am partial to my 64 Convert which is a 4667 model:bglasses:
