Were it not in such a bland (for 2018 standards) finish I'd like it a bit more. Nice seeing a woodgrain delete Olds, though.

 

Actually, some sort of silver paint is the 2018 default these days. The vinyl roof is the real rarity on this clamshell.

 

Yeah it seems a lot more Buick’s came with the vinyl roofs. Interesting car.

 

Actually the ad states the cars exterior color as “green”. Makes more sense with a tan interior if it is some sort of grayish green. Anyone have a sales brochure on this to confirm the colors offered!?

 

There was a silver frost type color that seems kinda brownish Silver. The only green that is close to is a sage green, non metallic. So it may be a variety of that silver color. I think people also use the words “original “ including one repaint. I can’t tell from the pictures if that is that original silver color. I would tend to think it’s a repaint because of the newer single seam vinyl top. I think those would have had the two seems about a foot in from the drip rail. Just not totally sure about those years.

 

Very nice, luggage rack not so much.
