Buick special Ha! I'm remembering all sorts of stuff from the past on this forum. I had a buick special 4 door in college. Had a small aluminum v8 that leaked alot of oil. I knew to add more when it wouldn't accelerate properly. It had been painted in a friend's barn. The barn burned sometime later and the heat cooked the paint so that it had a kind of color-shifting effect. The color would look different depending on the viewing angle.
