Hope to keep the 70 as long as I can. Been thinking of pairing down to one car though.....not sure I need two cars at this point in my life. The 72 is just as nice as the 70!Originally Posted by adamst56

Tom,
I don't know how nice your 72 looks in person, but if it was me it would take a whole lot of soul searching before I let John's 70 car go. That is one beautiful car.

Thanks Duane......If I decide to let one of them go it would be the 72. I looked to long and hard to find the 70 and it was exactly what I always wanted....color and all. I hope to keep the 70 forever. I do have to say that the 72 is almost as nice if not as nice as the 70 and is just as documented. I just would like to find one I can drive more often and not be so afraid some crazy would hit me when I go out in it.

Good 'Agreed Value' Insurance, Tom.
I like to drive mine everywhere, even the 400 miles (each way) to Ohio every year. These cars are meant to be driven

Hey Duane,
You have to call it Tom's Car now....
He bought the rights to call it that. I keep telling Tom, everytime we talk, that I am only five digits and a powerball from owning that car again.....
Yes....I DO MISS IT VERY MUCH! My garage will never be the same. But, It couldn't have gone to a better person. Even after he has owned it for almost two years, he still says he likes me....go figure.....
Duane, your car has turned out A-W-S-O-M-E-!!! I can't wait till the Reunion this summer when I get to see it in person.
Oh, and btw.... That '72 is every bit as nice as you can imagine.

Chris, I agree completely!! In fact I would rate that as the nicest looking GS I've ever seen. Everyone has their own tastes, but for me, it's the perfect combo. I absolutely LOVE it!!!

Steve and Chris, thanks for your comments on the Buick. I have never really been a big fan of silver, particularly in new cars, but as far as these older cars I have always loved that color combination also. It took me a long time to find exactly what I wanted in a GS. There is something about how that particular color glows in just the right light. On that particular late afternoon the lighting seemed to be perfect. I am not sure I have ever liked any of my cars better than this one. Thanks again for you’re your positive comments!!
