Interesting, that you would apply that particular number to a group of Buicks. Are we supposed to be impressed?
Coming off the production line, it was common for an engine to put out more, or less, than its “rating”, due to many factors, including the “stacking” of production tolerances. If a given engine was actually checked, it might show 20 HP over, or 20 HP under spec.

When did the manufacturers advertise ¼ mile times for production cars?

3 tenths is not much. Yeah, right.
It might be wise if you limited your posts, to asking questions.
