Legit buick?

Came across this Buick being advertised as a 'Coca-Cola" edition. I realize you can order graphics for anything but it looks very well done.

It appears to be a 70 model. The spoiler and hood tach were only available on GSX optioned cars which in 70 only came in Apollo white and Saturn yellow. In 71-72 models when you could get a red GSX, the factory had to deviant from the normally red narrow pinstripe. A shade of Orange was selected.

I never heard of anything like that, but as you say a good sign shop can make you about anything you want. As in the "Rocinante III" decals I had made for the 08 F150. And yes, there have been Rocinante and Rocinante II. But Ford never made them.

I've linked it to the AACA Buick Forums. They'll know and either say legit or call BS.

This issued was hashed years ago. Here is a more recent thread.

44437 starting the VIN indicates it came off the factory line as a skylark custom and not a GS.

There is a much older thread about this car that I cannot seem to locate.
