Got a Buick Wildcat - "Air Force Blue?"

Not sure if this qualifies as Air Force Blue but Buick was close enough for my interests :) This Wildcat is on it's way to the Mutt stable as soon as weather can clear. The seller's photo below was taken in a much warmer period of the year...

Ok, I assume this garage is bigger than your last one because I know you are not getting rid of the Healey. And that thing is two mutts long. :roll:

Nice ride Mr.D 8) The only thing I can see it needing is a set of red stripe tires :idea:
