    They still had front drumbrakes in '69? I thought that by '67, all full-sized GMs had discs

    Nope Front drums were standard up to 1970 on Large GM Cars, thru 1972 on the mid sized cars.

    I like everything but the colors, I just don't car for green cars, never have. But this is a looker!

    We'll see. I'm betting, some dummy will fork out the price asked. There's one born every day, many times daily

    There is also a breed of dummy with more money than brains that takes enjoyment in overpaying as they somehow thinks it gives them status. Maybe it is a South Florida retiree thing. Didn't notice them as much in Maryland. I price that Riv at less than 1/2 the asking price, this is no classic design like the first year.

    It's almost as if the color alone would reveal a column shifter with front bench seat, without even getting to see the interior beforehand

    That's about a sure bet. Even back then, not many Buick owners optioned out their cars on a regular basis. Option packages were still about a decade and a half away.

    $43,000?! Is there 2 of them? Does typing the description in all caps make it worth more?

    The seller is so high that he's seeing double
    The Japs started with option packages. For factories, these are easier, since production doesen't have to tailor to customer whims. This also keeps lot inventory down, since dealers no longer need to offer a variety. For the customer, this sux, because there are unwanted gadgets there
