In 1970 Buick introduced the GSX option to the Skylark as an answer to the GTO, 4-4-2, and Hemi 'Cuda. And a great looking muscle car it is. The Hot Wheels version, here, looks great in red and is from the casting's introduction in 2009 to the Mainline. From the card back:
Modeling in (mostly) 1/72nd scale (and any other subject that catches my attention - author suffers from acute "shiny item" syndrome)

Hot Wheels So Fine (N9059) - from 2009 Larry's Garage series (15 of 20)
Another version of Hot Wheels' So Fine casting - this time from the premium series Larry's Garage. The model is a modified 1951 Buick. The two tone paint is well done, but is a disappointment. The flat rust looks like primer to me, so the car feels unfinished. The wheels look good for this casting and the chrome grill really give it a menacing look.

Hot Wheels So Fine (X1836) from the 2013 Mainline American Turbo Segment (184/250)
So Fine is a custom rod based on a 1951 Buick Roadmaster. Great example of a great casting, but the tampos, especially around the engine ports, is a little off. The lines of this model look fantastic, and the grill is superb. Need to find the premium example that was released as part of Larry's Garage series.

auto world's 1967 Buick Gran Sport. These run around $3.00 at Walmart, a remarkable value given that mainline Hot Wheels run around $1.00.
