I'll guess that GMC is about a 1970 vintage. I have a '91 GMC Sierra which is in great shape. Not quite as well restored as the one above.

Bought my wife this Buick Rivera when we were both working. I rate it one of the best looking cars I’ve owned. But, I can’t remember what year it is..

That would be hard to remember as Buick didn't really change the design much from 1980 to 1985. Guess they figured... why mess with something that works.

Sweet.... Very similiar to my 1972 GMC truck.

Is it interesting? Not sure BUT it is a 1 year only 1958 Chevrolet Impala, also the first year of the Impala.

I happen to own a 58 Delray.

I like your Delray. Plenty of potential there. We had a 58 Impala, but, it was stolen out of the parking lot at the Pomona swapweet. It's still on the California hotsheet and I always hope that someday I'd get it back.

I guess this would qualify as an interesting car from my past. 1960 Ford Falcon; 427 Chevy powered, 57 olds rear w/4.88 gears and of course, the rearend moved forward 6 inches and the front end (straight axle) moved forward 12 inches. Ugly as sin, but, able to put the front wheels in the air at will.

@squatting dog
I know a guy who built a full frame for his Falcon, he wanted a solid foundation for it.

This one still had the uni-body back half, but, from the rearend forward, I used square tubing all the way to the front axle mounts and used small round tubing from the firewall forward for the shock mounts. Did the whole thing with an old Lincoln tombstone stick welder.

I owned a car that looked like this. 1972 AMC Gremlin
