Tegoroczne
nadwozia Buicków inspirowane są prototypem XP-300 i
limitowanym Skylarkiem. Wynikiem 531.463
sprzedanych egzemplarzy firma zajęła trzecie miejsce wśród
dywizji General Motors.
Prototyp Wildcat z nadwoziem z tworzyw
sztucznych napędzany jest standardowym silnikiem V8 Buicka o
pojemności 322 cu. in, dzięki zastosowaniu czterech gaźników
rozwijającym moc 220 KM. "Venti-ports" - znak
rozpoznawczy Buicka, w tym eksperymentalnym modelu znajdują się w
jeszcze bardziej nietypowym miejscu niż w zeszłym roku. Niezwykłe
jest też umieszczenie reflektorów, które "stoją"
na przednim zderzaku. Figurka na masce to oczywiście dziki kot.
