BACKFIRE
HALF-CENTURY CAR SPOTTING
I got my November issue of HMM the other day. I quickly glanced through it and eventually got around to start reading the articles. The ’70 GSX (“By the Numbers,” HMM #195) got my attention, because I can distinctly remember seeing one at a Buick dealer way back in 1970.
The car caught my eye as I was driving on Route 130 in Burlington, New Jersey. It was out front of the dealership and I remember seeing it on more than one occasion. I was traveling to a job assignment and didn’t have time to stop to get a closer look. This was the first time I ever saw a GSX and I thought it looked great in white with that distinctive stripe.
Fast forward 49 years and, as I read about this GSX, I discovered that this car was delivered to the same dealer where I saw it in 1970!
