Car of the Week - 1973 Buick Gran Sport Stage 1
Unusually warm weather this last autumn allowed me to cruise over to the Yorktown (NY) Cars and Coffee the first week of November in my '69. Among the Corvettes, Mustangs, Porsches, and more Corvettes, I spotted this tidy example of a 1970's GM A-body Colonnade coupe. These cars are rare sights at car shows nowadays. But I did not realize how rare this car was until I spoke with its owner, Phil Roitman of Katonah, NY.
First a little background on the 1973 Gran Sports. The Buick Gran Sport was the muscle car version of the Buick Century. The GM A-bodies were new for 1973, featuring the Colonnade styling. All the A-bodies were around 325 pounds heavier than the prior years' models due to roof and frame reinforcements required by the anticipated safety federal rollover standards (which never materialized). However, due to the large engine compartments of these cars, stuffing them with big V8 power plants was not a problem.
