Buick 1962 - 1982
1960s prosperity saw literally hundreds of Buicks imported, mostly through large Holden dealerships in Sydney and Melbourne, and converted to right-hand drive.
Survivors from those times have been supplemented by recent arrivals and ensure plenty of choice for buyers.
Among the least costly of the 1960s-70s models are the enormous Electra and Limited sedans and hardtops that in very good condition remain under $25,000.
Spending $10,000 more will buy a sporty Le Sabre, Wildcat two-door or classy-looking Riviera. ‘Boat-tail’ Rivs can be advertised at ambitious prices but normally sell below $30,000.
First-Gen 1963-65 Rivieras and GS-optioned cars can top $50,000 but that remains less than the cost of sourcing and importing one from the USA.
