Scope and Content

Intended to be a revival of the moniker that, at that point, had gone unused for about fifteen years, this prototype from General Motors was dubbed the Buick Wildcat. Built in 1985, this a mid-engine sports car with all-wheel drive and a fully-exposed high-performance, double overhead cam V6. The chassis used carbon-fiber and vinyl-ester resin and the body featured a 'lift-up' canopy for entry and exit. The 1985 Wildcat is still owned by Buick today and is still operational. This poster shows this car's sleek side-profile and aerodynamic proportions.
