Back in 1975 Buick paced the Indy 500. The car was the formal roofed Century Custom and it was equipped with Hurst Hatch removable T-roof panels & custom graphics. For 1975 Buick did away with the 455 in the Century and made the 350 the top engine. In fact the reworked V6 was placed back into service for the 1^st time since 1967 (at Buick anyway). The actual pace car received a 455.

There were a few Pace Car replicas sold. I only ever remember seeing one back when it was new. It was at Kerr Pontiac Buick Cadillac in Oakville, Ontario. I did see it on the road in the late 1970s and eventually saw it in an Auto Trader painted all white. I wonder if it survived?

Pretty cool Gran Sport there Trishieldchief. I was into the new car offerings and collecting brochures ever since about 1969. I still have all my 1975 Buick brochures, but I must say that I can't recall ever having seen a 1975 Gran Sport. O.K., maybe one.

I looked to see if Phoenix Graphics has the decal kit for your car, but all they have are the Gran Sport script decals, not the stripes. I would say that documenting those stripes and sending a note to Phoenix Graphics may be in your best interest. It may mean that if anything happened to your car, or if you repaint it then you can still retain those unique, correct stripes. They have the kit for 1973-74 but not 1975.

I searched for a set of original decals for my 1971 Evinrude Yachtwin 4-horse outboard and found the very last NOS set in inventory from an old Evinrude dealer in New Jersey back in 2008. I then donated them to a guy in Markham, who is now reproducing them for the benefit of anyone who needs them. http://nymarine.ca/
