Description
"Buick Wildcat" is the name of a series of concept cars developed by Buick beginning in 1953; this version introduced in 1985 was the fourth car to carry the name. Described as "an expression of muscular sculptural forms and exciting new mechanicals", the Wildcat was powered by an experimental 3.8L V6 built by McLaren Engines (no relation to the British car company). The car had no doors, just an opening canopy; it also featured a heads-up display on the steering wheel and a 4-speed transmission. Two were produced; one was a show car and the other a functional prototype.
This casting does not feature a window piece, with painted portions of the body masquerading as the top canopy; as a result this casting has no interior. Early releases of the casting feature copyright on the base pertaining to Warner Bros.; this was later changed to "Buick Wildcat".
