None of the X-bodies had taillights that looked like this... the Olds and Buick were similar but they were cleary different... http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2431/3929679883_400ec77dba.jpg http://forum.avtoindex.com/foto/data/media/25/Buick_Skylark_1976_1.jpg The Pontiac's were totally different, as they had amber turn signals.
Ford_Guy ◊ 2009-10-14 05:05	Here's another view: /vehicle_252024.html It definitely looks like an X-body to me, but I've also never seen those tailights before.

This 1979 model looks a lot more like it: http://www.lov2xlr8.no/brochures/buick/79bu/10.html -- Last edit: 2009-10-14 05:18:41
