Gran Sport Door Panel Emblems

Installed these last night. Stop laughing........ ; )

Those actually look really good.

Could you please leave something on your car a little DIRTY.Even the carpet in your door pockets look shampooed and spotless
and I am getting sick of it.Leave something a little flawed or even a little worn looking.I bet the third seat footwell in your car
is hospital level germfree and your glovebox is free of lint and old paperwork.
You make us lazy people look bad.
Just kidding,looks great!

Hahahahaha Jim that's hilarious.

It's true though. Time to vacuum my wagon out methinks

Before 'Fest (if I end up going) I am going nuts on my car. Inside and out will be spotless. i'll even be taking the hubcaps off and cleaning in between each wire.

Hahaha, thanks a lot! Yeah I'm kinda anal about keeping the cars clean....

If it makes you feel any better I've been looking at those pics and wishing I'd taken some Armour All to the door panels before taking them. I wiped all the Armour All off so the GS emblems would stick and especially in the 2nd pic the door panel looks really flat....bothers me.

As for the 3rd seat footwell, yes it's spotless, and I have a pair of carpeted GM floor mats in it that match the ones in the second row to keep the actual carpet safe from kid damage. ; )

As for my glovebox, it's got the owners manual, repair records, a Texas map, a pen, a tire gauge, and a flashlight in it. So no it's not empty. Feel better?

Take care all!

My glovebox has... a USB port, registration/insurance, record of last oil change, a bunch of napkins, brackets from my old Fleetwood horns because I eventually plan on mounting them, an LED flash light, some velcro... well you get the idea.

lol

I'll post a pic of mine saturday after a 2k mile week so you won't feel so bad Jim...

Back on topic, those emblems look good on the dorr panels. Hmm time to go find more emblems!

Looks good but obviously it's a clone. Everybody knows you could only get the "GS" package on the WB4's.

Yes, and they are all clones. Production for the GS equipped Roadmasters are as followes:
1994
Sedan: 371
Wagon:194

1995
Sedan:465
Wagon:276

1996
Sedan:638
Wagon:433

To get the "GS" package one had to also get the WB4 wood delete option. Not saying they don't look good but the GS was supposed to be a Sporty option to cater to the soccer Dads and such.

Are you folks serious are are you kidding around?? I've never heard nor seen any data regarding a Gran Sport wagon. Mine is very much a fake, don't claim it to be real, just think it looks cool with the GS emblems....and yes, I'm very much a soccer Dad.

I've read a lot of factory literature and brochures and never heard of a GS Roadmaster. Sedan or wagon....wood or not.

If you're serious please let me know where you got the info and if you have any pics. Would like to see what emblems GM used, and where they put them on the cars.

I'll have to find the info for you. It wasn't really offered to the general public, more of a COPO type deal. From what I understand they wanted something to cater to the family that wanted a RM but also wanted something sporty even though it conflicted with Buick's reputation of being for the older crowd at that point in time.

Hmmm.

Thanks

Intriguing....

...I never heard of a 'real' GS LT1 wagon?

This I gotta see!

Those door emblems look pretty nice. That is such a clean wagon too....love that ruby red interior!!

Thanks much! Now if I could just find the red trim for around the door handles all will be right in the world.

Oh and you should have seen the inside of the wagon last night. Took 6 kids and a friend to the local lake in the wagon.....with a sandy beach.

I no joke spent over an hour vaccuming and detailing the interior today at lunch. YUCK! She's all pretty inside again....next time we're taking my wife's Suburban!!!

yea and I own both of them



in response to the OP they look very good,but I think mainly due to the red interior. I like it .


Here are two of the real deal in my neck of the woods.

Origional owner of both,not mint,but solid numbers matching and great history records.

He is constantly asked if he will sell them,both sit outside all summer.

Wow,are you kidding Nick? I have only seen one other Blue SS ,and it has Flambes too.

If you have the manual trnsmission you truly do have an SS

The did so make woodie Roadmaster GS wagons, but they came with sedan front clips but only the woodie GS sedan nosed wagons came with power rear vent windows, buckets and console too.









Skirts and chrome ralleys were an option

Love those GS Skylarks! I especially like that the ragtop has a hitch on it. I'm a big believer in USING a car. Think that GS ragtop hauling a boat to the lake would look fantastic. My neighbor towed his ski boat with a 78 Trans Am when I was growing up. Coolest looking tow setup you ever saw. ; )
