    OK guys,
    I'm working on something and am trying to complete my list of 65-72 Buick A-body Production Plants.

    If anyone can add to the list I would appreciate it, just give the year, type of car (ie Skylark, Special, GS), and the production plant.

    Thanks, and here is my list so far.

    Mark,
    Thanks, I figured they made 65's in Fremont, but didn't have any in my database.

    Mike Trom,
    Thanks for reminding me about the "Daily Car Reports", I didn't even think about that, but I do have a question. On the 69 sheets they list Baltimore, but have no entries, so that means they did not produce any GS's there. Do you have any info that they produced any buick A-bodies there?

    Pat/ Big Vito,
    Don't feel left out, my area of expertise is really only with the 70-72 cars, and a little with the 65-67 and 68-69 cars.

    There are others here that are really good with the early cars, and I got the 70-72 stuff pretty well covered, so we figured we would "pass the baton" off to you to cover the 73-75 cars.

    Your right, I have the '69 reports for GS coupes and converts along with the "special deluxe" reports and there is not a listing for any cars being built in Baltimore but the plant is still listed :Do No:

    The plant info from the daily car reports should give you the info that you need I would think..

    Mike,
    Yeah, I thought Baltimopre shifted over to the big cars in 1969. I think I have everything for the 68-72 cars now, but still need some earlier info.
    Duane

    PS. I just updated my original list. Anyone else have any info like 1966 Kansas City, or 1967 Fremont California?
