68-69 Stepchild T-shirts

The thread about the bastard stepchild buicks got me thinking that all of us 68-69 owners should have a Bastard Stepchild Nation T-shirt to wear with pride.:beer
There is a place two doors down from my work that makes custom design t-shirts. Now all we need is a good design. Anyone interested? Better yet doesn''t someone on this board make shirts??

 

How's Pop Kennedy doing his thing, as our poster child ?? :beer

 

I like this idea, that is one of my fav pics.

My motto "A '69 was good enough for Pop's..."

 

Count me in!

Would it be possible to have two pics on the shirt?

A rear/side shot of a '69 showing the bumper (The Pop's pic is great!) and a front/side shot of a '68 showing the fake fender vents and rear mounted hoodscoop. These are usually main features used to identify the two years.

 

That is a good Idea:kodak:
That is a cool Pic you posted Alan. Now we need a nice front shot.

I think we need to have Buick Bastard Nation Somewhere on it.:beer

 

I would prefer red headed step child to bastard stepchild.

Would be a more polite way of putting it.

"1968-1969 BUICK GS"

[Picture]

"Bad Boy Red-Headed Stepchild"

How about a picture of Danny DiVito and/or Arnold S with the cars. Remember the movie "Twins"?

Something along these lines would be rather cute. Like the 68-69s got all the bad genes.

 

Count me in.

I've always prefered the 68-69 body style. :beer

 

I think you guys are giving yourselves way too much credit. I would say all of the Buick lovers are the Red Headed Stepchildren in the performance world. I would say the 68-69 lovers are one degree further removed.

That is just me but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last week.

All Right Matt! p Very well said. Pretty much says it all in my humble opinion. :TU: Jim :bglasses:

 

I am in.

Unfortunately I would have to leave the "bastard" part off to have it due to the kiddies.(had to hide all the old college tshirts too, same reason)

I started out just as a 70-72 fan but have warmed up to the 68-69 body style because they are unique and look different. I think the famous Hot Rod road test in 68 sums it up well when they say it looks like some sort of sporty mini-Riviera.

Cool look, big motor. Not everyone has one.

I need a 68 basketcase ragtop too so I can have the full set of projects from 68-72.

 

There is a guy in Lewiston, MN that had a 68 convertible project for sale. He had a 69 convertible parts car and a 69 coupe parts car. He wanted 4500 for all of it. He claimed the frames on the verts were really nice. If wanted I could go back and find the phone number.

 

Hey! That's my line when referring to the '70 Riviera! :laugh:
But it does seem the '68-'69 A-Body Buicks get the same treatment.

Carry on. :beers2:

 

Shirts are pretty easy to make. Although you may be able to get a better bulk deal from the neighbor. I've made them before, uploaded them to zazzle, and they can be purchased there in a variety of different styles/materials. You can buy one at a time or several - the same images can be placed on coffee mugs and other things too.

 

Anyone got a nice clean shot of the front of a stock 68 GS that shows the unique features of the 68. The rear 69 shot that was posted was great.

 

If a 68/9 GS is a red-headed stepchild, then what the hell is a 68/9 Skylark. Everybody abuses the bottom of the pile so it's all in your perspective.:bla:

 

Man the skylark owners are upsetou:

Let's see, at least it's not a 4 door 68/69 skylark:laugh:

 

....I think I hear some Special Deluxe owner's groaning about your complaint

Honestly - over the years I've come to realize that if it wasn't for the damn value thing i love them all the same as they are virtually the same

 

Even if the value was the same, I would still like the Buick better. I bought my Buick befor I knew of the board because I wanted something just a little different.

The "Fast with Style" says it all. The value and the Buick community are the cherry on top.

 

Alan I agree, I used to think 68/69 cars were the ugliest thing ever. Then over the years I realized that to me they are the best looking A-body out there. :beer I like being different. :3gears:

 

...for me it was the other way around - I started out with my first car being a 69 Skylark. I Cant say that back then in 1980 that I thought it was all that, but over the years it became a part of me and me a part of it. Having owned at least one (if not 4 or 5) since then I never really developed the same "Love" for the other years as the 68/69's but I've come to appreciate them.

...just not as much :bla:
