Please send me a shot of the Bittersweet car with the top down. I am still moving/replacing cars to get the colors to mix. I still need '66 GS photos (a convertible would be nice) and another '68 GS coupe (not red) to replace the picture of my old GS currently on the poster. I also fixed a couple of typo's on the production stats. In the near future I will post the stats that will be on the poster for everone to proof read for me :grin: Now for my standard disclaimer :bla: ***Just so that there are no hard fealings if I do not use a photo of your car that you may have sent or was on the poster before, I will be adding/removing cars as I receive photos to get a good mix of colors and also to get better angles. I am not playing favorites, I am just trying to make a nice looking poster. No one has given me any problems but I just want to be up front and keep this project on friendly grounds..***
Mike, I love what you have done. I was going to send a picture of my car, but I didn't think you would want to take your 68 GS400 out to put mine in... I guess yours will do :bla: Did you come up with a price yet? I am sure I will be in for at least one or two. Thanks for the effort! Gil :beer
I could pull the picture of my old red '68 GS400 off (and I would like to do that) and put another convertible on but I need to leave my convertible on to give the poster some colorp Thats the only reason its still on there :laugh: I don't have a price yet but I will keep it as low as I can and most likely offer discounts on multiples since they can ship in the same mailing tube. These posters will be 11" x 17" and not the very large size like I had wanted to do at the beginning. It would require profession photos of each car to make a large poster. :TU: I still need '66 GS photos and another '68 and a couple of '73's
Getting closer.... Still need some '66 GS's and a couple of '73's (or a '74 & '75)... Don't be afraid to send photos of other years, I am still mixing the colors around... :beer
Mike, just a suggestion. IMHO think that Maybe a couple of different posters . One for the Wildcats and such and the one for the GS larks. Once you figure out the content you should be able to save it and do another with the big cars. I bet you could do all right if the size is 11x17 but I would like to see it bigger myself. I bought a frame for an signed Snyder print I have at Walmart for 14.00 and its very nice its gotta be 17x24 or so. Just a thought . I really like the GS background.
John, If this goes OK I might look at doing one for the Wildcats/Rivs but it has not been easy to get photos of the "A" bodied cars so I bet the Wildcats/Rivs would be more difficult to get enough good photos for a poster. Right now 11x17 is the best size for the quality of pictures that I am using. Some of the photos I have are very low resolution and look fine on 11x17 but start to look grainey if you enlarge them. I would need high res photos to make larger posters. The cost of going to larger prints is quite a bit more also. OK you '66 GS guys, I need some photos, :Smarty: :laugh: Your holding everything up! :3gears:
Here are the statistics that I am putting on the poster. The 1965 thru 1967 and the 1973 stats are from the Stephen Dove GS book. 1968 thru 1972 are from the GM daily car reports. Please check them over and post any questions or concerns. 1965 Gran Sport Production GS400 Sport Coupe 11351 GS400 Sedan 2282 GS400 Convertible 2147 1966 Gran Sport Production GS400 Sport Coupe 9934 GS400 Sedan 1835 GS400 Convertible 2047 1967 GS Production GS340 Coupe 3692 GS400 Sport Coupe 6967 GS400 Sedan 1014 GS400 Convertible 2140 1968 GS Production GS350 Sport Coupe 8317 GS400 Sport Coupe 10743 GS400 Convertible 2454 GS350 California 4831 1969 GS Production GS350 Sport Coupe 6305 GS400 Sport Coupe 7602 GS400 Convertible 1776 Stage 1 Sport Coupe 1256 Stage 1 Convertible 212 GS 350 California 3574 1970 GS Production GS350 Sport Coupe 9948 GS455 Sport Coupe 5189 GS455 Convertible 1184 Stage 1 Sport Coupe 2865 Stage 1 Convertible 232 GSX 455 199 Stage 1 GSX 479 1971 GS Production GS350 Sport Coupe 5986 GS455 Sport Coupe 1481 GS455 Convertible 165 GS350 Convertible 655 Stage 1 Sport Coupe 801 Stage 1 Convertible 81 GSX(350,455 & Stage 1) 124 1972 GS Production GS350 Sport Coupe 5896 GS455 Sport Coupe 1099 GS455 Convertible 126 GS350 Convertible 645 Stage 1 Sport Coupe 728 Stage 1 Convertible 81 GSX (350,455 & Stage 1) 44 1973 Gran Sport Production Gran Sport 350 Coupe 4930 Gran Sport 455 Coupe 979 Stage 1 Coupe 728 :beer
Mike,I've been watching this thread from the begining,I like your idea and I'm hoping to buy and frame one of these in the future.I like the GS background better,very clear content description that can be seen before the cars are in full view,like light to a moth:laugh: .You have asked for some input before and I have none to give about how to but would like for you to consider including all years GS cars,so the non Buick person doesn't leave misinformed.I know that it will be more time added for pics and maybe a space issue also,it's just a thought for your consideration.Hang in there,it looks good:TU: .
I'd like to see the '74s and '75s up there aswell, If we can find some guys with them. Mike, the poster is really great. Lots of little details went into it and I can see you put alot of effort into it which makes a huge difference. Everywhere you look there is something.:TU:
Here is the latest... I am starting to get a good mix of colors... I still need '66's and a '74-'75...
I would like to get all years '65 thru 75. Lets hope someone steps up with some photos... Imput and comments are welcome :TU: Any comments on the production figures? OK / Wrong / ?
