    A ''post'' car is one that has a window frame around the door glass.

    Also it gets its name from the fact that when you roll down all the glass, you still have a ''post'' sticking up between the window holes.

    A ''hardtop'' has no posts with the windows down.

    As for details about your car...

    Its nik-name is the ''Stepchild'':bla:

    It is a cool ride, and 1,000,000 times better as a first car than a 15 year-old front-drive crap box so...

    Go you:beers2:

    Its a nik-name given to the '68-'69 Special/Skylark/GS cars.

    A lot of people love the '64-'67 cars and the '70-'72 cars, but are meh about the '68-'69 cars.

    The odd-ball styling is a little offputting to most.

    So they end up treated like ''stepchildren'':Dou:


    I for one dig the wilder styled Buicks like the stepchlidren and boat-tails:TU:

    If nothing else, its the least likely to be mistaken for a Chevelle:laugh:

    Kool so what you are saying is my car is an odd ball like me and its better then the rest lol jk. Ok sounds good i can diffently see the diffrence in the 67 and 69 but everyone confusses mine with a monte carlo. So one more question would 67 and 68 parts fit on my 69 or are they to diffrent say the tail light assembly cause i kinda need one and no one has them for this car.

    Thanks a lot juan

    '68, maybe:Do No:

    '67 no.

    You can post in the Parts Wanted section, or do a searchs in the Parts For Sale and Car Part-Out sections.

    Most anything you need can be found here.

    And yes, the stepchildren owners tend to be...:puzzled::laugh:
