On "My Car Story" we're in the West Suburbs of Chicago IL on 8-28-23.
We're looking at a 1968 Buick GS Gran Sport Convertible in Burnished Saddle Paint. The car comes with the 400 CI V8 engine and an automatic transmission.
The car's Owner is Greg Cilano. Greg’s had this car since 2003. He shares his Family always had Buicks. He noticed a neighbor had this car and he purchased it from Arizona. He noticed the neighbor was planning to move and asked if the car was for sale? The neighbor said yes, and the deal was made. This car looks showroom new.

Hi, If you like this video, please click on SUPER THANKS ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou
Love them old Buicks and Oldsmobiles
Nice :-)
@5:17 - That's a carburetor pre-heater GM called "Thermac". In the snorkel of the air cleaner, there is a diverter flap that closes when the engine is cold and pulls hot air off the manifold. It helps the engine run better when it's cold. As soon as the choke pulls off when the engine is warm, the diverter flap opens and pulls in cold air. It has nothing to do with the heat in the passenger compartment!
Hi Milford Civic, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge. Lou
The thing that you saw on the firewall is a vacuum reservoir. Back then, the air distribution was operated by vacuum diaphragms. Under acceleration, engine vacuum decreases and under hard acceleration there is no vacuum. To keep the airflow going where it is supposed to go, they added vacuum reservoirs to hold vacuum when needed.
Hi Automated Electronics, Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Lou
What a sweet Buick! I love these.
Happy to read you enjoy this "sweet Buick!" :-)
@@loucostabile - Oh yeah! 😛
Thank You Mister Master, I appreciate the positive feedback. Greg
@@GregCilano-lg4gf - She’s a beauty
How striking this 1968 Buick GS Grand Sport looked in full sunlight with that Burnished Saddle paint! With very beautiful lines and striking chrome, such as the side stripe of the body that descends to the rear wheel, or the pointed front with the double sunken headlights, contrasting with the rear part of the trunk wavy inwards (special mention for the feathers of the windshields very cleverly hidden behind the hood). In addition to an excellent white interior combination. The final ride, through those beautiful landscapes aboard this convertible, was very entertaining and relaxing; Come on, what the doctor advises to start the year off on the right foot! Ha ha. Have a great start to 2024, Lou!
Hi Jaime, Happy to read you enjoy this "striking" car :-) Fun to read what you see. Wishing you a great 2024. Glad you're along for the ride, Lou
Hi Jaime, I really appreciate your attention to detail, yes many unique styling designs for this Buick. The sweep spear as you mention descending to the rear wheel would separate the 2- tone paint on Buick in the 40's and 50's and was a common Buick design feature. Thank You, Greg
@GregCilano-lg4gf Thank you very much for that additional information! You have a beautiful vehicle, Mr. Cilano, with a very well maintained appearance! (Including the magnificent collection of brochures and manuals, hehe). Thank you for showing us this gem, including the pleasant walk! Greetings from Ecuador; and have a great year 2024!
Happy New Year Lou, thank you for taking the time to interview, video and professionally represent my 68 Buick GS 400 on your website! It was a pleasure meeting you this summer, I look forward to seeing you again in 2024, you do outstanding work! Regards, Greg Cilano
Happy New Year Greg. My pleasure sharing your cool car. Looking forward to seeing you at more car shows.
Another great video, Lou! The black plastic "ball" on the firewall is a vacuum reservoir for the blend doors of the climate control. Without it (and the check valve in the vacuum line from the intake manifold or carburetor base), the air conditioning or heat starts blowing out of the wrong vents every time you mash the go-pedal 😊
Hi Jeff Fixes It, Thank you for sharing what the ball on the firewall is for. Lou
blend doors???? Just Juan word...WTF.
I lost count of how many of these videos that Lou or another video Grapher has asked what those canisters are for, and the car owner either admitted they didn't know or gave a wrong answer. You sir ger an attaboy, for correctly knowing the right answet!
Man that’s a Beautiful car ! Comfortable, Dependable, Beautiful !
High praise :-)
🤗THANKS LOU ,GREG …WE LOVE ❤️ CONVERTIBLES,A BEAUTIFUL DAY..FOR A RIDE IN A BEAUTIFUL 🤩 CAR 😎💚💚💚

Thank You for the positive feedback!! Greg
What a beautiful Buick GS! A neighbor from my childhood had a 1968 Skylark convertible that was a slightly darker brown exterior and sported a 350.
Thanks Lou.
Happy to read this car brings back memories of your neighbor's car from childhood :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Brian.
My dad used to call those yrs the 'years of the pre-bent rear bumper'....Fun fact, I had a 72 Skylark 350 Custom convertible that a friend and I bought off a fella who had an engine fire, and the insurance co totalled it. Thx to the FD, the fire was contained to just the underhood parts, though the front fenders and hood were badly warped and the grill was melted. That car had a 68 400 in it and we think the carb or fuel line leaked raw fuel onto the manifold, causing the fire, but it was hard to tell. After LOTS of parts sourcing, we converted it to a 70 GS clone, but I found a used 350 Buick to put in after I rebuilt it. Couldn't find a 455 or anything else at the time. We had to go to Indiana to get the 350..The result was a yellow on white, with OE white top ( which still worked perfectly) cruiser. My friend and I sold that car in '00 to a young guy who wrapped it around a telephone pole 1 month later, in Evergreen Park IL...
Hi Adam, Thank for sharing what you Dad used to call them. Sounds like you and your Friend were great Caretakers. Sad to read the end result :-( Lou
Great choice Lou and the color combination is perfect, white interior always looks incredible !
Hi Richard, High praise, Lou
Always liked the body style of the concave bumper and rear end . Beautiful classy muscle car . Thanks for sharing Lou ! Happy and healthy 2024 Lou .
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) You're welcome. Happy and heathy 2024 to you Michael.
Thank You for your positive feedback and the unique concave bumper comment!! Greg
I bought this car in red w/white top and interior in 1968. Paid $3,200. I loved the car. I was 23 !
Hi fob1xxl, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
What ever happened to your 68, traded in for new one in the 1970's? Thanks, Greg
ME Too ! ! Same !
Started this one with a bang! What a killer sound of the 1968 Buick GS 400! That engine sound was incredible. This model looks very sleek. I wsn't such a big fan of the Skylark of this same year that had rear wheel skirts. I thought it looked frumpy. But not the GS! The GS looks really cool. Even better in 1970. Great interior too! No mistaking the engine sound of this one - love the idle and goes to show Buick can do it!.
Hi Brian, Happy to read you enjoy the sounds and looks of the GS :-) Lou
Brian, Thank You, agree on the skylark rear wheel skirts and side trim, a couple tweaks and you have the GS400! Greg
@@GregCilano-lg4gf Greg, great minds think alike! I wasn't sure if 1968 was the same year as the one with awful side trim and skirts...I had to look it up before I posted. But you are so right...a couple of tweaks and you have that really nice care here the GS 400! I thought the 1970 Skylark/GS, etc.was the year they finally got all the models right! But don't get me wrong...I'd have a 1968 in my garage!!! I have room....
A roommate of mine had a 421 2v power glide skylark in a very similar color. In 1989 it had only 31k little old lady miles. What a car

The condenser is in front of the radiator..The item in question I believe is a vacuum canister..The item marked Fridgedair is of course the compressor..5:42. Beautiful Buick!!❤❤
Hi Alan, Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Lou
The 1968 GS 350 was stuck with the two speed SuperTurbine 300 automatic. In 1969 they got the new 3 speed turbo 350. But the GS 400 got the 3 speed SuperTurbine 400 in 1967 and the 3 speed Turbo 400 in 1968.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Great car from 1968. Those GS Buicks from the late 60's and early 70's were among the strongest of the strongest muscle cars then. This one has the Buick style with it too.
Hi Tommy, Happy to read "Great car from 1968" :-) My pleasure sharing this car with you. Lou
Amazing Buick! The interior had to be redone at some point and then car placed in climate controlled storage. Think back to the late 70s & this body style was all over the roads, Chevy Malibu and SS, Olds Cutlass & 442 and Buick Skylark & GS. So many were hand me downs, chopped up, giant tires. To see one in original condition is a treat. Brown too! There were a ton of brown cars back then, including my Dad's 72 Gold Duster.
Hi Pat, Happy to share this "Amazing Buick!" with you :-)
Thank You, the interior was completely redone around 2006. Greg
Another amazing car, Lou! I am usually not fond of brown cars but this color really works on this Buick. I love the way the side stamping swoops down from above the front wheel well dipping down to form a cover of the rear wheel. Very tasteful! GM's mid-sized vehicles in this era had a quality about them that seemed so much better than anything else on the market at the time (though I'd say it was lost when the products were updated in 1972). The engine sound on this car is music to my ears. Thanks for sharing this, Lou, and for continuing to offer a must see youtube channel! Happy New Year to you and to your family!
High praise for the looks and design of this car! You're welcome. Happy New Year ultraviolet tp to you and your family too!
Yes! The 60s to early 70s GM cars were very stylish, esp. the Buicks! 1973 was an ABOMINATION when the gubmint stuck their nose in where it doesn't belong, mandating railroad ties for all vehicles, front and back! Did that save any lives??? Probably not...
Oh man, you should do a google search and look at the 1968 Skylark Custom. It has fender skirts. But the bright moldings which follow that old-style 'fender' line continue to the rear of the car, and on the fender skirts as well.
The standard Skylark had no skirts, so those bright moldings connected to the piece of chrome which followed the top of the rear wheel opening. Even without the skirts, it's still a very low-cut wheel opening. Definitely the most elegant A body for '68 and '69.
Very nice car.
My oldest brother had a 72 GS in a very similar color but I think it was called Nutmeg Poly. Not many people like brown but I loved the Buicks dark brown metallic paints of that era. My brothers had a tan/doeskin type interior that went really well with the color.

Hi Jamesh7571, thank you for the positive feedback, no doubt unique, the sweep spear on the side of car is a Buick classic design! Greg
Man did this thing have clean lines. So nice. Is amazing the torque this thing had
Happy to read you enjoy the design and torque of this car :-)
Hi Danam0228, the sweep spear on the side of car gives it a different look when parked, appreciate the positive feedback! Greg
I loved the lines on this year and model. Liked the skylark’s as well. Buick made some sharp cars in late 60’s The GS was there answer to GTO Pontiac. Thank you Lou for sharing ❤️💯👍👊

@GregCilano-lg4gf Hello Greg, yes, I did speak to about your beautiful 68 GS drop top. Simply a stunning car! I still have the photos on my phone.
Thank You, much appreciated! @@Vini-Pizza
My first car was a 1968 Skylark Custom in burnished brown with the 350 2bbl. I also had a signal red '69 GS400 hard top bucket seat console. The black plastic piece in question on the fire wall was a vacuum chamber for the inside vents to move from defrost to vent, a/c etc.

Hi John, Thank You! Greg
The Chevy rearend had "C" clips holding the axels in place. The BOP rearends had the axels held in place with 4 bolts at the end of the axel tubes at the brake backing plate. MUCH easier to replace axels or wheel bearings on the BOP cars. The ten bolt vs twelve bolt only refers to the backing plate. It is of no consequence in itself. The size of the ring gear is more important as for strength. Being a GS it has a posi.

HVAC vacuum reservoir is the cylindrical container on the firewall. Helps with function of mode control doors in AC system.

Like the white interior even though it harder to keep looking nice and I'm one who liked the rear end bumper of them glad to see one again
Happy to read what you like :-)
Hi Larry, Thank You for the positive feedback, for sure hard to keep white interior clean!! Greg
Beautiful Buick GS ! My buddy has a 1968 GS 400 Convertible just like this in Concours condition in a Light Blue Metallic. Every option including a 4 speed... Love these GS models. Thanks for posting Lou ! Happy New Year !

Most 'metallic' paint jobs are BORING! My dad bought a brand new 1965 Parisienne in metallic blue.....boring. The majority of cars are boring also.
Happy New Year, Lou! The styling on this car is just spectacular from every angle, and the white interior on a convertible no less, looks great, too. What a fantastic Buick! Thanks, Lou!

Beautiful GS 400 Convertible in that color combo. Had a 68 Cutlass Convertible in brown/black/black, so it is a familiar, similar vehicle, with exceptions (engine/interior/model). I actually like the Buick over the Oldsmobile for '68. Thanks to both of you for sharing.
Hi K B, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your car :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
WHO had????
So, this is just an alternative name for a Buick Skylark?
Is a Buick GS a Skylark?
Fast With Class: 1970 Buick Skylark GS 455
This paved the way at Buick for the Buick Skylark Gran Sport 455 (often shortened to GS 455), which featured Buick's new 455ci big-block that put out 360 hp (4,600 rpm) and 510 lb-ft of torque (2,800 rpm) in Stage 1 trim.
Gosh that’s nice Lou
Glad you like this one Popie
You know I had this car in cream with white interior. Smooth

Very nice. From Arizona myself. Yes, even, maybe especially, convertibles need A/C.
Happy to read "Very nice." :-)

Happy New Year Lou, looking forward to new videos! Nice Buick, loving the exhaust note!
Happy New Year Scotch Budmeister. Glad to share the videos with you :-)
Older cars from this era will run hotter today because those cars were designed to run on leaded gas that not only reduced engine wear but also allowed the cars to run cooler.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
@@loucostabile Don't mention it Pal.
Hi Lou, The nice thing about the GS especially compared to a Fairlane 500 GT or a Chevelle SS was not only were they wickedly fast but they were better equipped and rode and handled better.
Hi Terri, Thank you for sharing you thoughts about this car :-) Lou
Methinx you mean more LUXURY features on the Buicks? That is what separated them from the pack!
@@mr.blackhawk142 yes exactly 👍 but then you create a new conundrum; luxury and muscle are usually not synonymous
Happy new year, Lou. A gorgeous '68 Buick is an awesome way to start off the year.
Happy New Year United City_mc! Happy to read you enjoy this "gorgeous" car :-)
Another gr8 feature Lou thx!
Happy New Year!
Happy to read you enjoy this feature Audie! You're welcome. Happy New Year!
What a beautiful GS in that burnished brown color. That car is sporty, fast and has all the nice creature comforts of a Cadillac. Love it!! I have owned 78 and 79 Buick Regals. They were nice riding, had great power and were a pleasure to drive. I wish I had owned a GS though. Another great video Lou. Have a happy and great New Year.
Hi Randy, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Glad to read you had some nice Regals. Happy and great New Year to you too. P.S. Here is a regal you might like. Enjoy! th-cam.com/video/Shf7YDDrWNc/w-d-xo.html
That was a nice Turbo Regal. The color was awesome and being unrestored made it even better. My 79 was my first new car and I ordered it with the 301 V8 and not the turbo. It was silver with the silver landau and had red bucket seats. Wish it still had it. Thanks for linking me up with this Regal video Lou. I enjoyed it.
Thank you Randy! Greg
Beautiful

Happy New Year sir ! Keep the amazing vids coming !
Happy New Year Keep America 2A Strong ! I appreciate your encouraging words to keep going !
Everything is perfect on this car. The engine bay, the chrome, the paint, the interior. Lou you have done so many of these car stories and you have to know how convertibles never have A/C yet you are going hither and yawn and don't even notice the A/C until you had a question about something else under the hood that is part of the A/C. Again on a rare car like this a question that should always be asked is what unique and extra features does this car have and then feature it. I would say A/C on a 68 convertible would fit that criterion.
As always great video work and making sure you are showing all sides of the car in sunlight. Also you are a car detective sleuth. How do you find all these amazing cars.
Hi Bill, Happy to read the details you notice. I'll keep up the "car detective sleuth" work and happy to keep sharing with you, Lou
Bill, I appreciate the positive feedback, thank you, Greg
Saw it for sale for 39K, if you're interested the booster spray painted black. Chrome air cleaner lid looks sand blasted. Door lock knobs should be white to match, Cowl screen should be mesh, that ones from 1972.
Hi Nixa Eagle, Thanks for viewing and sharing, Lou
My pleasure sir
Lou, thanks for showing another Buick Skylark GS. This might be the best one you have shown thus far. They were extremely popular in the 1960s and 1970s, and I have seen similar models in recent years, so I wonder if they have crushed that many, which makes them ideal for restoration models. I hope that this showing gives people that idea.
Jed, you're welcome. High praise for this Buick.

How many convertibles do you see with factory air conditioning? This car must have been pricey back in the day but if you take car of a Buick they last a long time! Thx Lou!
Usually you could afford the convertible, or the air conditioning, not both. So to have both is quite a nice car. You're welcome Bradydog

Beautiful 1968 Buick GS 400! Love the color combination with the white interior.
Lou - Is this original paint? Don’t believe this was addressed in your video. 😊
Hi Robert, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Hmmm, the paint is so clean I'll guess the car has been repainted, but maybe it is original, Lou
Hi Robert, I had the car repainted in 2006 to the original burnished saddle color and interior in white to the original specs.
@@GregCilano-lg4gf beautifully done!
Beautiful car but that paint color in 1968 was not exclusive to the GS 400. My father had a new 1968 LeSabre Custom convertible with that exact same paint. When you research paint codes for 1968 Buicks, will find that only the Riviera was available with a few exclusive colors.
Hi John, Happy to read this car brings back memories of the color on your Fathers car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Thank You John for the clarification, yes all Buicks had burnished saddle color option in 1968, it was not offered in 1969, I appreciate your positive feedback! Greg
@@GregCilano-lg4gfIt is a beautiful color. I was just a kid at the time when my father bought his 1968 LeSabre but 55 years later I still remember how that paint just glowed in the sun when freshly waxed.
Nothing like the purr of a big block 455 in front of a turbo 400 tranny.
....just the way we like it :-)
It's a 400.
1968 GS 400 convertible I owned two of 2454 made.
Two of them is twice as nice :-)
Hello Lou! This is a great video. I saw it AT MCACN in November. Greg had the car listed for sale. I reached out to him numerous times but never got a response. Would you know if Greg still has this car? Thanks Lou!!
