Mystery chassis plate


Recommended Posts

I thought for sure it was 1965-66 Buick Wildcat, but that kit's chassis has three small differences: the rear of the chassis is W-shaped to match the bumper, the tops of the wheel wells are open, and there's a middle U-joint just to the rear of the second crossmember. The rest looks identical. Hmmm...

That's from either a '69/'70 Wildcat, or a '66 Wildcat reissue kit.  '65 and '66 annual kits were longer at the back, shaped to fit the rear bumper, but the '69 and '70 bumpers were straighter so the piece was trimmed.

BINGO!!! I found the Wildcat kit in my stash and the plate was missing. Thank You!!!!
