MrObsessive Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Even by the start of the '60's, GM was already thinking "Psychedelic"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 https://www.curbsideclassic.com/blog/1961-buick-convertible-tops-in-designer-fabrics/ As stated in the article, these never made it any farther than the concept/idea stage, but nothing is stopping you from doing it on a 1:25 scale '61 Buick.

'70 Grande Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 My parents had 4 family-room "lounge" chairs in that Black-n-White pattern seen at the right-edge of the photo... my dad's poker-playing buddies would come over on Saturday nights for a "late-in-the-evening" poker match, and after drinking Manhattans for a few hours, they'd say looking at those chairs they were sittin'-in might make 'em puke... pretty sure that happened more than a few times!!!

Houndstooth is still a popular pattern/fabric, and was a '69 Camaro interior fabric option, too. I've seen it on other automotive interiors, too, and IIRC some aftermarket company printed houndstooth pattern decal sheets as well...Scale Motorsport, maybe? Pictured below, Mark's living room chairs: Regarding that polka dot top, how would you keep a top that white clean? Those polka dots would fade after a few months, too, I bet. No idea what that orange fabric is...😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollySipper Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I bet they were trying to figure out ways to make their cars more flashy after losing the fins and such from a couple years prior....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedotwo Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Might work for a display piece if you could find a scale girl figure with a similar dress to go along with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forthlin Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I had a '63 Buick Lesabre convertible back in 1972-73 that had a leopard print top. I wish I still had a picture of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Thibodeau Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 For a second, I tought I saw the Wonder Bread Vega funny-car of yore... The livery was inspired by the bread wrapper. The dots on the Buick look strangely like that... CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
