Buick, Portholes, and the Cadillac Allard

Interesting take on the history and politics of Buick: [sorry, removed as inactive]

Not sure that all of that is historically accurate or factual, but it is a nice opinion piece.

The article ends with an open statement; I am not sure if the author ran out of room on the system they are using, or what.

Cadillac Allards were Allard sports cars with Cadillac V8 Engines. The theory presented here that Buick first gained portholes as a reference to Cadillac Allards is fun. With portholes showing up on the new Cadillacs the cycle has come full circle I suppose.

Meanwhile, I am thrilled to see that the Allard company is back in production!

you can find them at http://www.allardj2x.com/index.php where they are shipping rolling chassis with your choice of powerplants for just under $100K.

Guess what one of the offered power plants is? yup, a RWD Northstar.

Clicking on the Buick link with the .ws domain got me a promotional video to buy web hosting from .ws and refer others for income. There were no links to skip it, and after 4:16 it just stopped, no Buick article.
