The list price was $5,000, making it far and away the most expensive model offered by Buick that model year. This example is painted Mandarin Red.

ur featured 1968 Fairlane 500, powered by a 428 Cobra Jet, has the “Day 2” look. It is a one-owner car. Glenn Wells, of Longview, Texas, went to the local Pegues-Hurst Ford dealership and checked off several options on the dealer order form which included special-order Oxford Gray paint and the 427 Cobra V-8. That engine was discontinued, thus its replacement was the new 428 CJ. Glenn ordered the car strictly for drag racing. It is one of only 22 Fairlane 500s built with this engine/transmission combination, and of this group, was the only one originally painted in this color.
