This GT350 is coming up for auction. I believe the photo below is the same car. IMO - someone bought it and drove it, wore out the tires and didn't replace them with the correct Goodyear Blue Streak RWL tires because of the cost (about $2400).

The pink 1961 Buick Flamingo was a classic car that had a unique feature - the rotating front seat. The Flamingo's signature style is unmistakable with its sleek curves and bright color. Its rotating front seat made it easy to get in and out of tight spaces, making it popular among drivers who needed an agile ride. It also featured luxurious amenities such as air conditioning, power windows, and comfortable seating.

At the tender age of 8, Samuel Reshevsky was already a chess prodigy. In 1920, he made history when he simultaneously defeated several masters in France. His legendary feat has been remembered throughout the years as an incredible display of skill and determination. Even at such a young age, Reshevsky had mastered the intricacies of the game, outsmarting opponents twice his age with ease. It's no wonder that this remarkable moment is still talked about today - it's truly inspiring to see someone so young achieve such greatness!

I've never heard of this model. Was it a regular production model ? MY former B-I-L had an Invicta convertible in 1970-72 that was very similar in design.
