I've had these for a couple years now and thought this may be interesting to some. My granpa used to be the general manager at the local Buick store here in Peoria back in the 80's. After years of trying to get my grandpa to let me have these, he finally gave them to me as a Christmas gift a few years back. Let me know what you think.

What are they, coasters?

Yes they are coasters. Sorry I should have mentioned that. Also has a coaster holder that says "Letter Perfect Delivery". I would venture to say I'm probably the only one on the board with a set of these. Notice the bump on the hood of the Regal.

There is some interesting Buick trivia. Who made them? Were they a special order deal, dealer only, Buick VIP? What's the story?

My grandpa was the general manager/half owner of the Buick dealership here in Peoria back in the 80's. So I imagine this was only something the higher ups at dealerships could get there hands on. I'll get ahold of him and find out what the whole story is. Unfortunately, he didn't care about "Going Fast With Class" or otherwise he might have a low mileage GN sitting in his garage.
