Motor Trend Article

[Alan Faircloth]

Just got my new Motor Trend magazine and read a column by Matt Stone regarding Nicola Bulgari, designer and producer of SUPER expensive Bulgari watches, jewelry, silver etc. Apparently, he's a BUICK NUT! Owns 70 of them including an 87 GN. The article mentions that he went to Buick with the intent of trying to buy and have installed one of the turbo indy race motors (Robert Guerrero put one on the Indy pole in 1992 at over 230 mph). It doesn't say if he was successful in acquiring one of those motors, but I'm sure that money wasn't a reason. Apparently, he also owns a 70 GS 455 Stage 1 convertible.......another super rare Buick, and the LAST 99 Riviera Silver Arrow sold to a customer. The 70 Buicks is actually part of a larger 120 car collection.

VERY COOL STUFF!

>>"I fell in love with the Buicks," Bulgari said. "To me, they were the symbol of America. They had glamorous styling, personality, power and responsiveness." <<
