Ladies and gentlemen, your Official 2021 W-Body.com Slogan: The Cult Is Us

With all the new RWD high HP stuff coming in the last 10 years or so now, I have a hard time thinking these FWD drive cars will have a big collector market. I'm guessing a small niche market and a cult following for these cars will be around for a long time yet. I've been following Corvairs, owed a corvair, and 15 years ago $10,000 was a ton of money for a restored Corvair. The guys on the forums back then said you don't build one of these to make money. Back then $10,000 would have bought the nicest Corvair out there. That was typically a 1965-1969 Corvair. Now I've seen them sell into the $30k mark. That whole market has changed. I'm sure these w-bodies will have some value going forward, but who really knows what the market could like in 10 to 20 years for a W-body.

HEMMING’S ARTICLE: Is now the time to jump on midsize front-drive cars like this 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible? https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2020/12/20/is-now-the-time-to-jump-on-mid-size-front-drive-cars-like-this-1994-oldsmobile-cutlass-supreme-convertible

So I've had 2 GTP's so far, but this is my first Buick Regal GS. bought it from a grandpa and it was very basic looking when I bought it. Since buying it a couple weeks ago, I've tinted the windows, installed 4 Buick puddle door lamps, white face gauges, scangauge ii, black-housing headlights, zzp F-body brakes, tinted the taillights, installed red reflective lettering on bumper, custom front license plate and holders to match car theme, and took out the window and shift bezel wood trim and painted it flat black to match the rest of the car. I'll post pics when I get it all done, still in the process of some of it

I've been told that my two W's will be valuable someday. No matter, that's not why I have them. I enjoy them for what they are and how much joy they give me. If they do end up gaining in monetary value, that's great. If not, oh well. They're not going anywhere.

The general population will get bored of the generic 4 door sedans and station wagon SUV transgendered vehicles, perhaps that land battleship feeling of driving large American cars will be sought for the nostalgic feeling and W-bodies could feel that niche.

this is what it looked like when I bought it, still working on getting updated pics since redoing things
