This is a video of the full line of 1977 Buick models from a recent brochure I restored for future Car Tales episodes. Just some visuals and music to share while I work on the Car Tales projects. I hope you enjoy! Compared to my previous efforts, this one is certainly... different. Hopefully in a good way. ;)

Very nicely put together, this video! I remember seeing the downsized '77 GM B and C body cars for the first time back in the fall of 1976. GM really did its homework! What I would like to see next: A really nice video covering the 1977 Oldsmobiles.

Totally brings back the memory when my dad brought home the new 77 Regal the new car smell, the feel soft seats, the metallic dark red paint the way the car rode. There definitely was a feel that cannot be duplicated in today's cars.

This was great work because it was so fitting of the times and so interactive too. You mesh so much together so well with the era. Just imagine if they used things like this to sell the cars. I like the fact you put the years on the cars. The scary part the Skylark would be considered a large car today in 2019. The only car still in production from that era is The Regal.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Standing Ovation to you! Great music and live clips, amazing 70s disco dancing and the most accurate and detailed look of the entire 1977 model year lineup from Buick; one that included the LeSabre-based Riviera that was a stop-gap, two-year run before the new E-Body, front wheel drive ones (along with the Oldsmobile Toronado and the ever-sexy Cadillac Eldorado) of 1979 were ready. I miss the 70s so much! 🐰

This video showcases your talent of taking the static and otherwise mundane and creating art. The way you make each page of this brochure come to life, interspersed with touchstones of pop culture from the era, well Tofer, you just knock it out of the park. You wisely chose a brochure that had lots of beautiful photography, and not just pages of type. Love the added layers of orchestra, "Movie" bumper stars, and the mature dance team. Also enjoy how you overlay the photograph on top of the floral design at 4:14. So much creativity and technique in this Video Brochure. Oh and the way you recap each Buick model is a nice touch. As with all of your videos, you have a real knack of choosing the perfect music as well. It all comes together in this video, as well as the Olds and Chrysler Video Brochures. Love these so much!

I'm so glad you noticed that! The original version of the video just had a new brochure page appear but the visual did not match the crescendo. I went back and found a Buick commercial from a similar year that had that eagle land on a Buick logo. It took a while to get just the right speed and timing, but I was really happy with the way it turned out.

Buicks were all my family owned through the late 80s. We've had many on the list here (ie, Estate Wagon, Regal, Regency, Park Ave.). Such beautiful lines on Buicks. FFWD to today, not so much) Pretty pitiful now. Where do you find the music Tofer? I always find myself sad when the videos are ending. The last portion of this one is incredible!

While the 77 model year was the end of the big bodied GM intermediates, and the beginning of the downsized full size cars, there's still something about the Buicks that are appealing, it's that the big cars still looked impressive in1976, they were tanks, but they got better in the early eighties thru1985 the styling had a look all their own, too bad we don't have that today

I can’t imagine Buick found many takers for the “Special” version of the Century coupe. It was the Barr bones economy leader with a V6 and manual transmission! A 3 speed, I believe. Not sure if it was floor or column shift. One of the sharpest cars I remember my car salesman father bringing home was a red Regal t-top coupe with red leather/vinyl interior and chrome rally wheels on white letter tires.

So '77 was the last year of the A-body Regals...I thought they were done a good year earlier if not 2. My dad had a '75 Regal coupé when I was a kid. Beautiful car. Dark green with black interior and a black vinyl top, dual carburetors, all luxury features, except a/c. Got a deal on it because the guy who special ordered it didn't want it because they forgot to install the a/c.

Tofer , your videos are a refreshing journey away from all the clickbait saturation on KZfaq. In this world of multi million subs, never get discouraged by the haters and trolls that are included with success. We are entertained by your uniqueness, so no need to worry how you reach your buildup. I’m a Lincoln fan, but I loved watching a Buick brochure presented in your style. But as usual, your videos give so much more that just pictures, they evoke emotion.
