Ever wondered what Hollywood celebrities, athletes, or musicians have owned a Turbo Buick of some type?
After all, they’re people too, love cars just as much as the next guy, and probably wanted that “cool guy image.”
It also helped that they had the money to purchase these awesome GM G-bodies back when they were new.
We did some previous posts on Hollywood celeb owners of the Buick Grand National, as well as one for music artists who owned a Buick Grand National.
We found a few more famous Buick Regal owners and are sharing them below.
