I am pretty sure your hunch about the graphics on the Buick is correct. I found an old for sale ad for this car from the same owner sans the lettering, it had Rallye wheels and the dual quad set up was not installed, but came with it.
Thanks for sharing your photos, Jean. Nice stuff there.
I would have to agree about the graphics on the Buick, especially the slogan on the trunk lid which is a take off of the Oldsmobile ad campaign of the '80s or '90s.
Question: Is this Don Biederman's Nova restored (with new sheet metal) or is it a replica?
Edit: Just answered my own question with a little research...
As for Biederman's legendary '77 Oxford 250-winning Nova, it is being supplied to the show in its pre-restored condition by owner John Hutchins, and thanks to the efforts of Canadian racing photographer Dave Franks. Last year, the car was discovered in storage on the property of Hutchins' business, Heart Lake Used Auto Parts, in Brampton, ON.
"John Hutchins owned the car and had it tucked away years ago," explained Franks. "We went looking for a Nova in order to build a Biederman replica, but we lucked out and found the original. The restoration is a work in progress, but we will have the unfinished body hung on the frame in time for the CME show."

The fake patina is done terribly.
