The new Buick Regal GS has just taken the leap from ordinary Buick vehicle to being one of the legendary Buick greats. The Buick GS is becoming the newest Buick to become one of the classic collectible Buick vehicles. The classic car insurance firm,Buick Vehicles are Becoming Collectibles Articles Hagerty’s Insurance, has recently come out with their “2012 Hot List” in which they list excellent modern vehicles with a list price below $100,000. Often the vehicles on the list are expected to become classic collectibles in the future, and they are definitely right about the Buick Regal GS!

The company believes that the GS will be known as a collectible vehicle in the future. Hagerty’s Insurance was particularly impressed with the decision for the Regal to come with a standard manual transmission. They wrote “at a time when allegedly more sporting makes don't offer real three-pedal manual transmissions, Buick is doing it with the Regal GS.”

“The Regal GS is a unique and thrilling vehicle for the Buick brand,” said General Motors North America President Mark Reuss. “As someone who drove a classic Skylark to prom and owned other incredible Buicks like an '87 GNX, I can say it deserves to be viewed among the best Buick has built.”

The Regal GS is not the only Buick vehicle to have embraced the list of Buick classic collectibles. Many Buicks have proven that they are worth collecting over the years. After the “2012 Hot List” was released, Hagerty’s Insurance teamed up with Buick to work together to compile a list of the top ten most collectible Buicks ever. Some of the Buicks listed hold values well over the $100,000 mark.

The top ten collectible Buick vehicles that the two companies worked together to name are the 2012 Buick Regal GS, 1932 Model 90 sport phaeton, 1937 66C Century convertible coupe, 1940 Super Model 59 Woody Estate Wagon, 1947 Roadmaster Woody Wagon, 1949 Roadmaster Convertible, 1953 Skylark, 1963 Riviera, 1970 GSX Stage 1 Hardtop Coupe, and the 1987 GNX.

”In order to be included on the annual Hagerty Hot List, the vehicle must be geared toward the driving enthusiast beyond just being a form of transportation,” said Hagerty.” Like the other Buick classics listed here, the 2012 Regal GS will be remembered more than most of its peers for many years down the road.”
