3. Buick Broke Its Own Rules
In the ‘60s, specifically 1965, Buick had corporate bylaws that stated no Buick could have an engine larger than 400 cubic inches implemented in an intermediate platform. So every single Buick Skylark GS400 built in 1965 (16,500) and 1966 (13,800) were in direct violation of Buick rules because those engines were 401 cubic inches exactly. Not a word was said, no one was reprimanded. But for the 1967 model, the V8 engine was redesigned and was exactly 400 cubic inches. Some rules were meant to be bent.
