HISTORY
The Gran Sport name has been used on several high-performance cars
built by Buicksince 1965. In the GM brands hierarchy, Buick was
surpassed in luxury and comfort appointments only by Cadillac,
which did not produce performance models. As a result, the Buick GS
series were the most opulently equipped GM sport models of their
era.
