The Gran Sport name has been synonymous with high-performance cars built by General Motors under the Buick brand since 1965. In GM's brand hierarchy, Buick was second only to Cadillac in luxury and comfort, making the Buick GS series the most opulently equipped GM performance models of their time.

Built on the thin-pillar coupe chassis, it came equipped with the 340 ci/260 hp engine and the Super Turbine 300 transmission. The bench seats were standard, and Buick kept accessories to a minimum to maintain an affordable price point. Car Life magazine tested a 1967 GS California in their June issue, achieving a quarter-mile time of 16.7 seconds at 81 mph and a top speed of 105 mph. Their detailed review provides an excellent description of the car's performance and is a must-read for enthusiasts wanting to learn more about the '67 California GS.
