    I just purchased a 1973 Comet. Old sticker on the quarter panel has a picture of a cat and says Comet Kitten. Was that an option or some ones imagination?

    It was a dealer package....I believe in Colorado area??? I wrote an article about these cars for the Maverick/Comet Club newsletter years ago. I had nothing to go on but the advertising for the package. I would love to see some pictures of your car. Thanks

    Not sure what to do with her. Needs some work but a very solid start. Came with a white halo roof that has been removed by the last owner whom was going to do a restoration on it. Does need some paint and body work but a very solid car.

    Thank-you. Pretty funky roof treatment. At our age we remember funky!

    X2 on the orange/orange. My wife calls my Comet an asteroid....lol. I nick-named it The Thunder Egg..... so a Comet Kitten ranks higher than old space rocks. Very nice Buick BTW.

    Nice Buick -- Very good cruiser! Welcome from Windy City! Wondering about the rear bumper -- has it been modified?
