The Bug That’s Actually A Buick! - Hot Rod Network

Robert Freeman’s “Berlin Buick” 1959 Beetle is christened as such because there’s a whole lot of Buick wrapped in that Volkswagen shell.

WHOA! Wasn't this engine used by both Buick & Olds? There was a T/F car that ran 2 of these engines, injected & could run with the Chryslers. Shubert & Herbert? Can see the car in my mind. Around 1962 or 1963?
