Buick touted theCalifornia as "The Distinctive Personal Car for Americana on the GO".The merchandising creation of the West Coast's Mickey Garrett, the CaliforniaGS became one of Buick's entries into what is now often known as a junior musclecar. The intent of these autos were to provide the visual impact of the era'ssuper cars with the low maintenance and price of a more economical car, whilemaintaining reasonable performance levels. When reviewed with these thoughts inmind the California GS delivered quite nicely. They were fitted with the smallblock GS drive train and the exterior received the full treatment includingvinyl top, chrome moulding package, GS emblems, and special California scripts.1969 was the last year ofproduction for the California GS. The car was for the first timefeatured in Buick's big brochure. A two-page color picture of the thin pillarcoupe and pictures of the again standard bench seat interior were includedalong with equipment descriptions. Tom McCahill tested the car and recorded a0-60 time of 9.5 seconds and a top speed of 110 mph. Again the car camewith Buick's 280 hp 350-4 engine but now it was mated to the new Turbo 350transmission. Custom California emblems again graced the rear fenders and therear marker lights were plain red without Buick's normal 350 or 400 script.Vinyl tops, as with previous years, were standard fare with the California'sdistinctive GS logo on the sail panel.
