by Leroy Drittler

Leroy Horn is a mild-mannered friendly individual who started Horn’s Auto Sales & Salvage at his home in 1961 as a part-time business. In 1975, he decided to make it his full-time job. Horn lightheartedly recalls that it seems he made more money working it as a part-time business.

2. The “California” script on this 1967 Buick Skylark California GS is reported as very rare and hard to find. This one has the script on both rear fenders, but the only way to get the script is to buy the complete car.
