====1960s====
An Electra 225 paced the [[Daytona 500]] race in both 1960 and 1963. In 1961, a new [[Fireball V6]] engine was introduced and the [[Buick Skylark|Skylark]] nameplate returned as the top model of the new [[Buick Special|Special]] compact car line. The Buick Special was named [[Motor Trend Car of the Year]] in 1962. Also in 1962, [[Buick Wildcat|Wildcat]] was introduced as a trim level on Invicta and became its own model the following year. In 1963 the [[Buick Riviera|Riviera]] was introduced as its own model. In the mid-1960s Buick started officially selling German-built [[Opel]] cars through its North American dealerships. For 1967, [[radial tire]]s became available as an option on all full-size Buicks.<ref>LaChance, David (July 2006).
