I dunno about that. Duesy side pipes were functional. The Buick "ventiports" were strictly non-functional ornaments.I believe their original intent was to simulate general venting of hot air out of the engine compartment. What I find amusing was 3 ventiports on a Buick signified a cheaper model. The "4 holer" was the top model. Maserati used three.MinisterofDOOM wrote:Nah, Buick copied Deusenberg
