Haha, never thought about the porthole thing...
No, you just put 4 on one side. Nobody can see both sides of the car at the same time.
I think Buick Portholes were "Born from Prop Planes"

So, when are you trading the Cruze Eco for the Regal GS?

I honestly can't even remember when a Buick was offered with a manual transmission. Maybe back in the 50s or 60s? Back in the days of 3-speed and 4-speed manuals? I'm pretty sure no Buick has ever been offered with a 5- or 6-speed manual transmission before...
I think the GNX used to come in stick, but that was a time when Buick was a different kind of car
the regal and grand national never came with a manual transmission. they were all 4-speed autos
