North Carolina Dealer Has a Wait List for Buick Grand Nationals

How much would you pay for a Buick Grand National?

Customers apparently are so eager for the model that they've been signing up on a wait list with a Liberty Buick GMC dealership in Charlotte, N.C.--despite the fact that the Grand National doesn't even exist yet, Kinja reported via GM Authority.

"Customers have already started calling about test driving one of these new cars," dealership owner Scott McCorkle told GM Authority. "We are adding their names to a waiting list."

The report of course provides grist for the rumor mill, which has been speculating about a forthcoming Grand National.

Holding a waiting list for a Grand National model and a new GNX vehicle, the dealership said that it expects the first production examples of the new cars to be on its lot sometime late next year.

Buick hasn't made any formal declarations regarding a new Grand National model, but GM Authority has uncovered documents revealing that General Motors wants to trademark both "Grand National" and "GNX."

The trademark applications filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office show that GM wants the terms for "motor land vehicles, namely automobiles and structural parts thereof," seeming to point toward Grand National and GNX models in the near future.  

The first Grand National model launched in 1982, while the GNX came in 1987.
