A Few More Buicks.......

Or .... Maybe also a 1952 Super Riviera............. I really like that one.

GREAT pics Nickies!! LOVE those 40's & 50's Buicks!!

Great pics, great cars!

Have them all, love them all.

Looking at those pics I can almost hear the whine of that Straight 8.  I love the post war thru '57 Buicks in particular.  This '55 body style is my favorite.

@jack-dodds The whine of the big 320 straight eight Buick is something I will never forget. It was impressive and very smooth at idle after the car was fully restored. On the road, It was a real locomotive with a lot of torque for its time.

I have an anecdote I will always remember.

In 2003, After the engine break-in period following the car's complete detailed frame-up restoration, I took it for a drive between Las Vegas and Primm at the California border line. This stretch of I-15 is mostly flat desert with a few hills. When I pushed the beast on the road, I was doing mostly 100 MPH and all the cars in front were giving me right of way certainly wondering who was crazy enough to scare them in their rear view mirrors with an antique car still accelerating and driving that fast.

Of course, I came back home at a more reasonable speed LOL 

This was not the end of the story ......that same day, I parked at my office. My shop manager came out and saw a paint chip on the hood. He said " you hit a mosquito with gall stones". LOL

LOL!  A mosquito with gallstones..........

What a great story. I'll bet most of us have a moment like that that left a huge impression on us. 

@nickies Great story. Those are all beautiful Buicks.

Here’s a 1936 Buick Special actual and in 1:43

The actual car was my grandfather’s until after the war when he sold it to my father for one dollar and bought one of the first ‘46 Buicks off the line when automobile production resumed. John Roberts did this Brooklin in factory correct Gun metal Gray to replicate our family Buick.
