    'Buick Roadmaster Dynaflow' song by The Remains

    You know that songs about Buicks are far and few.
    This Buick song was on the "Car Talk" radio show.

    It was a Saturday morning and I had the radio tuned to my favorite radio program, "Car Talk". I walked into the kitchen and I heard, "Buick Roadmaster Dynaflow" in a song that was playing. I said, "They are singing about my car" and I stopped dead in my tracks to listen. I knew I had to find that CD so I went online and did a search and found the group who sang the song. They are called, "The Remains" from 1967. I found the song they sang on the radio called, "Big Ol' Dynaflow" and purchased the CD online.
    The CD arrived and I plopped it into the CD player. All I can say is I from the first song to the last you can close your eyes and instantly float back to the times you shared a root beer float at the A & W Drive-in or cruisin' down Main Street in Anytown, USA with your friends from high school. I highly recommend this CD to any baby-boomer who wants to go back in time to those fin-tailed cars and wonderful memories of the 50's and 60's. It's a MUST for BUICK owners on "Cruise Night".
    Here is the link to The Remains Website

    A verse from the "Big Ol' Dynaflow" song:
    (Background about the song - a guy is tired of his girlfriend telling him about his "addiction to chrome and steel" so he hits the road...)
    "I hit the road in my Buick Dynaflow, the one true love I know. She's a Roadmaster, nothing gets passed her, a big Ol' Dynaflow."

    Another track on the CD is, 'A Man's Best Friend is His Automobile'. It's obvious these guys not only sang, they owned classic cars! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/image...lins/wink.gif" alt="" />
