Just love it when a Buick takes best of show. We need a thread just for that!

Great idea for a thread.

Do you want to start it?

**JohnD1956** · October 2nd, 2012

I would love to start one. But alas, none of my cars has ever taken best of show. I have never had any of my cars judged at a BCA event and I have never won any top quality awards.

Awesome color combination. She's a real beauty.

Bill: The car is located in Ohio west of Akron and I'm going to finally see if I can purchase it.

Hooray! Congratulations!

Bill,

I enjoyed following your restoration project from the beginning to the addition of the fender skirts. Your car looks fantastic from all the love and hard work you and your garage buddies did during restoration.

I have a 52' Buick Super that I want to add skirts to and was interested in what you found for your 53' Super Convertible. Are they metal or fiberglass?

Hi Don,

They are fiberglass. I thought they would be easier to handle than steel. The clips that come with them don't work as well as they could. They are little 'c' clamps that are not deep enough to grab both the fender and the skirt too well. A fellow in Hemet, Ca is a good source for either fiber glass or steel.

More congratulations are in order...... Just finally cured the rear main seal leak on fourth try. Used rope style seal soaked in oil and maybe a little more carefully. I think a rope had been used before w/o success. I don't care now as long as it keeps dry. (Car was finished in 2010.....)
