My 42 Buick and the Veteran's Parade

This is my 42 Buick Special leading the Anzac Day Parade [ The Veteran's Parade in the land of OZ] in April this year at 6.00 am

It carries the pennant of the 2/9th Australian Division

1941 and 42 Buicks were Staff cars for Australian Generals
and were left in civilian colours with penants and formation signs only

Good to see veteran cars out with the veterans.

Re: My 42 Buick and the Veteran's Parade

Thank you, Dave. Neat car. Love the interior. Is that correct dash and is the seat pattern original? I want my 1950 to look like that!

Ben, That is the Special dash , the seats out here were trimmed at a higher level than the US as we only assembled one model [Special] and these were done in Bedford cord or leather , this would have been the top GM car assembled in OZ
