  1. My Dad drove one of these as a milkman for Urbandale Farms Dairy, Delavan, WI back in the mid 30s.
  2. Wonderful. Clean it, fix the seats and drive it - a lot.
  3. I always liked the 65-66 Sport Furies. IMO one of the very few cars that looks better with the factory fender skirts.
  4. No Marauder scripts or ID on the 66s except the air cleaner. The sporty version was the S55 with buckets and console and emblems on the quarters. I came close to buying this one which had the 428 "Super Marauder".
  5. Welcome! Buicks are very well represented here.
  6. I came very close to buying one of these new in 1978. It was fully loaded, with the 400 engine and two tone burgundy paint, but I couldn't handle the payment. Two years later I bought a used 78 Olds 98 Regency with the 403, one of the best cars I ever owned.
  7. I used the VA Gen 4 in my 63 back in 2007. The stock radio would not clear but research back then showed just about any single DIN aftermarket head would. I used a Pioneer unit plus added gauges in the ashtray space and cut the VA controls into the console trim. I actually built a fake stock radio front to save the trim bezel but decided not to use it. Today I would not cut any original parts and would figure out a remote solution. That 63 was the last car I modified for a modern stereo.
  8. Welcome aboard, what a great car and a wonderful family history of ownership! I am looking forward to following your progress.
