My old Buicks

Here are my girls...I've had the '53 for a little over a year, and it has new valves and lifters, a rebuilt carb, straightened intake and exhaust manifolds, new heat riser, rebuilt master cylinder (it had never been apart), boiled radiator, new this and that that has added up to $! But it's pretty much my dream car so it's worth it. It needs paint and front shocks...the front shocks are coming this winter, the paint won't happen for a few years at least, til my '65 Mustang gets done getting redone (and I haven't even taken it apart yet, but I have a bunch of new sheetmetal in my basement).

The '65 Skylark I've had for 3 and a half years...It's a great car! Another car I've always liked and found a great deal on. Like everything else I own it could use paint, as it has chips and lacquer checking. But it's a factory 300 4 barrel and still only has 88,000 miles, after I've put 17,000 on! I love the two tone with the white roof, plus it's my favorite color on a car--dark blue. It's just how I'd have ordered it, except I'd like a 4 speed! Hope you all like em!

And here's the Skylark...

OH MAN !!! What beautiful cars!!! See, one isn't enough...Supers nice.

Very nice indeed. You should feel very lucky and proud to own such nice Buicks... and you're just a young'un. Thanks for sharing.

Aaron, both cars are beautiful just as they sit. Congratulations on finding these great Buick treasures!

Aaron, it looks like you took the picture of the 53 at the "Goldeb Memories" show at the Sloan museum. I looked your Buick over, and had a little chat with you as I was leaving. Your 65 looks like a nice ride too

Thank you all for the nice comments! Old Guy, haven't forgot talking to you...I'll let you know when I get around to pulling a front shock--hopefully you have a few sitting around!
