smithbrother Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Paul, your color combo is interesting on your Buick. Does the top match the interior color?I assume it was originally an all black car?Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Falabella Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Dale, yep car was a 15 footer. Roof was 25 foot,had to be done and AAA was just too boring. Some of the interior metal was redone but some was left original and appears to be Nile green(X) a Spring color option which would have been available on this car. Just had some chrome done, so now it's a 7 1/2 footer! To answer your question yes the roof kinda matches the interior.Paul in NYC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 TTTI'll never forget the first time I saw this car and met it's owner. In Plano. Could not believe the detail of restoration and Willie shared pictures of the restore. Then the sideways blowing rain came..... It won it's preservation award that night too I believe?

Bleach Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 It's a fantastic car but why the huge boost in price? Were we getting a discounted price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old-tank Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Discounted price? Here, always There were some other posts that I saw earlier and are now gone. Any explanation from the moderators? ANY exposure will help it sell.Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Two posts removed, first one was a negative remark and disregarded the Buy Sell rule "Please do not post your opinions of prices being asked" and the second one which followed which didn't fit without the previous. You've got a PM Willie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
