Paul from PA Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Woke up this morning with about three inches of fresh snow, no Buicks rides for awhile. I did have time to reflect and figure out how many Buicks I have owned so far. I keep track of all my car purchases for some reason or no reason. I have owned 38 different Buicks thus far, I currently have 4. Of those 38 I have driven on the road, fully licensed and insured, 16 different ones. I have bought with the intention of reselling 15 and parted out 7. My very first car for road use was a 1963 Riviera. The oldest one I ever owned was a 1932 and the newest is a 1993 Roadmaster which I still drive on occasion.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul from PA Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Of those, we both owned one of them. 1955 special two door hardtop from California. I still have the old plate. The last I heard the car was somewhere in the Dayton PA area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Probably only five:1934 Buick 34-57 is an AACA Grand National Senior, and previously served as our Tour-Driver for 12 years -- we still are considering putting this one up for sale to a really good home.1937 Roadmaster 80C Phaeton (Convertible Sedan) - was New York City Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia's personal Parade Car1914 B-37 Touring - recently passed along to a trusted friend who will continue to tour with this gem1971 LeSabre red convertible - probably should have fixed the leaky transmission and just kept it, rather than buying the money pit/1966 Mustang GT convertible1982 Century V-6 - Certainly the LEAST RELIABLE car we ever owned - purchased new, the relays for the electric cooling system fans never worked properly, resulting in haphazard overheating - usually when in line for the bank window, and you had nowhere to pull out, or in heavy traffic and no breakdown lane. - finally gave it away...and then one who got away -- a neighbor sold his 1996 Roadmaster - always garaged 37,000 mile original, but misplaced my phone number..... and now it is a Taxicab (#@$%&*@) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ol' yeller Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I've only owned 13. They range from several '64-65 Skylarks, to a couple of '69 Rivieras, to three 1990 Reattas. Sprinkle in a couple daily driver cars like a '76 Skylark Hatchback and an '86 Century 4 door and there you have it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Schramm Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I am guessing about 20 that I have owned starting with a '63 Skylark station wagon. Then maybe 150-200 as company cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The first 33 are Buicks. This is a list of cars I actually owned with an attachment to.

allcars Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Snowy days are indeed good for thinking about Buick's remembered...thanks for starting this thread, Paul. Lots of fun, friends and adventures in every one of these lists, I'm sure. The count here is 42, starting with a 63,000-mile one-owner 1950 Super Convertible, bought for $25 in 1967. The '40 Roadmaster Convertible is the only one we still have. Most were in good "used car" condition, only a few restored, and a few were parts cars. Some we had for months, others for years. A few I've kept track of, most not...I hope that they are all still out there, somewhere. Attached is a scan of my 1965 Buick Collectors Club of America membership card (predecessor of the BCA, which was founded in 1966).
