dei Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Can't say I drove the Special recently but while sorting the garage decided to fire her up to keep the oil circulated plus it helps give off a bit of heat even with the door cracked open. Does that count here... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibarlaw Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 After our snow left we has a 50 degree day here in PA. So we did a 13 mile loop in the 1925. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuickBob49 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Got the 39 Roadmaster out yesterday and today for some rides around town. Nice and clear and 50 degrees. However snow may be in the longer-term forecast. Two inches will absolutely paralyze Portland! Having intermittent charging issues--sometimes charging, sometimes not. Need to check it out. Loose belt or failing generator. Hmm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibarlaw Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Well after last weeks 15" snowfall we drove 10' forward and then back. Just liked to see the tracks in the snow. It compacted to 4" and the front axle was ploughing a bit of snow. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooklyn Beer Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Having a nice and sunny 70 degree day here in North Texas. Tomorrow and tuesday will be a couple degree's warmer even. Got everyone started up and out for a bit. Wednesday the bottom falls out leading into friday morning of around 12 degree's. Needless to say antifreeze check were on order all the way around. This will be the first time the temps have gotten this low in about 5 years. Going to stick around for a bit too but moderating at least into the 40's by next Tuesday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooklyn Beer Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Yeah Ben I don't know if I am buying that forecast either. Long ways off. 10-12 saturday morning is what they are saying. The wind is going to be up though for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Hagen Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Took the 51 convert for a nice drive Saturday, was not starting very well realized my big 12 volt battery was 5 years old and not spinning it over fast enough. Put in a new battery and it starts right up. Waiting for my efi setup to come and hoping it make the starting and running of the old car much better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your results are anything like mine you will be a happy camper. almost 20,000 miles and NO problems. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buicknutty Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I too love seeing the nice pics, here in Ontario the weather is forecast to be above freezing for the first time in over a month. At least all of our infrastructure is built for extreme cold, my thoughts and prayers to those recovering from the cold in Texas, and other places. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dei Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Stretching things a bit here but it has been so long not driving that I just have to say I backed her out of the garage to let the sun heat up the top since it has been down for so long, before trying to latch it down and possibly tear the now old top. As stated, it's a stretch... but will be going for a drive for real to fill the tank back up giving me full credit. LOL 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobSoCal Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Thanks John! I've owned it since 2017. The previous owner bought it in 1979 from his neighbor which was a retired buick plant manager and would order a new buick every year. I checked in with the previous owner a couple times a year until he finally cried uncle and sold it to me. Has the 403 and posi 43k miles. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodneybeauchamp Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) We did a local Coffee n Cars at McLaren Vale today, about a 65mile round trip in our new ‘63 Skylark. Had a small group of five from our town of Victor Harbor go together with a 70’s Camaro, ‘66 Mustang notch back, ‘78 Cadillac coupe De Ville and ‘59 Singer Gazelle. First time we had been to this event and was the debut for the Skylark. Lots of interesting cars, but only one Buick. After we had a nice breakfast in Willunga, then we stopped on the way home at a strawberry farm for ice cream and pics. Let’s say it was a bracing run for us with a 6.45am start. Told Jo the top doesn’t work 😀😀😀😀😀 very well, but she was rugged up plenty. I’m pleasantly surprised how this Buick just sips Premium Unleaded 98 as compared to the healthy diet of my ‘63 Riviera, Rodney 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 Edited March 7, 2021 by rodneybeauchamp Add photos and text (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvelde Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Have not had the Buick out much due to the weather and working on our remote garage. Decided it needed some exercise and also gas, so since the weather is really nice, took it for a 25 mile cruise around the area. Having our AACA meeting in Waxahachie in a couple of weeks and need to drive more to shake the cobwebs out in preparation. Here are a couple of shots of the garage, still getting everything organized. John 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
