Fat_Tony Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 My name is Tony, retired Marine after 22 years and new owner of a beautiful 53 Buick Special. I'm not a car guru or overly mechanically inclined so hopefully everyone is ready for an obnoxious amount of questions..lol 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine Gun Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Welcome Tony. Very nice car. As for not being overly mechanically inclined, not to worry, you'll get there with the abundance of expertise and help you're going to find here.

JohnD1956 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 53's are so great! And looks like you found a really nice one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr. Buick Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Welcome and a nice looking car! And thank you for your service. Autozone will have a few thing but not much. Good for brakes, ignition, maybe filters. For the good stuff use Bob's Automobilia and CARS, or ask here... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiKi5156B Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 It looks like seat covers were put on way back then. You might have a well preserved original upholstery under them. Love that dark green they used in that era. I’ve got a buddy that works at NAPA and I’m amazed at how much they have available for my old cars. Try them. I love 53s, have a Super 2dr.
