avgwarhawk Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Would not be a BS&S without a Buick out front needing service! It is a neat idea really. And when you think you have completed your BS&S the Buick Bugle should dispatch someone to take pictures and make a completed article of your creation and idea of what( and probably darn close) to what a Buick Sales & Service would have looked like back in the day. Let's face it...it is becoming a working museum. Edited March 24, 2020 by avgwarhawk (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Service? I'm seeing a banner "New for 1936, Buick ROADMASTER" hanging across the front of the building.

Couple slits just below the knee cap, insert a camera on the end of a tube into one and a drill bit into the other and go at it. Anybody here could could do it I'm sure. Willie probably has. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just surprised that you didn't do the surgery yourself with a pocket knife....you know, being a Marine and all!

Lots of scaffold climbing involved in what's coming up and the doc says not to plan on that for a couple months. Glad to hear you think I've got a lot done, but can't agree. There's always things coming up that pulls me away from both the garage and the cars and then there's the maintenance and upkeep of the landscaping of the "Gardens"... days and life for that matter are just too short. If ever down south please do drop by, rockin chairs are waiting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95Cardinal Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Lamar, I have spent hours reading - and listening - to this entire thread this week. It is one of my favorite threads of all time, from ANY forum. Your vision, skills, workmanship and work ethic are incredible! Congratulations! I think the BS & SG is truly a work of art...and you really know your music, too. Hope the knee is back to 100%! Joe 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elpad Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I had the opportunity and pleasure to have been able to visit the “Buick Gardens” in couple of occasions. On the first trip, ground was being broken for the Sales and Service Center and on the second trip, the center was almost finish. I echo the words of 95 Cardinal and must add that Lamar’s ongoing enthusiasm has spread throughout all of the ones that compose and participate on this and other forums. Thanks Mr. Earl for sharing your place history and related adventures. Regards to your other 1/2 that makes all your dreams come true.
