Steve Moskowitz Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Incredible video courtesy of the NB CENTER. It is long but worth watching as you learn about Nicola Bulgari's obsession with American cars and watch his restoration team take you through a time lapse restoration. It culminates with a trip to the 2017 AACA Eastern Division Fall Meet in Hershey. The video is a professional production and I am sure you will enjoy it. Grab a cup of coffee, sit back and enjoy. We will have our Annual grand national meet in 2020 at this facility!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAvTmoT4svQ&feature=youtu.be 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MochetVelo Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Nice video. Never heard of the NB Center. What's the story behind it? Is it open to the public? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 No the NB Center is a private facility but they have graciously let clubs use their facilities. The Buick Club had their 50th Anniversary celebration there last year and AACA will have the AGNM in 2020. It is a magnificent facility. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Man Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Keith was able to find members of the Graham club (GOCI) they got ahold of me and other members to barrow parts and get authenticity information. They have a lot of balls in the air, was most likely a 2 year restoration. I sold them a rear bumper for the restoration (impossible part to find). The car is a 1933 Graham Model 64 (about 900 built), my only complaint is the wheels, I believe they should be painted body color (I was unable to prove they were not available in 33 in "natural") This car should be pin striped, the original painted striped wood wheels are artwork! This is an original color, it is missing the side mount covers. I would love to get in to see the collection someday, I think it is out East? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Man Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 One more thing I would like to mention, Nicola Bulgari is a great ambassador to our hobby! His cars don't gather dust, he gets them out and into the publics eye. We need more people with this level of enthusiasm for beautiful American pre war cars. https://www.historicvehicle.org/amos-northup-graham-blue-streak-national-historic-vehicle-register/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John S. Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 It's always a treat to see their cars at Hershey. The fellows are real down to earth, and the choices of cars are really interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philip roitman Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) The Buick Club of America did indeed have their 50th Anniversary at the NB Center for American Automotive History. Mr. Bulgari should be thanked for his amazing collection of American automobiles. The man is literally saving a huge part of the American automotive experience. The facility is incredible as well as beautiful. I am looking forward to going back for the AACA AGNM in 2020. Here are a few pictures from the Buick event.

I did share my album of photos for this event on multiple Face Book sites at the time. If you think I should share them on a new post in the forum, (Buick or AACA?) I would be more than happy to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TG57Roadmaster Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Great images! We got there too late for anything but the car show, but I had a blast. Mr. Bulgari has a thing for 1942 cars (and many others!) and the Roadmaster sedan was fantastic. I have loads of pics of his big Buicks on the grass, too many to post. Sweet '42 Buick Model 71 Roadmaster. 1942 Buick Model 71 Roadmaster. These layout plans give you the scope of the property...

Graham Man Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I have purchased parts from Mike Butters, he normally advertises on the GOCI website but it is down right now, updating. Nice quality reproduction parts at reasonable prices. I have had good luck with him and his Graham parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
