Thank you, and welcome to the active part of the board. Too bad you cannot make the National Meet this year, but congrats on the 49.

Dynaflash8 Dynaflash8 Member Registered: 03/03/01 Posts: 838 Loc: Sebring, FL USA	From my very first days of knowing what a car was, I was in love with my parents' 1939 Buick Special sedan. Consequently, in 1955 when I was 16, my very first car was a 1939 Buick Special sedan with sidemounts and a full leather interior that belonged to friends' of my parents ($100). My very first old ("collector")car was a 1939 Buick Special sedan ($40) I bought one week after being married in 1959. It was eventually sold. In 1963 I bought one of my current 1939 Buick Special's, a sedan. I saw the BCCA (Buick Collectors Club of America) advertised, probably in Cars & Parts, and became member #303, probably in 1964. When that club folded and the California Region took over as the BCA, I became the second member outside of California to join, becoming BCA #55. Now I own four 1939 Buick Specials, two Series 41 cars, one with sidemounts and leather interior like my first car, one a plain black sedan like my parents' car. In addition I own a 1939 Buick Special 4-door convertible (twice), and a 1939 Buick Special 2-door convertible. I also have a 1971 Riviera under restoration. Over the years, my collector cars and drivers have included a 1932 67; 1935 41; 1936 46; 1938 61; 10 1939's; 2 1941 90's; 2 1942's 51 and 41; 2 1947 Specials (a 41 and 46S); 1948 51; 2 1949 51's; 1951 48; 1956 46R; 2 1958 41;s; 1962 Invicta conv; 1964 Riviera; 1965 Electra conv; 1970 Electra conv; 3 1971 Riviera's; 1972 LeSabre Limited sedan (twice) & Riviera parts car; 1974 LeSabre sedan; 1977 Electra; 1977 Riviera; 1988 Skylark (Quad 4); 1991 Park Avenue; 1993 Century; 1995 LeSabre Limited; 1998 LeSabre; 2001 Park Avenue; 2005 Park Avenue (the last real Buick? - I'm not into toy cars, but with no choice, who knows).

I think you're right about that ^ Dave. And I would like to add I think a lot of Zonda and my boys and all our Buick Buddies here. I am continuously amazed at the mechanical aptitude, and comraderie, not to mention the courage, of this crowd. I sure hope we all meet up at the National this year. _________________________ John C.

Brandon Adams Brandon Adams New Member Registered: 06/14/07 Posts: 5 Loc: Apex, NC	Snacks? My middle name is snacks. Sort of. Only problem is sharing those snacks - see the fear-inspiring attack dog on my avatar? Pepper is the queen of snacking in my house. Although she loves to share, she expects belly or ear rubs in return. No rubs? She'll stare at you till you cave in. No one can resist the snack-hypnosis of Pepper Adams.... _________________________ Brandon Adams BCA# 43005 1949 Buick Super Mod.51

The next National our way can't be before 2010, if even then. I suggest you reconsider this years National in Michigan. It really is not that far for a Buick. Brandon, that's not that far for you either. Maybe you can tour up with Mr. Earl. That alone ought to make a memorable experience.

Brandon Adams Brandon Adams New Member Registered: 06/14/07 Posts: 5 Loc: Apex, NC	I hear you. I am still trying to come up with a plan to get to Flint. Looks like I will be in Cleveland that week for work, but trying to come up with something. My Aunt still lives in Flint (and drives a snazzy LeSabre too) so she has already signed off on lodgings if I need em'. I would really love to drive the 49 up there, but that wouldn't have a happy ending. I can feel it in my bones. Anyone driving north on US 70 would tell tales upon arrival at Flint of some goofy fool on the side of the road next to a burning black 1949 Buick sedan. I am still working on my master plan to get to Michigan via Cleveland - and in the process not alienate any of the corporate suits I have to deal with during the week. My caper is in the planning stages... _________________________ Brandon Adams BCA# 43005 1949 Buick Super Mod.51

Dan Cook Dan Cook Member Registered: 07/25/07 Posts: 280 Loc: Siskiyou Co. CA	Dave, you forgot James Arness (Matt Dillon). He has probably killed more bad guys on TV than anyone else. Stands up for what he believes is right and never lost a fist fight that I can ever remember. He is my number one American hero right behind Brandon and all the other Veterans here and all across our nation. _________________________
