I have 7-8 feet left of a roll of NOS black cloth I bought from SMS for a 1956 Special. I hate to have it just sit if someone can use it. $25.00 plus shipping:)

Good luck to you on the sale of a great Wildcat

David, I have a 2.97 out of a GS sitting in the shop collecting dust. If you want it, its yours. Mark

The car was delivered to me on monday of this week. After giving it a good bath and cleaning, I dropped the top and hit the road. I was truely amazed at how tight and solid the car drove, no rattles, very little if any "convertible flex" and the 455 was smooth and powerful enough to do the job. All in all, I am very pleased with the car. Funny to think that back in the 70s the LeSabre was considered a mid sized car. I think I can put a Toyota in the trunk

SOLD:)

Heres a picture. I havent the slightest clue why i bought this carb. I have never owned a 69 Riv. Just one of those mysteries in life

I have an NOS Qjet for the 1969 Rivieras number 7029241 build 0458 $100 plus shipping Thanks, Mark marklob@gmail.com

Hampton Coach Interiors may be able to help you. I got the correct carpet for my 46 Super from them. Do a google search, or I believe they are in the Bugle as well

Adam, The dice are questionable, but fun

Here's a 1975 Convertible I just picked up. Previous owner claimes 31k miles, with documentation to back it up. Fully loaded and ready to cruise

Try calling Bob Cline at Desert Dog Auto 815-337-9594. he is shutting down the chrome shop, but has several items left. He also did great work. Mark

Thanks to the Iowa crew for a great website for this show. The campus is a fantastic backdrop for showing these wonderful cars. My father and I have reservations at the Holiday Inn

The sentiment I hear, is the BCA is mostly for people 70 and up that want to play and show the cars they grew up with in from the 30s to early 40s. While I love looking at them, and even own a 46, I cant associate with them as I, along with the vast amount of the so called "baby boomers grew up with vehicles from the 60s and 70s. There are other Buick groups out there that cater to these age groups. I just attended a show in Ohio with the Buick Performance Group, it was heavily attended, I was in a crowd of people my own age group and had the time of my life. Plenty of Rivieras, Gran Sports, Centurions, and Skylarks. I can only hope the BCA will emerge from the box it has painted itself into. I must admit, I dont do much with the local chapter, as I really dont see it changing from the "old timers get togeather". I dont care to be the youngest person in the group, and heck I am in my 50s The BCA says it wants the younger crowd to pass the torch to, it wont happen. The young people of today see cars in a different light than we did growing up. Times have changed. To them, a Buick is nothing more than a LeSabre, or Century or as my son puts it, Grandma's cars. The last 10 years of Buicks have been nothing but boring, is a young person going to drive one, NO. I can only hope that the BCA does'nt forget the crowd that will be replacing the current medium age group. We have the time, the money and the abilities to make this grow, provided we are welcomed in as a group. I have loved going to BCA events, it is something my father and I look forward to each year, I hope it can continue.

When I saw that episode, my jaw dropped and I sat speachless. I can only hope it was a prop and not a real car

Paul, thank you , I will be in touch. I do need to narrow down the search though, it will need to be a 46-47 to be able to fit in the car. in 48 the motor mounts are closer to the center of the engine. I learned something new last night, thanks to my father for that bit of info.

I am looking for a 46-48 in line 8, 248 cubic inch engine. Must be rebuildable, or better yet running. I can be reached at 319-361-6465 marklob@gmail.com Thank you, Mark

Rallyes were 15x6 but I dont know the back spacing

Guys, Put me down to help out. I am happy to do so. I havent done much lately with the local chapter, as rebuilding from the floods took most of my time. All done and behind us, so looking forward to doing some "car things" this summer, and I really would like to see this show done right. Mark Lob 319-247-2403 office 319-361-6465 cell

Greg, If you would be so kind, you may want to share the info with other people on this board. I asked so that info could be shared. I am currently out of the car buying market. Regards, Mark

Greg, Sorry to hear about your friend. Couple of things to ask, are there any issues with rust, say in the qaurters or rear window areas? Bench or bucket seats? The engine, if it is original, will be a 400 rather than the 430. How many miles on the car? Best regards, Mark Lob

Roberta, Looks great, Your call on the right one, I am shipping this grill to a fellow Buick freind in Australia. They have a tough time getting parts down there.
