That fits....nice deduction.

I think a picture or two would help here....any chance at crawling under there?

Sold! ...or at least I hope so to me, sent PM.

Nice touch to a beautiful car...well done!

....at least save it from some "Rod Job"

Its been 4 weeks...time to bump this thread! How about a little vid on "The Rusty Old American Dream" If you got a 54...it doesn't matter what it looks like, bring it on down to the 2012 Buick Nationals. <iframe width="853" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-tCbCkOBdt4?hd=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Thanks for sharing your adventures... I could only imagine the stories you could tell of what you have seen on the road. Stay Safe and ride on.

Here is a whole slide show of old Buick's that are out to pasture: RUSTED FROM THE RAIN Not mine...El Diablo made this fine show

Here is a link to the story: Russo and Steele car auction estimates $1.5M in damage

Why not start with the hobby? You obviously seem interested.... It really is not that expensive if you do it right for the budget. You won't get a 54 Roadmaster Convert as an entry car but there are many driver quality...achem "classics" that you could get for under 5k. Just a thought.

I remember reading about that but I forget it now... Unfortunately this show lacks the provenance part of the story.

I posted this before but only the first half...here is the whole clip in its entirety: <iframe width="640" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/BcC-8g7MxxA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I have more and will upload them soon....

Thanks Frank but all thanks should go to Brian who is doing a great Job as the BCA President promoting the National meet for 2012. With efforts like his it will surely be a great National!

I posted this before but it was split in half and at two separate sites.... This is the whole version together. Two of my all time favorite Buick's! <iframe width="640" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_OhNYzuQL4c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

YouTube just allowed me longer than 10 mins so I'll up all the shows that I have!

Enjoy.... <iframe width="640" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/RxWrbkiQWVE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Awesome man!!! Look forward to seeing you...

I realize that this is a thread about a 53 but I just have to interject and stop all the Sad Faced references to the 54... It was and always will be "The Beautiful Buy" <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5AVKRTX0UK8?hd=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Right..that was my point. I know that when I type anything it is public domain. I hardly think a VIN number is of any consequence to anybody, hell you can see modern ones through the window so all are available to be "Taken" As far as my name, there are 6 Robert LeBlanc's at my Bank branch. It would be difficult to tie me to any one place. BCA# just ties my nickname and info posted from this hobby to my name which is benign. At worst I will get some targeted advertising but I block those anyways. The things to never type out in public are, Home address, Phone numbers, any financial id numbers ect. Personally I think a membership number is of no use to any nefarious individuals.

You never know Marck...you may just like that o'l 53. They do have their charm, more cozy inside Its all subjective in the end...for me what cinches it is the great 54 community, having a 54 is a ticket in to the party! Regardless its a 50's Buick and they are all great in their own way

There is no such thing as privacy on the internet... EVERYTHING is tracked. Its a decision one has to make when posting, personally I think my BCA# and name is pretty benign. Never type out a phone # though Every post is another piece of data someone can search for, I found a vent frame by searching for the part number. It came up in a post on some Cadillac forum and it was over 3 years old. I contacted the guy and he still had it! Brian's idea is a good one because the Google Bots don't mine data from a field that normally contains "Senior member" therefore it is somewhat ignored.

Words hurt...........

Somebody get a hold of an engraver and get busy on the letters P Phillips on that hardware.

Testify brother! I too feel your pain.......
