I went Sweepspear over Portholes..... Maybe if portholes were not sold at Wallmart and slapped on anything with wheels then maybe they would still hold court for me. That line on the side though sure screams Buick! all day long. To be clear and to attempt to infer that you are looking for a LOGO image of some sort to incorporate into something then I would then prefer the EARLY BUICK (CURSIVE IN RECTANGLE BOX) or ROUND BUICK AUTHORIZED SERVICE IMAGE. Sweep Spears belong on the side of a Buick for their full effect.

Yes I love this image... But I have to say what really makes me think Buick and what brings out the best in the look of mine is the sweepspear/porthole combo. I used them as the main part of sig picture. Bahhhh, I'm lying.....my Favorite Buick image is this It has it all, great grille, portholes, sweepspear, bomb sight, wire wheels with the Red|White|Blue center caps. Sigh...... Sorry for getting carried away....

That sure is a beauty MrEarl.... If I'm not mistaken the Century was the fastest American production car in 54??? Yes I know the 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL was a sure fired record breaker but certainly NOT American. This one is the real deal but certainly NOT production! <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dk0U4Y11XcA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0XwcJeVgjA?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0XwcJeVgjA?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></object>

Company truck..... My brother now works from home...he really scored!

Here are the frame dimensions..... Large Body: Small Body The frame is different but the main cross member mount remains the same part. My Roadmaster cross member is 17 3/4" FWIW

Gas right now is $1.21 per liter 1 gallon [uS, liquid] = 3.785 liter I'm assuming you Southerners use US Gallon? The tank on my Truck is 95 liters..... Oh and I agree on your economic statement, here is a news article from my local station today:

Thanks Mike...when I think back it sorta does the same to me. I left out some of the main factors that contributed to the entry of my Buick experience but I do have a good account here for anybody who's interested: How it all started... - Blogs - 1954 Buick Highway... Its a Blog that has 6 entries that I should get back to and update....It begins with one of my fist posts, all the way to when the engine ceased.

Its a list of all BCA (Buick Club of America) members, they/we like to help out when in need. TxBuicks post was a nice polite way of recommending that you join the club! http://www.buickclub.org/ https://www.buickclubofamerica.org/subscribe.html Nice car, enjoy it and don't look back. Please though make sure the braking system is up to snuff....especially on the freeway runs!

Pfft!!! I wish I could pay 4.00 a gallon! $4.58 here right now! :mad: Gas fill ups are now triple digits....

Age 38, total Buick ownership consists of 1 1954 76R for almost 2 years...total mileage would be about 20. No other old cars, that's it :eek: I grew up with a picture on the wall of my Dad standing in front of some big old car grinning like he stole it. He always called it his Roadmaster.....the best car he ever owned, I never even really knew that it was a Buick. I had always wanted to get some neat old car so when it came time I talked to Dad about his Roadmaster....I looked it up and got hooked. Thanks to MrEarls involvement it didn't take long for one to find its way to my home..... ....now if I can only get it to find its way back on the road.

I think this observation of yours has everything to do with the fact that you are looking for a convertable.... 50's converts are either restored....>40k because people want to recoup their money or they are rusted out roofless and floorless field dwellers waiting for a resto. A nice original convert is truly rare...so again up goes the price. I really want a 54 Buick Roadmaster convert but they go for triple what my hard top would be in the same condition. A nice driver hardtop would be at least 10-15 so you can do the math. A #1 drop top is getting close to 6 figures FGS! Converts are just plain o'l pricey.....we all want them right? I know I do.

That would be my favorite part of a weekend!!!!!

....sure that is Matthew McConaughey???? That dude in the pic still has his shirt on.

+2.....

Mr Earl strikes again.....he does know that its a 55 eh? Beautiful Super!

I have always loved these cars....kinda my wow cars from when I was a teenager. Sadly I can't fit into them so when I got my fun ride I went to a Buick Nice stable of cars!

I like the BCA Brew.... Buick Cream Ale! Make sure you use lots of Tettnanger hops and balance with lots of wheat malt for the creamyness.

I have been lurking and posting at this place: Body and Paint • How to Paint Your Own Car, Auto Body Discussion Forum & Videos • AutoBody101.com Exceptional and professional advice in regards to auto body and paint can be readily found there.

Mike..of all times to have a "momentary lapse". With camera rolling and these two characters involved. Don't worry bud, I'm on your side...I'm laughing with you Is that still being nice and polite Willie? hehehehe

The first start....!!! Nice job guys, let me guess, there were cylinder wire and plug torque issues right? ....yes Willie, I got the gist but we all never like to admit that we, achem forgot the basics. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8???????? I guess you couldn't break in the cam yet eh....well at least you know she starts, that must have been a fun day in the Garage with that crew in place. Thanks for the Vid!!!!!

Clik edit on your video and you should get this... Clik Public like the example and save.....

How about another image? Plugs are 22-28 lbs:D

Speaking of Spam....I think that is the shortest post you have ever made :eek: j/k.....

Sounds like a nice time.....can't wait for this part of the video.

I guess I'm not part of the cool guys crowd...:( Locked out again...story of my life
