X2 computers should have breathaliizers to screen inappropriate posts!! ...Or maybe not...Some of my best ideas come to fruition after a little or a lot of liquid libation!! ...Or maybe not!!
While I have disdain for the easily offended AND I work as "blue" or worse than many other folks around here AND I have been known to post whilst drinking.I do agree.
Noted.

I for one would love to see it. QUOTE=Bhigdog;1124641]Thanks Mike. I don't want to hi jack this thread. I was thinking of posting the pics of the 55's restoration, not all at once but in bits and pieces so guys could discuss the process as it went along. I'm not sure where it would go or even if any one gives ****........... Lamar, any thoughts?..............Bob

Lundys-my dad used to rave about that place! Lundys closed about 5 yrs. ago. Building is still there though, too bad the cars aren't.

Ok, I voted for it!. Been sitting longer than my 1952 Super convertible (50 years, my estimate) That is my retirement project. Best of luck to you. Am starting mine in late Dec./ early Jan w/floorboard/trunkpan replacement-Dave BCA#46470 1952 56C

If they had cash for clunkers in the late 50's or early 60's how many of our early to mid 50's Buicks, not to mention any other great cars of the era would be left?? Next to none. Maybe we don't think much about it now, but many of these cars that were crushed for dubious reasons were a childs' first memory of dad's car (sound familiar?)Dave BCA#46470 1952 56C

Ben-Is the name of the color of your '50 Glen Green? Thanks much-Dave BCA#46470 1952 56C
Does anyone own a 1950 Buick with the hood that opens using the special key that is inserted into one of the portholes and turned? I am looking for a photo or two of the key, and a photo of the key inserted into the porthole, to illustrate the two different types of hood opening mechanisms in 1950. The early 1950 Buicks had the key; the later ones had the hood pull cables on either end of the dashboard. My '50 is the later type. I would like these photos in order to prepare a short article for the Buick Bugle about this. Any help is greatly appreciated.Pete Phillips, BCA #7338

Fascinating! Never saw this before either. Like Paul said, you learn something new every day!-Dave BCA#46470 1952 56C
Never saw that. Opens from either side? Had a '41, nameplate swung out, lifted hood from side, left or right. Learn something new everyday. -
OP was almost 10 yrs. ago. -Dave BCA#46470 1952 56C

AWESOME car! I was wondering about your trunk pan replacement as my car needs one also? I can get repro floor pans, but can't get a trunk pan, except to have one fabricated or get one from a donor car. Thanks much. -Dave BCA#46470 1952 56C

A couple of guys here recommended Alan Kris. He advertises in the Bugle and believe he is a BCA member as well. -Dave BCA#46470 1952 56C

That's a '52. A '50 grille is unique to that year-Dave BCA#46470 1952 56C

Welcome Jack. The '50-'52 Buicks are my favorites as well. Don't have much experience working on them yet. There are several guys on this site that have experience w/ these wonderful cars (check out shadetree 77s' thread about his '52 special) http://forums.aaca.org/f163/1952-special-deluxe-project-315000.html Much knowledge here. Enjoy! -Dave BCA#46470 1952 56C

My '52 56C project came out of Winchester, Va. (2 owners ago) also; wonder if there's any connection? My mom lives about 20 minutes away in Front Royal-Dave BCA#46470 1952 56C

This thread is a Godsend! My car is in a very similar state. Body panels a little better, but the floors a little worse. Very encouraging that it CAN be done! I won't tackle the floors myself, but can do a lot of of the other work myself
