That’s almost as good an endorsement as Jimi Hendrix approving a guitar

I agree with cevensky. If you can post here, you can start your own thread. It’s very easy. Just click on Our cars and restorations and hit the start new topic button at the top of the page. Posting stuff about your car here just interrupts the flow of the op’s progress, and your car will be the sole focus of its own page

I use the Victor electronic mouse traps. They work well, but a little sensitive. A few times I have opened a trap that was activated, only to find a centipede inside

Wow, I didn’t know Buick still had verde green in the ‘60s. I had a ‘52 Buick that was the same color

Fabulous! So happy to see this

Nice! And Let’s go Mets!

I'll be out 10 years next month. As the saying goes "you'll miss the clowns, but not the circus!"

All I can say is that we used to buy black acrylic lacquer by the gallon and could use it on literally any (non metallic) black car. No color code needed. The only times I would deviate was using Glasso paint on VWs and BMWs for the sole reason that it would flow out so smooth that it would require little to no buffing. Oh, and one other time some guy brought his own nitrocellulose lacquer to paint a couple of fenders on a model A. But, that DuPont gloss black lacquer would have worked perfectly fine on any of these cars

I was an auto painter from 1973-1982. Unless Carlsbad black is a metallic color, non-metallic black paint was the same for any car, kinda like that song “black is black” by Los Bravos 😉

Looking good. Congratulations on your retirement. A good time to pack it in

For some reason I just saw this now. It must have been redirected from another section. A ‘50 Buick convertible will not be a 56R. A super series would be a 56C. It would also have additional body mounts on each side. There are a few vendors that sell inner and outer rocker panels.

I put up a not mine post here and there. Solely on cars or hard to find parts that I think would be of interest or good value to forum members

It was sitting on CL for a few weeks with no photos. Today was the first time I saw the ad with pics

Hmmm, says 322 V8 and vinyl interior. https://newhaven.craigslist.org/cto/d/oxford-1951-buick-super-56c-model/7147658600.html

Anybody know anything about this one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1953-Buick-Skylark-Convertible/254653965962?hash=item3b4a8f268a:g:t0YAAOSwudBfDlDF&vxp=mtr

I’m not sure about the ‘53s, but every ‘50-‘52 Buick I’ve seen had screws, not rivets. Maybe a shortage of rivets due to the Korean War.

Anybody know anything about this one? Looks pretty nice
