MikesWoodieWorld

I can only envy your wonderful car, My Woodies will hopefully get to that stage in the somewhat near future!! I will keep you posted on my progress, meanwhile kick a few pictures of yours to keep me motivated!! Thanks, Mike

Hey, I would love to tell a story of another Buick Woodie being salvaged... But, not so this weekend, although my good friend, Gary, who is into antique trailers needed my help. Keep in mind he will drop any plans to help me salvage a Woodie, and has come through numerous times, many when I never expected him to... So, off we went on another adventure, saving a 1950 Palace trailer, in terrible shape, but made OK by his diligence!! I ended up towing it to his place, easily due to his previous efforts. It will be restored into a showpiece due to his connections, so I thoroughly enjoyed all. I have added some shots he took, since I forgot my camera...comes with age!! In the pics, the guy on the left was our connection, a local with a big heart. Gary has the red cap, and I am the far right character. The others are Sarah, Gary's daughter and her man, Grant, the big guy...much help!!! The dog was also local, and really friendly. I do believe the younger ones were more into it all than us oldsters... And their youth showed up so very much...they were way more helpful than I had ever expected!! A feeling that truly warmed my heart!! And made me feel old!! But OK. I will try to keep Buick Woodies as the subject in the future, just felt the need to share this... A totally enjoyable weekend. Saturday to do it, Sunday to recover!!! With true friends...won't go into the details of the meal Gary's wife Margo had for us upon our return... Nope, no drooling allowed here!! Hey, it was great!! Mike

Oh, Rob, you are such a romantic... Did Buicks make you that way??? Er, early 1950's Buicks that is!!

I stumbled on this link, and totally enjoyed it! Anything new...any progress?? I would enjoy hearing anything!! Thanks for all, Mike in CA

Hey, all youse guys are letting your years hang out...I can totally relate!! Thanks for doing so, it made me feel a wee bit younger for a few seconds!! I still love the oldies, meaning during the Woodie era, pre 1953, for Buick anyway.

Not much response here from the originator... I am close enough to go see and report all the missing info, which is much, so perhaps it is just a scam. I like Bernies line: "Never sold a thing I didn't know the price of."

No offense, just wanna see your find!!

So, pics of your 56??? LOL, get it together!!

Hey, this gem was for sale previously, and I wasn't in a position to buy it. I just sold a Woodie, so it made me able to buy it this time around, and I am totally adoring it!! Woodies forever!! Thanks for the positive kudos...Mike

OK, I see that this thread removed a word from my previous thread... It was the word, B I T C H, which refers to a female dog, as well as a few other items!! Hopefully it will come through here so that I make some sort of sense...if not, it really doesn't matter!! I enjoyed seeing it removed!! No offense meant to anybody...Mike

Oh dear...I have a pair...an unlikely pair at that, of dogs...boxers...that run me!! A young male, Leo, and an old *****, Maddie...quite the characters!! (After having a few female Boxer dogs over the years, I came to realize the term, "*****"!!) Then I recognized I was married to a real one..many steps above any male or female dog!! So, I changed my life, not so easy, but I still enjoy bitches, as long as they walk on 4 legs!! They tolerate my Woodies, despite my telling them they are totally blessed to be able to enjoy them... Go figure!! Each and every morning, they scurry past Woodies, totally oblivious of them for a treat..read that a chunk of food that you or I wouldn't even turn our heads for...totally oblivious of their surroundings, until basic gastronomy details are satisfied... But, then they will bark at any weird noise, of which there are too many!! Hey, I live in a metal shop, with the sun coming up daily, heating it and making some really weird noises, only another metal shop dweller can appreciate!! Or even know about!! But it is life to the fullest, and I enjoy every second of it!! More on the Buick Woodies later...need to play with dogs... Er, maybe feed them!! LOL Cheers, Mike

Hey Robbie, I hope this gives you a certain element of satisfaction!!! (It did me, thanks, pal). I could send some pics of my shop trash can, but I think it would give others a reason to upchuck whatever they had last enjoyed, if even just a little!! LOL Seriously, it is not fun, my trash that is...is yours???!! We just try to stay focused on Woodies, since they are sacred...unlike any trash!! Hey all you'se guys, hang in there, I will attempt to keep all Woodie lovers motivated...as well as any old cars, trailers, any old stuff that needs celebrating motivated...just wish I could live forever!! But, it won't happen!! So we just carry on... Mike LOL

OK, here are some pics of my latest Buick...(you picture nuts!!) It is a 1947 Super Woodie that was converted to a pickup in the 1970's, or so. And, tastefully done, I might add!! It is in transit, soon, and I cannot wait to see it and enjoy it!! Cheers, Mike

OK, OK!! I will do what I can...there are some good changes...I'm just too tired to oblige right now!! Hey, I ain't a youngster!! Hah! Are any of us??? Fine, but old age brings surprise surgery, which I just endured, so give me a lil' time to recuperate, OK? Will be back, soon, with more interesting pics...trust me!! Buicks forever!! Cheers, Mike PS: Just got another 1947 Buick Woodie...stay tuned...LOL

By the way, Tom, my email is: mikesoldecars@yahoo.com I am so very glad I helped in your motivation, and possibly I helped get your wife involved...I really hope so!! Keep in touch, Mike

Hang in there, Tom!!! Thanks for saving them...any help I can possibly do is guaranteed!! Cheers, Mike

Well, A Super would be rare...but a Roadmaster? Go check the production #s, it'll scare you!! And then add 50+ years of neglect!!

How are the floors? And what part of southern CA? Super or Roadmaster?

Rhondavoo, you are doing fine, actually better than most, even being bounced around by the school of hard knocks!! I can maybe help with a referral for shipping some of it. I have a friend, Fred Hulbert, who traverses our great country hauling cars & parts, and if one is patient he delivers!! Keep in mind he has to be near and is often near Texas, a very big state. His phone is: 208 401 5999 and he is reasonable and very careful with all his hauls. He is loaded now as I write, after leaving my place a few days ago, and headed your way. I am not sure of his location of drop-off, so contact him for further updates. I just hope all your efforts are successful. Mike

Thanks, Rob, for the compliments. Check this one out...

Hey Rob, I have a "REAL" 53 Woodie I may be inclined to sell!! Any interest??? LOL No, seriously!!!!!!

Well? How did your shoot go??

Oh, well, T'bird!! What do you expect!! LOL They can get ugly, our Buicks don't!! Buicks just get better with age, and nice folks seem to gather around them!!

And there is another one, seller thinks it is Special...but he gives a dimension. 1951,1952 Buick Upper Grille Bar, Mustache Bar (140958952584) Hopefully this is the link to it, but if not, you have the title & item #.

Or, maybe a Woodie!! Come on!!
