Does anyone else remember, at the Hershey meet, a guy who sold drill bits called "David Drills"? Now, I'm going back a number of years when I bought a set (in the old blue field). The guy would stand there and drill all kinds of stuff with these bits. I still have a fairly complete set and I still use them. I watched this guy's demonstration for three or four years before I decided to buy a set. I can't find any info on the internet about these bits. Anyone know what happened to this company? Did another company buy them out? Are they made under another name? I have a good set of drill bits but I'd still like to buy another set of David Drill bits.

My 1968 Dodge Super Bee was sold, when new, by Frontier Dodge in Great Falls, Montana. I would like to buy anything that has the Dealer Logo such as, letterhead, emblem, sticker, tag frame, trunk medallion, or decal. I would be glad to purchase any item or a photograph of an item or a photo of the Dealership. I'm not trying to create any 'artificial' paperwork or anything like that. My car is a very nice original and I have the original dealer stock tag, window sticker,and the warranty certicard. Just trying to collect anything relative to the car. Thanks !

Al, Any chance that you have a picture of it? I love seeing them. Thanks for the comments on the story, guys. Ron

No, I'm afraid that I don't remember his name. I know when he spoke of the car, you could tell that he loved the car. Despite his difficulty having a conversation, it was easy to tell that he thought he was 'the cat's meow' when driving around in the car. I meant to mention that when the niece was no longer driving the car it got put in a building with a '34 Plymouth coupe. It was a concrete block building and over the years the garage door was removed and blocked in. When the cars were found, the deal was to remove the cars and restore the building to a garage in exchange for the cars. Also, the Buick served one owner, before me, as his college car. College was in Ohio, so it made quite a few trips between New Jersey and Ohio.

I was searching the interenet for any info on a 1940 Buick Roadmaster Coupe. My interest stems from the fact that I once owned one. I sold it in the mid to late 70's and have regretted it for many years. Old story, huh? Mine was in very good original condition with the original interior very much intact. It was silver over blue. It had a radio and the original fender skirts. The car was originally purchased at East Coast Motors in West Palm Beach, Florida. The story is that the wife of a Commodore Foster (with homes in Atlantic City, NJ, West Palm Beach, Florida, Boston and maybe other cities) had been struck with blindness. When she needed a new car, she told her chauffer to purchase a car to his liking, provided that it was comfortable for her to ride in. He bought the Buick. At some point, the car was given to a niece as a Birthday present. The niece lived in the Atlantic City (it might have been Margate, NJ) home. The car was shipped by rail car to Atlantic City. A past owner had a picture of the car in the railroad yard with a big ribbon tied around it. I never got that picture. The chauffer came to Atlantic City and lived out his days there. One of the past owners took me to meet him. Unfortunately he was suffering from illness and had a difficult time with the conversation. There was some of the original paperwork with the car, including the original owners manual. I bought the car with the intent to 'just fix it up and drive it'. It was very presentable when I bought it except for a pronounced rod knock. I had not been in the hobby very long when I owned the car. I soon realized that I did not have the means to properly rebuild the engine. That realization led me to sell the car. The last I knew of the car it was in the Toms River, NJ area. I saw an ad a few years ago for a 76S in Virginia that looked a lot like the car. I could never get the owner to return my calls. I belonged to the Buick Club of America and at that time, I know there were only a few 1940 76S coupes. Well, I hope I haven't bored you with the story. I just hoped you might enjoy my experience with a 76S. I know the post was year old but maybe there is still interest.
