  1. Today was wash day to two of my Buicks. Washed all the road dirt from the rainy drive last weekend off the 71 LeSabre and did some spring cleaning on my 05 Park Avenue Ultra.
  2. Thanks Brian! I really love the colors on this one and feel like I don’t seem them too often. I’ll keep you in mind if I get the itch to sell. I have worked up to this one over the last 9 years or so between buying and selling cars. This is the 4th 1960 LeSabre I have owned in various body styles. Down to just this one now. As for finding them, like any other you have to just keep your eyes open and check all the usual places. The Buick Buy/Sell forum participants are pretty good about posting when they pop up around the country. The key is finding a good one.
  3. I drove this 71 LeSabre 840 miles home to Virginia from @Smartin’s in Missouri over today and yesterday. Nothing but rain the whole time! It handled flawlessly and reminded just how wonderful these cars are to drive. Put my Spotify on the Billboard Top 100 for 1971 and let it play. We are both a little tired and waterlogged and it will get a proper cleaning after the monsoons finish.
  4. @Centurion I was sure watching this one. Even considered it for an upgrade from my current Ultra. It was lower mileage and a little better condtion. The price quickly jumped to $10k and stayed for most of the auction. Started out this morning at $14.5k. I wonder what the new owner purchased for? Probably to get a nice low mileage Park Avenue in what appears to be excellent condition to drive for as long as they like. I bought mine with 31k miles almost 3 years ago. Up to 47500 now. I don’t have to do a lot of driving so slowly adding mileage. I look at alternatives every now and then but it’s hard to find something better these days.
  5. I noticed this car pop up on marketplace yesterday as I am in FL right now and changed my location to catch some local listings. Still a little far from where I am. I notice that the cars here seem more prone to rust on the roof, especially when they are close to the coast.
  6. I just did the same using my normal browser, Chrome. Blurry and blank pages, can’t zoom in on the pages that load. I then tried the other browser that is on my laptop, Microsoft Edge and ever loads well and will zoom in as normal. It may be good to find out from our vendor if there is a preferred browser to view it on and let the members know that. Or, if there is something we should do to make sure it works, it would be good to know that too.
  7. I’ll be there. The decision on what I bring may need to wait until closer to the date. Leaning towards the 71 Centurion.
  8. I have had the same issue on my laptop for quite a while. For some reason the Bugle won’t fully load and most of the pages remain blank. I’ve resorted to viewing on my phone which is much smaller. I guess I may need to go to paper when my membership is up next because I am not reading it as much as I would like to.
  9. My first car was an 86 Limited Coupe in blue.
  10. I don’t know what dealership. I see what you mean about 70s, especially in “u”. I thought the lettering reminded me a lot of the font used on the 60 Buick which is what caught my eye initially.
  11. This caught my eye about a month ago on Marketplace. It was a ways away for me but luckily I knew someone nearby through the Buick world that was able to pick it up and hold until I could make the trip to get it. Looks like an early 60s dealership item, about 42” tall.
  12. We made it into the mid-50s in Virginia today. Took the LeSabre for a winter warm-up run and to check in on my ‘66 Dodge that is in for transmission work.
