Adam, I am not sure if the B-60 will be making it. It is about 15 hours for me. We will see how far along I get by then. I may want to pick your brain on your newest acquisition...I have been eyeing a 60 LeSabre Convertible that is a few hours away from me.

I am a little late to this thread and there was a lot of good discussion here. I would agree with those that mentioned the role exposure plays. I started going to car shows very young with my grandfather. He always had a project going and took the time to include me. I will be 34 this week, am married with two children and a third on the way. I make a point to include my son and daughter as much as I can. In fact I am considering bringing my daughter with me to my first BCA National next summer. I currently have 4 cars....none are show quality and most are four doors because that is what I could afford, but the family loves riding with me to cruise nights. I hope to foster an appreciation in my kids like my grandfather did with me and I enjoy being with "older" classic car owners. I see it as a great learning opportunity.

These don't belong to me and I am not familiar with them, just saw this ad recently. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/cto/4689425067.html

Took the 62 Skylark out for the first time in a couple weeks. It is waiting its turn for new tires and other refreshing while I work on my 60 LeSabre. So, I am not driving it too far on the old bias plys. Felt good to drive with the top down.

Thanks! I will message you for details.

I accidently posted this on the general forum. I have found one of the front hubs has been having issues with the inner bearing race and damaged the hub. Anyone have any they would sell? I am going to need this to get my LeSabre back on the road. Thanks!

Thanks Geoff. The bias ply tires that were on it when I got it were somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 years old, so I don't think I can judge the ride on them and I don't have much experience driving on other bias ply. But, ultimately I will be driving this car a good bit so the radials seemed the best choice.

Thanks AndiM! I am having the new radial tires mounted this week and should have them and the new front drums installed this weekend. It has been too long since I last drove it!

I wondered whether it had been sold or not. Congrats and good luck to the new owner.

I am going. Will be looking for 60 LeSabre and 62 Skylark parts if anyone has any leads.

Thanks John! I hope to take some better pics of it soon.

Well, I wasn't in the market for a car considering I just picked up a 60 LeSabre in July that I have been putting some time into. But, I happened upon this for sale locally and when I saw the condition, I couldn't pass it up. The body is pretty much rust free with the exception of a small spot on the inner rocker. The 215 runs great and the auto trans shifts nicely. The convertible top has a couple rips in the outer shell and will need replaced at some point, the seats need some minor repair and the carpet seems a little worn in the rear. I like finding cars that are pretty much all original. Will enjoy cleaning it up real good and driving it. The 30 year old tires will need to go and I may need to rebuild or replace the master cylinder.

Received my copy in the mail. Great Riviera articles.

Sorry, the forum didn't like the way I tried to attach photos to the original post.

Not Mine... no number provided in the ad. http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/cto/4658486613.html 1957 Buick two door hardtop - ready to restore. Make an offer.

This is something you don't see very often. How are the floor pans and frame? Is that rust spot at the rear door common?

I don't even know how the ratings work. Let me see if I can bump it up.

Wow, glad that I booked when I did.

Beautiful car. Good luck!

I wondered the same thing. I heard from someone else that they spoke with the owner who said it had had a 425/400, contradicting what he put in his Craigslist ad.

Looks like they reduced the asking price to $9999. http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/cto/4632303054.html

I noticed today that asking price has been reduced to $3900.

Not mine. https://medford.craigslist.org/cto/4623035656.html Buick Invicta 1960 ! 401 cu in " Nailhead " V8. 2 door . This car needs restoration but is a rare find.

Where are you located? I would tend to agree with the other commenters on price. Is the writing spray painted on the trunk? Also, some models are just not in high demand.
