In the 70s here today so I met up with some friends for lunch. Also stopped by a local shop to check progress on another of my cars- a 1966 Dodge Coronet. He had it out for a drive on this beautiful day to check a few things out.

This Century could be made nice again.

Some have seen better days.

While in town, my grandfather and I went over to check out Ted Vernon’s new dealership in Lake Wales, FL. You may remember him from South Beach Classics that was on TV a while back. A few Buicks around. Not my choice of wheels on this 61 LeSabre. The Reatta was left with open windows.

The only other Buick at the Cruise-in mentioned above was this 66 Skylark GS convertible that was for sale.

Visiting my grandparents in Florida for a few days this week. Weather has been decent and we took his 53 Super out to a local cruise-in today. It’s a recent acquisition for him and my first time driving it.

I like the way you think!

Good point on the tires. A 2020 GS I am looking at just had new tires put on it by the dealer to prepare it for sale. Uniroyal Tiger Paws…. not feeling too good about how that is going to ride.

Looks good! I owned a 2012 GS at one point but I just wasn’t as happy with it as I was with my 2001 GS that I drove before it. I have been toying with the idea of getting one of the last GS models (18-20) but not sure yet. Still enjoying my Park Avenue Ultra and not sure I can justify having both!

Glad to see you found a good home for it!

Purchased! Thanks for sharing @MrEarl.

I know it’s off topic, I wish they had made a GS version of the Tourx. Looks good.

Where did you get that front fascia from?

Nice!

Is that a 57 I spy in the background?

I believe this was in the car corral at Hershey.

I remember you said you may be doing this when I saw you in April. Tough decision I am sure. This is a beautiful model. Good luck on the sale.

I got my reservation in. The online link works faster than the operator while I was on hold with them trying to figure out the group code!

Those are ‘61 wheelcovers.

Realized that I haven’t had either of my 60 LeSabres out for a couple of weeks. So, met up with a couple of friends in my green sedan for a cruise on the back roads. A little over 30 miles with a lot of farms and mountain views around.

Love it!
