Love that red super convertible first one I ve seen
probably best as I would have been looking for one when I bought last year and would have probably been 20k more than I spent at least.
so like skylarks bit to much bread for my hobby .

I had a terrible shake , turned out to be blown inside wall of tyre , looked good exterior wall and tread , but steel gone ,acted like misbalanced , worth a look.
good luck resolving.

That's better , pity about the muscle car , only kidding , nice car?

I get frustrated looking at nice cars like this one , because if I was in states I would buy , specially if the 55 had air con .
trouble about living in Cyprus it's costs about 8 k to ship and import , so makes a reasonable price expensive ,

Bearing sorted back on road .
noted advice on pit holes and brindled balls ,

Hi Lamar
just to add additional info , I enclose photos of my 53 Buick Owners Guide , same jack as mine , I would say it amazes me that the upright takes all that weight of my car and I bet supers and road masters weigh more and use same jack , Buick tried and tested I guess.

I know there's been plenty said on here about white wall tyres , Coker whites , preferred width of white band etc.
However as one of my tyres with an inch white band has just blown , having trouble sourcing another over here . Have managed to buy correct size 225/75 , 15 inch but no white so have bought a set of Atlas 2 inch whitewall addons (eBay) , wondered if any members had tried such? And how successful. Probably not to many of you in states as you can easily buy real ones.

Great picture , is it real , not photoshop, cars 50s American but surroundings French ? Didn't think they imported that many or is this a French quarter ,perhaps New Orleans. That tower in the background intrigues me., only one Buick though, or is the green one a Buick too.?

Cuba is a Pandora's box
Here is another Colonial style building and a 50 Buick (looks like a Special) not sure
The picture may have been posted before
Hi Elpad , you sparked my interest as the car is probably a special ,but also with the term colonial style , as I had previously thought colonial style buildings referred to British mainly Georgian buildings which was the style when many of the colonies were set up , but your post prompted me to look further as I didn't think Cuba was ever a British colony , probably Spanish . So today I've learned that colonial style refers to the style of the mother country, not particularly British . Interesting photo particularly as I'm keen on architecture, should have known from the arches and decorative balconies,not British.
Sorry to go off topic ,but it was the car that initially got my attention.? Thanks

Is it still a 'light bulb ' when it's gone , particularly as it provides no light ?

Me , purely an assistant , surprise, mechanic says play in rear bearing normal for 50s car , local chap who diagnosed rear bearing , great guy but not accostumed to classics . Actual problem appears to be to much play in front bearing passenger side , adjusted up , drives ok , early days though only been 1/2 mile . Taking Ruby out tonight with neighbours for fish and chips ! Their choice ? Fingers crossed.
thanks to you guys for advice and support.
cheers

Hi guys
remember I posted Ruby's revenge , when wheel came off, thought at the time no damage apart from scuff of tyre and small paint chip on arch, well I was wrong driving Ruby last week end suddenly experienced a terrible shudder , thought wheel was coming off again , stopped and checked but bolts in place , crawled home , very stressful . Friend came today jacked her up , bearing gone! Question how easy to change?
cheers
