Hood ornament looks Art Deco bit like I had Devil in the Wind

Nice !!! going to bid , but will have to be a bargain for me as would have to ship and have nowhere to keep her , hey but what the hell! as said worth a punt.

Hi guys , amazing collections , Buick bits hard to find over here , but managed to find fob that matches Ruby ( but probably a miniature skylark, can only dream!) have had a couple Teashirts done for cruising and meets , another one has Buick service logo. make smart wear. cheers pilgrim

Matt, Read the whole blog , impressive , well done, but sad ending I was loving that car. cheers pilgrim

Amazing cars , enjoyed viewing , appreciate the posting. cheers pilgrim

Cheers Guys , John , you say the closest you'll ever get to Cyprus, but if any of you ever do a European tour , or cruise the eastern Med , cruise ships call in to Limassol, just pm me and we'll be there with Ruby to meet you. cheers pilgrim

Lost my dad when I was 21 , he was only 42 , but throughout my happy childhood dad always had 3 or 4 old cars he was tinkering with , it was his hobby , out of necessity I'm afraid as he couldn't afford newer cars , usually kept one road worthy for us , I played in the others guess that's how I got the bug . Thanks Dad , happy Father's Day.

Hi Ron amazing cars and set up . however when you found the magic lantern and the genie granted you 3 wishes cars first dream garage second what's your 3rd . ? Pilgrim

Apologise if I sound thick or this has been asked before , this thread is about changing lights to LED on reatta , two questions spring to mind , are the headlights brighter and secondly would I benefit changing my bulbs to LED on my 53 special Buick if that's possible , noting I'm still 6v system. cheers pilgrim

1953 Mack love facts and found your analysis of fisher plate amazing , going to look mine up when I get back to cyprus next week , I'll post be great if you can tell me any details about my 53 cheers pilgrim

I often let people sit inside for photo , which they usually ask me to help , that's fun because they appreciate the car , but standing on hood , is not on , and is the fault of 'wally''parents or I'm just a grumpy old man.? Jurys out.

Cheers Elpad think the leopard print is the tackiest finish I've ever seen on a car , nearly brought my breakfast up.

Not just a car it's Ruby!?

Went to a restaurant last week when I came out 2 kids were on my hood with shoes on! parents taking photos bit concerned , but thankfully no damage , would never have let my girls do such a thing ,but would be good to see them in the above pose , will see when they visit .

Sensible info John thanks , currently fill up every 200 miles as calculated should do over 300 on full tank . like your suggestion as will give more accurate mpg . will post results in a week or two as in Uk till next week end , Ruby resting. cheers pilgrim

You did good Matt, hope you raised enough, bet you appreciate the clear shelves. cheers pilgrim

Obviously they didn't want to share pictures of their collection , makes you wonder ?

Personally I'm been very impressed with loads of modified vehicles and also think many classic vehicles would have been scrapped if the imaginative enthusiasts who have turned hulks into things of beauty had to stick to originality. They are all valued and help to maintain our automotive hobby , no matter what gets them tickin , hod rods , muscle , modified etc I welcome all. pilgrim

Just a note to say thank you , gauge now operating , cleaned earthing . Not sure yet how accurate , but slowly returns to mid point from full , but scared to test further ?

Bill Macauley in New Lenox , pretty good workshop and classic specialist

Great job

Interesting tips re clock , will see if works on my 53 cheers pilgrim

Though choice! But probably the wise one?

Marilyn Monro in one of your 60s Buicks , that would be some photo ?

Ruby obviously Sassy old lady.
