Don't forget to bid on the 54 Color & Trim book she now has on Ebay

Absolutely NOT--- there were NOT earlier ones like this 1956 type box. This type of box was used form 1956 through 1960. The boxes like these were the very first of this type. Prior to 1956, there were light boxes that simply held a single transparency of one model of Buick. They were made to hang on the wall. There were no upholstery samples or color samples. Each car always was the same car shown in the postcards of the year. There was also a special REALLY BIG transparency with it's very own light box for the 1953 Skylark.

Let's make sure you have a clear understanding of this scam. By the time it was shut down, 3 (dumb) people had bid and the price was at $12,475. It was a one day auction and if it had gone the distance and ended, there is a good chance the winner would have wired a down payment. The scammer probably was successful before and THAT is "what it is with these idiots and that car"

I just saw this same car on Ebay again today 8/23/2019 --- Three people had bid and the price was at $12,445. I knew it was a scam immediately because of the 24 hour auction and the no reserve. But still, I checked by calling all the car dealers, repair shops and even the town marshal in Mancos, Colorado where it supposedly was located. I sent the listing person an email question saying I was from the town 20 miles to the West asking to come see the car. No reply, but the car listing totally disappeared with no trace 3 hours later.

Well--- I made it into Ralph Crisp's cloths closet (and basement) (and stuffed garage) and took home all his uniform shirts and coveralls. But his (and my) size was Large. His shirts were some of a very few things I kept after losing interest in Buicks. I decided I liked my 59 Sport Fury convt. and 62 Impala more. The Buicks were just too slow. I doubt if Mr. Bradley in Elberton is still alive, but he would never let me go in the attic even though his Mom said it was full. He allowed me into the garage and even their clothes closet---- but not the attic. I never left any dealer without asking about the clothes closet

Well--- I DO like to taunt, but I can't specifically remember taunting any guys with a 54 Roadmaster. The 54 guys were always too cheap to pay real money for parts anyway. Are you by chance the guy I told to go to Elberton? Bradley Buick? I wrote to you about your 49 yellow canvass banner.

Is Buick Andy Keller still alive?

Do you know if Buick Andy Keller is still alive?

I've got some REALLY juicy stories about the signs and parts that were once in Elberton Ga.

Good ol' Ralph. The dealers just loved him too because as a Buick Zone Rep. he actually took care of their needs especially when a Dealer couldn't get their allotment of Buick Specials. Back in the 1970's and 80's when I was out picking the Buick dealers in Nebraska and parts of Iowa, South Dakota and Missouri, I would tell the parts counter guy that Ralph Crisp sent me and they almost always opened the attic up for me and sold me any obsolete parts I wanted. I've still got some of Ralphs Buick white uniform shirts with the Buick patches from 1953
