  2. And just how does someone keep a car in this condition for almost 70 years if not in his climate controlled living room with a fence around it and with weekly maid service? Certainly not in a barn.
  3. This is Edie Adams, famous star of the '50's and '60's, and wife of Ernie Kovacs, and her 1954 Lincoln Capri convertible.
  4. In 1953, Chevy made a shorter-coupled coupe body in both the 150 and 210 series and named it the "club coupe". As I have not been able to find this coupe body in the 1954 lineup, it was evidently dropped for 1954. The 1954 "club coupe" (as featured above) was actually the longer roofed 2-door sedan body used both in '53 and '54. The 1953 business coupe was the shorter bodied 2-door. In 1954, the business coupe was only offered in the 2-door sedan body. Both the shorter "coupe" and the 2-door sedan had the same wheelbase. 1953 210 club coupe 1953 club coupe brochure 1953 full line brochure (16 models in 3 series) 1954 full line brochure (13 models, 3 series) 150 short club coupes and 210 convertible dropped.
  5. Here's a little more info on the specs for the 6th generation Riviera ('79-'85). It appears to have been available with the 307" Olds V-8 engine in addition to the Buick V-6 and not the 350 V-8.. 1981 saw the Turbo renamedT-Type and the demise of the 350 engine in favor of the Oldsmobile-built 307 cu in (5.0 L) with 140 hp (104 kW) (phased in during the 1980 MY). The standard engine was now Buick's 125 hp (93 kW) 252 cu in (4.1 L) V6, and a new option was an Oldsmobile diesel engine with a mere 105 hp (78 kW) offered through 1985. 1982 also saw the first-ever Riviera convertible, although relatively few were built, owing to a high price - US$23,944 ($72,608 in 2022 dollars [13]).[40] The Riviera convertible was available in only two color choices-white or red firemist with the only interior color of red leather. A twin-turbocharged Riviera convertible was chosen to be the pace car at the 1983 Indianapolis 500, tuned to produce 410 hp (306 kW).[42] Most convertible Rivieras had the V8 engine, which saw an increase in rated SAE net HP to 150 for both convertibles and coupes fitted with it from 1982 through the 1985 model year.
  6. I had a friend back in the day with the J-2 package in his black 88 hardtop. Nobody messed with him, Chevys included.
  7. One of none two tone paint. All '60 Larks had monotone paint jobs. It would have looked better if the panel between the tail lights had been painted the lighter tone. Looks like a little rust on the rockers under the doors, both sides. It may not be anything serious, but my experience with Studebakers would require a close inspection. Fenders and frames are always suspect, too.

  9. I would think the cost of having the brake line fixed and even the headliner re-glued could be recouped by bumping the price accordingly. Doesn't seem like a bad car overall. A nice alternative to a Cad Seville.
  10. Thought I'd look them up. Sounds like a cool place for a burger and a brew.
  11. .Yes....if those countries did not build and sell cars through the years they were at war, which I do not know for sure. If their production continued longer, which I doubt, then pre-war cars would have a later date (until production was suspended). Got it? 😵‍💫
  12. Well, I guess the GM designers at Chevy drew the line when they saw what Pontiac came up with in '55.
  13. Here's another one you might want to keep the dog, the grandkids, and their ice cream cones out of. Probably be a hit at a local car show and at the old folks home. As nice as it is, I feel an offer around $7,500. would be tops.
  14. Well, probably $20k for the car and $50k+ for the butt print (documented, of course).
  15. A good restoration could take care of that and all the termites, too. Rust worms might be more difficult.
  16. My folks drove a '41 series 61 Cadillac sedan for a number of years after the war. What were the main differences between that and the series 63 other than the extended turtle deck on the 63? ...wheel base? ...engine specs? ...interior trim? I understand, though, the LaSalle and the series 61 Cadillac co-existed before 1941, the series 61 survived when the LaSalle was dropped for "41. '41 series 61 sedan '41 series 63 sedan
  17. Sounds like it's a flip to me...appears solid and complete, but the paperwork problems would preclude a purchase. Let the seller straighten it out and then re-list.
