The Old Guy

I compliment all of you for trying to fix the BCA, but I feel it will NEVER be what it was ( a group of people who enjoyed cars for what they are . )

If the radiator cap is good , it may be that you are filling the rad too full. The next time it loses coolant leave it alone and see if it stops discharging fluid.

By shaking , do you mean it idles rough ,or does it have a vibration at a specific RPM ????

I was named " the old guy " by members of the Gran Sport club, and I guess it stuck !! (I am 81)

Mark You are in the minority here and the fact that you actually 'enjoy your cars ' for what they are ; which is travelling , I fought the BCA for many years , and finally just "threw in the towel "

How old is old???? I drive my 92 Wagon every day

Derek When you get old ,and can't walk well, you can get a "handicapped sticker" ( I used to park in them before it was legal )

Roberta is not only a major part of the Buicktown chapter, but also was one of the Major people responsible for the Flint Based "Back to the Bricks" extravaganza that is now looked upon as one of the MAJOR car shows in the USA. It rates right up there with the "woodward dream Cruise"

Dale You can officially be "The Old Guy" as I threw in the towel when Buicks became trophies rather than cars. I still DRIVE mine and although the undercarriage is dirty, the only person that will see it is the guy I run over, and he won't be able to tell !!!!

The Hobby has evolved into something other than what it was when I got into it !!! I still enjoy the people, and the cars, but not the emphasis some people put on on correctness. Many of the "Trailer Queens are NOT properly restored, but the money invested in them seems to get all the attention!!! Drive them and enjoy what you have !!

Back to the Bricks is 2 weeks of fun , and all it costs is the price of the gas you burn ! The people cruise the roads, so you can park and watch the cars .

Pete The info I received said that they want $100 entrance fee No auction is worth that . They do have some NICE woodie Wagons though !!

I drove my 40 Convert to 2 car shows today

I have put 120;000 on my 40 with bias ply tires , and haven't wrecked it yet !!!!1

Buick NEVER built a car that had "perfect paint or door fit" but the judges will gig you for them

I just received word that Roberta is conscious and wearing a neck brace . She has also told the Doctors ,she wants to go home

Roberta has been a real friend for many years, and Bernice and I will be saying "lots" of prayers for her

Don't forget the " Back to the Bricks " in flint on the same weekend !!!!

Thanks Pete !!! You do a GREAT job

I am pleased to see that the "Buickman Award" is going to members that still realize that Buicks are meant to be DRIVEN Congratulations !!!!! Joe T

I drove my 40 Super convert yo the A&W cruise and that is the extent of the use for it !! I go to cruises ,because I can arrive when I want , talk to who I want , and leave when I want.

My wife drove our 37 ,and I drove the 40 convert to a how at my son's church Sunday for a show . . The wife drives the 37 because it has power steering and brakes, and an automatic trans

I visited 5 cemataries today, and put out flags for my my Father (marine ) 2 uncles (army) and my father in law ( Calvary) I was lucky ,and got drafted at the end of the Korean war , and the truce was signed, and they sent me to Europe. (Army)

I knew Joe and was always impressed by his knowledgs of Buicks. He will be missed Joe Taubitz

I drove the 40 convert to a cruise Saturday and put about 45 miles on it !
