Mr Buick

FINALLY! Seems a little late doesn't it? Got mine today!! 3/14/06 Gotta hurry up and wait! John in Wisconsin.

Pete,......way to let the wind out of his sails! He just got a new car, help the man celebrate! GM has been that way for decades, no sence hashing over stuff that has been discussed before. If I'm not mistaken, all the GM lines are the same way. We have a model, they call Buick, why not enjoy it while we have it. Unless there is some way you can contact the big wigs at GM and tell them to just build one line and call it........??? whatever,....this is what we have. LEE,.......ENJOY YOUR BUICK! John

She sure is a beauty Lee,.....I see you got the 6 cylinder! You'll love it! I hope for you many trouble free driving years! Good Luck, John

Would anyone out there have a set of front chrome wheel well trim for a 64-65 Skylark they would like to sell? I have the rear set, so I just need the fronts. I would like something in good to excellent condition. Thanks, John JSimonson@TDS.net

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't their LaCrosse look like our Lucerne?????

Anyone have any good used or new Redline tires they want to sell? I am looking for a set for my 65 Skylark GS. F70X14 or P215/75R14 or something near that size. Thanks, John JSimonson@TDS.net

Well,....3Jakes,...there's your problem doncha see......you were editor of a Chrysler publication....I can see where it would be hard to find something to talk about each month!!!! LOL!! (No offense mind you, just having a little fun!)

The Bugle is my way of keeping up with what's going on in the Buick Club. I don't have a local chapter here in Central Wisconsin that I can rely on. (I have been thinking about starting one, any takers?) Should the Bugle go Bi-Monthly???????? WILL OUR DUES DECREASE???????? My answer is......keep it once a month. Tank ya den! John

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">How many cars usually attend the national events? Unfortunately, Rochester is scheduled during the same week end as the big vette deal out in the Black Hills which I always attend. Now I have to make a choice. I've never attended a Buick National event. Is it a good time? Thanks. </div></div> Getting back to your original question.....the way I look at it,.....if you have the chance to go to the Corvette show every year, and the Buick show is in your neighborhood this year,...I'd take in the Buick show, 'cause you can always go to the Vetter show. Maybe we'll see you there? I'll have the black over white 65 Skylark GS. John Neillsville, Wisconsin

I am looking for a radio antenna and cable for a 64 Skylark,.....anyone have one for sale? Thanks, John attached is a photo of the one I have, note the end is gone.

Anyone have a set of new or nearly new Redline tires they want to sell for my 65 Skylark GS? I need size 7.75 X 14 or P205/75R14. I would like to have radials if possible. Thanks for your help. John

I have a 300 engine from a 64 Skylark for sale. It has been sitting for 20 years. It ran when it was parked. Good oil pressure, and compression. I have photos if you need them. The engine is complete. $300.00 or make an offer, I need to sell ASAP. H-715-743-2253, located in Wisconsin. I will haul up to 2 hours from here for minimal cost if anyone wants to meet me, etc. Thanks for your time. John JSimonson@TDS.net

Thank you Roberta,.......and ask if we can get that replaced "under warranty"!! John

Anyone have a nice 68 or 69 Skylark or GS for sale in the upper midwest? Willing to spend a little for one, but it has to be nice. Perfer buckets and floor shift and console. Color doesn't matter, perfer not green. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, John W-888-743-3207 ext 238 days or JSimonson@TDS.net

Here is another photo of the Buick grill and the Northstar engine.....you can see the Caddy logo at the top of the photo!

I need the chrome trim pieces that are shaped like a horseshoe and go around the rear tail light housings on a 64 Skylark. I have enclosed a photo. If anyone has a set or know where I can get a set, please email me. Thanks, John JSimonson@TDS.net

I was visiting an old elementary school buddy today at his place of employment, and I was wishing I had my digital camera with me.....he took me into his boss' garage and showed me his 1942 Buick Roadmaster Convertible!!!! Only 2 known to exhist!!! This one and one in Italy. I almost pooped my drawers! He spent over $100K to restore this and it is drop dead beautiful! Yes he said he is taking it to the Rochester meet. You won't believe your eyes! Next time I go there I'll get a sneak photo for you! John

I have a 90 Reatta hdtp, Black with Tan leather, 58,000 miles, beautiful condition. Never in snow or salt thus no rust,...ever. The car is just like new......what's she worth? I don't have a photo, but it is very nice. I had someone offer me $5000.00 for it, but I think that is a little low, shouldn't a car like that fetch about $8 or $9000.00?? Your thoughts please. Thanks, John
