Thriller

Cool. I guess the sanding explains the rust colour on the horizontal surfaces. If you go down to metal, it won't take long before the moisture in the air starts to result in oxidation, and if it was out in rain or high humidity, you can almost watch it turn. I'm looking forward to the additional photos.

Nice.

And they try to tell me I don't know how to install car seats.... Did someone say Sam Adams?

If I correctly guess the subject of this e-mail, the couple is from Manitoba, and they still have a number of cars stored here.

Wow....

Very nice. Welcome aboard.

Yeah, but if you couldn't afford a 69, I'm wondering how you would procure such a beast, short of using force and assorted weaponry... :eek:

Hi Rainwater - I do have the windshield, but I don't want to sell. It will fit my '54 Century Estate Wagon, which has a crack, although for the right deal, I could let it go with the entire car.

You'll have a much more interesting, and hopefully less aggravating, trip than we will. Having to go to Pearson is never fun, particularly when you need to change terminals in a limited amount of time.

ROFLMAO Wasn't it Don Cherry that combined the two into rocket surgeon? At least that's the first I recall hearing it....

'Tis a grand tale ye tell laddie. Welcome aboard.

Very nice...I like the photo placement with the gas pump too.

C'mon Mike...you know we are hanging on every word....

Jake - one thing to keep in mind is that computerized cars tend to have some electrical draw all the time. So, you'd want to be careful of infrequent use...a good battery and running it more regularly may be a good idea. From what I've heard though, you may just decide to use it more than you are thinking. Ours should be on the road soon and Suzanne is really looking forward to it...I'm not looking forward to asking to borrow the car....

Brian - I've been trying to recall what the actual colour was...some sort of Gold if I remember.

I'm pretty sure it's a Special Bob....

I had the pleasure of meeting Charles in Colorado Springs. If you thought his posts were enthusiastic, well, they definitely came from the man as he was brimming with life. I got another opportunity to spend some online time with him when he bought Copper Top, since it was originally purchased here in Winnipeg. I wound up learning a bit of Winnipeg history and the dealership history. Who can forget how excited he was about having a unique Canadian Buick colour combination on that car that wasn't available in the USA? In some respects, I must admit I thought of him as a bit of an odd duck, but he never had anything remotely hurtful to say and, as previously mentioned, he was so full of enthusiasm and vitality for life. I have great respect and admiration for traits like that. If Copper Top doesn't go into the museum, I'd be honoured to be first in line for it between its local history and the reminder of the excitement of a man with a passion for the car.

Still probably closer to you than to me Marck....

If only it weren't so far away....

Hey Brian...you're supposed to look at the mirrors so you don't back into stuff and smash them....;)

For the money charged, I hope they have Hearty Spam Breakfast Skillet or perhaps the Spam Breakfast Burritos.

So, after the cows are milked and you've come in for breakfast...a lot like being at home...except for the cows :rolleyes:

Sigh.

Al - I just sent him a note letting him know you are looking for him.

Snow! I almost miss it...and folks think the weather up here is 12 months of winter (or 11 of winter and 1 of mosquitoes / construction)....
