Pretty sure I took this photo in 2002 at the Australian Buick Nationals in Tasmania.....this would have been in Queenstown and the car belongs to Rick Cincarini. Great Memories of a great trip which saw us travel for around 3 weeks around the Island state of Tasmania.

Bob, your '34 looks terrific. I hope she finds a great home, but personally I think your price is too low, and someone should snap this one up quick.
Agree...........Bargain

Thanks so much for putting in the effort to post this .......I for one loved watching the whole thing, of course that might have something to do with all the 55's that featured......thanks Mud.

Beautiful day in Melbourne for Christmas day...... Reached 35 degrees Celsius so probably a bit warmer than back home.Back to a cooler 20c today. Hope she enjoyed her Christmas.Merry Christmas to everyone on the Forum and Buick owners worldwide.
To you "down under" folks....my granddaughter moved to Melbourne around the end of October, seems to be having a great time

I'll say it again.....that was a great buy.

Cool looking wagon here Lamar.

And it's just around the corner from you!!

I finally had some time to go for a drive and make a video. I borrowed my son’s Go-Pro camera and tried some different camera angles. Enjoy!
Thanks for the great video Mud.....thoroughly enjoyed it.......especially that chirp of the tires on take off......very cool.

Good for you, was getting worried that I may have to.
BTW, I don't know what to think of anybody that only collects one year of Buicks....
Funny

Wow!...........Who could ask for more.
A great driver that you can enjoy while continuing on the restoration of the 2 door.
Drive the hell out of it and by all means clean it up but I would not get too distracted with major repairs right away..........invest the time in the 2 door.
You're always going to get you money back on this one plus more.
Jealous I am

Very sad news,
I never had the privilege of meeting Paul but it always saddens me when we loose a fellow Buick owner.....condolences to his family and friends
-
I might have some longer ones. I will check once I get back home in a few weeks.
Thanks Mike..........hope you have luck in finding some. BTW I have 2 perfect and polished short ones that would be surplus to me if you or anyone need them for a single color car

Every time I am with Willie (Old Tank) I learn something new about 55 Buicks. I did not know that the rear 1/4 panel spear was different lengths depending if your car was solid or two tone below the glass. I was freaking out because my car was a solid color and I am painting it two tone. Of course these two pieces that I have are perfect and I would now have to find the correct ones. But, I looked at the photos of my car before I took it apart and I have the correct ones for the two tone. So now I am wondering why my car is different. Any Ideas?
Hmmm........
Like you Mud I hadn't realised the difference and seeing I am going from a solid color to two tone I will have to look into finding some as mine are the shorter ones.
Are 56 century special trims the same?
Anyone got a couple they want to sell? Guess I better run an ad in the wanted section.

Thank you, Dave, for continuing to post these superb period photographs for us!
X 2..........the quality of the photos taken 50 - 60 years ago is amazing. Do the Kodachrome slides scan better than ordinary photos?

Love to see some photos of the swap meet as well as the cars attending

Very rare car........well worth restoring.......price depends on how much you want it
2 x 55 Buick Grill Curved Shields
in Buick - Buy/Sell
Posted
After searching all my chrome parts it appears I'm missing the 2 curved shields that partly surround the left and right Dagmars/Bullets at each end of the 55 Buick Grill
Either I've lost them when cleaning up or they never came back from the Chrome Plater with the grill......lesson learned......always take photos of what you drop off and pick up.
I need a left and a right (if they differ)......Not sure if they are chrome or stainless, maybe someone can clarify that for me.
Either way I need a shiny straight set...........so can someone help me with a nice pair at a reasonable price?
To be clear I don't need the Grill......only the curved metal trim/shield as pictured.
