My uncle Dean passed away this spring. We went out to tour his home before it was sold. They asked if I wanted this old vice that was in the garage.

A gentleman called me and wanted to by my upper grill bar and grill from the burnt Buick. Then he told me he has a Super. I don’t think they are the same………. He thinks they are……

Not sure if you need any parts, but I know where a 1918 is sitting.

We went on "Autumn Drive" yesterday up to Woodstock IL. It is a fall festival that features small farms, apple orchards, flea markets and garage sales. (About 12 different stops)

Ha, One Bid was leaking pretty bad last year. So far this summer and fall it is only leaving a small puddle after driving it. I wll put a diaper on it before I pull it!

I am asking forgiveness in advance to all of you who have Dynaflow transmissions in your cars. A friend of mine worked for Auto Meter for many years. He went to all the race tracks promoting the products. He used to have a mean Cuda that he took to the drag strips. He has been part of the big Sycamore car show for years. He is now part of the DeKalb County Cruisers. He also dabbles in music. The last Culver's Cruise night he sent me this video. He said I inspired him to write it. Watch to the end….. Here are the lyrics if you want to sing along. Dynaflow, Dynaflow, how much longer till you blow. Leaking here and dripping there, Fluid spraying everywhere! Oily coating underneath. Undercoating we'll never need. Pull the dipstick twice a day, Then top it off to all the way! Gonna need to rebuild soon. Starting to sing a whining tune. Slipping clutches spelling doom. She's surely gonna let go soon! Dynaflow, when you let go, We’ll need to call, And get a tow.

We just got back from a trip to Colorado. We drove 2851 miles in a 17 year old Buick that just turned 100,000 miles. On some of the steep grades I had to run in low at 3000 rpm to save the brakes. It used only 3/4 of a qt of oil. (I had the trunk full of tools, just in case)

Thanks!

The first one will be the right side rear seat as she still needs the car seat. I think I will need to put a mount somewhere at the top of the seat as all the new car seats are held in that way. ??

I have a problem! My 4 year old granddaughter saw One Bid and wanted to go for a ride. I told her that the car does not have seat belts and I could not give her a ride in it. Her response was very simple. Take the car seat out of the other car and put it in this one! Then I had to try and explain that we needed seat belts to fasten the car seat. Then she looked at me and said, Grandpa why don’t you get some? Now, what is the best way to properly install seat belts in a 1955 Buick Century 4dr hardtop?

After another bout with COVID, I was able to get to a couple local cars shows yesterday!

Bobcat set up a display at our local Steam Power Show. I took the morning shift. I got to drive One Bid to the car and truck show field. Then I sat and drank coffee, ate snacks all morning, talked to a bunch of old friends, customers and got paid for it!!!!

Just hanging out at the The Parts Place Inc. Show in DeKalb, IL. (Last Saturday)

Turning Back Time Car Show (Sycamore IL) We had some rain drops that kept a lot of people home. They normally have 800-900 cars. Today it was about 420. They give away a trophy for the top 100. (Anybody can vote) So I had a chance and did get a top 100. (And I got a Spot-Free rinse!)

I was finally able to put a video together. Nice to meet everybody. We had a great time!
