jscheib Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Mr. Earl,Only you would have found that. Is that some advert exec's idea that just happened to coincide with the National, or did the National have any influence on the advert?John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

74455 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Great pictures, appreciate the effort to take and post them! Were there any nice LeSabres, Centurions, or Electras there from the 70s? Any Estate Wagons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmfconsult Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Not that many 70's full size there... here's a couple of pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_MrEarl Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I tried to figure out how to link to these pictures without giving access to all my PhotoBucket Albums but my little brain just couldn't figure it out. Hopefully all these pictures don't create a loading problem with this thread. I certainly don't want to upset Roberta. She already reminded me at the breakfast last Friday to be careful 'cause she can turn me on...and she can turn me off. (edit-as in a moderator can can turn someone off if they are bad...just thought I might better explain...just in case) So anyhow here are my favorites or the greatest Buick National yet. (IMO)At the Atlanta airport, picture taken by a very nice Dixie Chapter President Jan Stegler Couldn't believe my eyes when after arriving at Sea-Tac Airport and while hailing a cab I look up ans see thisLuckily the Doll Museum/Seattle Botanical Garden tour allowed anyone wanting to skip one or the other to do so. Mr Myer chose to go to the Doll Museum. He later explained that he thought it was the other kind of "dolls". The gardens were beautiful that day, as was my sweet Reet.

buick840 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Excellent photos Lamar. Made me feel like I was there Seeing all those beautiful Buicks just makes me more determined to get to Flint next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serb Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Dang it, Dang it, I need to get a new keyboard because I just drooled all over this one. Great pictures Lamar.

That customized 54 looks really well done and great in the pictures, did it look that good in real life? I also enjoyed seeing the unrestored woodie wagon. Was that "driftwood" ? I think they drove that car to Rochester last year. I hope that car stays original forever, it's perfect as is.Thanks again Lamar.Mikep.s. I noticed your wife had a name tag on a lanyard, did you put "Mrs. Earl" on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Now that was an excellent display. Great Shots Lamar! So sad we could not make it out there with you.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcatsrule Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Excellent photos Mr. Earl!!! Thanks for helping us get our Buick fix! That turquoise '54 convertible resto mod must have been a sight-I don't know who took more pics of it-you or Roberta! I liked the one that showed the sea of Rivieras-I didn't realize until I saw them parked side by side from the rear view that the '79-'85 Rivs had design cues that resembled the '63-'64 Rivs. Looks like the weather was perfect-I'm sure a good time was had by all. Nobody has mentioned, though if there were any bargains to be had at the swap meet-and what kind of offerings were there in the cars for sale area?

Guest imported_Thriller Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I'll try to answer a couple of questions...yes, that was the same unrestored woody as in Rochester last year...he had a lot less distance to cover this year.The '70 Estate Wagon won an archival award - I was one of the team judging it.One of the most striking sights to me was a pair of GSs - one black with gold, the other the inverse colour of gold with black - parked side by side. I think I got a photo of that, but the laptop is packed away now as we are leaving Oregon tomorrow morning as soon as we can get away. I do have quite a few more photos, it's just a matter of deciding on the best (without repeating too much), and getting them up. I'll be getting home on Wednesday, so I ought to be able to get a few more up by Thursday some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_Thriller Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Here's some photos I've chosen from among the ones we took. If all works well, they'll be clickable thumbnails, so click on the ones you want to look at and hopefully it won't get too crazy on the loading time.I forget the year of this project car, but it was really neat to see there.Great display of hood ornaments - the framed piece is an explanation...unfortunately, we don't have a close-up of that.A great hearse.The front entrance to the Hilton.A beautiful woody from the late 40s.'37s and '38s.I chatted with the owner a bit - this '72 is an original car...a real beauty (and no Kris, not quite enough to get me to buy one). There was a model in the same colour at the Stamart in Fargo yesterday.Finally, some of the early Buicks.I tried to pick photos of cars that haven't necessarily been posted already, although it has been a while since I went through some of Roberta's pictures, so they may have slipped through my memory. If there is anything you saw that you may want to see a photo of, let me know and I'll see if we have it, since we do have quite a number of photos.

buick840 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Derek, Any photos of some 65/66 Wildcats? I don't recall seeing any posted yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Thriller Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I'll check - there was a '66 four door done as a police car (don't know if it was original or not) and I know there was at least one '65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 There were two '65 Wildcat convertibles, a '66 Wildcat 2-door hardtop, and the '66 Wildcat sedan that Derek mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Thriller Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I'm afraid I don't have any photos of those cars.Interesting that there were 4 - if I counted correctly, 6 were registered...of course, mine didn't make it. I also noted that a 1929 Series 129 was registered...unless it was the racer, there was no 1929 there (which is a shame for me owning one as well).

Centurion Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Derek, I realized after my earlier post that there were actually three '65 Wildcat convertibles. Gene Sorensen's red Wildcat Custom convertible, Chuck Dickinson's Astro Blue convertible with the wire wheel covers from Portland, and Ron Neibauer's Astro Blue Wildcat Deluxe convertible from Spokane.

42crazy Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Mr. Earl, great pictures, and good to finally get to meet you. But, I have a few complaints, 1. The name is Paul, not Mr. and 2. Meyer is spelled Meyer, not Myer. I was disappointed by the Doll Museum, thought it was the 'other' dolls, and, I too am trying to figure out how to stack round rocks, they will have to be drilled with a diamond drill, a roto hammer probably won't work. Thanks again for the great photos, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
