There was Jim Maclean's '56 Roadmaster, and <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Click to reveal.. <input type="button" class="form-button" value="Show me!" onclick="toggle_spoiler(this, 'Yikes, my eyes!', 'Show me!')" /></div><div class="ubbcode-body"><div style="display: none;">Dave and Becky Pettengill's '79 Century Turbo</div></div></div>Wrong, I think it was Tom Halka's his is white, Dave and Becky's is gray in the background of the Lincoln, they spent too much time on. They never made it down to where our Buicks were parked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron65 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I'm always curious about the cars he highlights; they're usually not my taste. Spend a little less time on them, and maybe get 7 or 8 into an episode! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raleets Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Aaron65 and All,Let me preface by stating that I'm as gung-ho "Buick" as most anyone out there. Past BCA Board member, Chapter Director, etc., etc., BUT....In all due respect, the purpose of inviting Dennis Gage and "My Classic Car" to Flint was NOT all about Buicks. The Back To The Bricks Car Show & Cruise is all about reliving the "good old days" in downtown Flint, on the bricks, with our cool old cars and trucks. By having the show on "My Classic Cars" it shows the entire nation that Flint is alive and well, NOT the dreaded place to live that some have painted.Back To The Bricks is NOT a "Buick" show. It's a "car show" for everyone. And, what a concept, it's absolutely FREE to all participants, whether they drive a Buick, Chevy or Amphicar.Over 9,000 vehicles were displayed over the three days of the show, which has been expanded to four days for 2008.All "guesstimates" indicate well over 50,000 spectators attended as well. All for FREE!So, dear friends of Buick, please do not pout or be "put off" that Dennis Gage didn't feature Buicks just because Flint is a "Buick town". Instead, be super-happy that he featured FLINT, the birthplace of Buick!Nuff said,Bob Leets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUICK RACER Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 Yeah, Bob is absolutely correct, and it is one of the best things to hit Flint, MI. Now for some more Flint news, the Movie "Semi-Pro" out this Friday, was filmed somewhat in Flint, lots of good things being said by Will Ferrell, and the director, check out The Flint Journal For more cool stuff about Flint!
