Dandy Dave Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 ........... That sure is one sexy Buick!!! I'm a little short on cash right now though so I'll have to pass. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Wow!, 6 days to go, and 18 bids up to 56K, and the reserve is not met. We could fix all of Mr. Earls 54's for that type of money...Nice car though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 What's the matter Thriller, Cat got your tounge??? I think maybe you fellers put him into shock and he's passed out on the floor! Most often he ain't this quite. Of course maybe his wife has him tied up so he cannot push that "Bid Button". Can't say that I would blame her. Dandy Dave!

Mark Shaw Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I suspect Thriller is in Oshowa for the Canadian Buick shin-dig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50jetback Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 I can see Thriller will be raelly annoyed at missing this one $65,100 at the 19th bid and still not at reserve.This is very obviously a high class professional restoration on what would have to be a contender for the best looking Buick ever built ( personal view ).There are a couple of things that are annoying and you wouldn't expect from such a beautiful/expensive restoration.Have a look at the front end photo paying particular attention to the horn alignment. There is some adjustment on the mounting brackets but they are a long way out of alignment. Then have a look at the rear end photo, again the tailights seem to be out of alignment ( or it may be the bumper ).Not big issues but if paying that sort of money it would need to be right, or am I just being too picky????

jscheib Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Also, for top price, someone should have recreated, or found, a spark plug cover.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50jetback Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 Is this car going to go six figures?11 bidders, 20 bids, $71,100, still not at reserve and another 4 days to go.Which bidder are you Thriller? Playing your cards very close to the chest? watch out, Mr Earl is sitting off waiting to "snipe" in the last 30 seconds of the auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick840 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Hey Stuart,You wouldn't be trying to drive the interest and price up on this car so as to make a certain other 34 more valuable would you Just kidding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Thriller Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Rumours of my demise are exaggerated...Mark had it right...we flew to Toronto last Thursday, rented a 2008 Lucerne, and drove to Oshawa for the McLaughlin Buick Club of Canada Homecoming...there were a few Kiwis there to boot. We got home after midnight last nigh and I'm slowly catching up on the forums.At over $70k, Suzanne doesn't have to worry about me bidding, unless the lottery comes through tonight (over $40M). It is a nice car...on the weekend, we were looking at the pre-war cars, and I forget which year Suzanne liked most, but it was either '33 or '34...I couldn't disagree, but there were no '35s or '36s in the mix. I would prefer my 30s car to be an open car, but I guess we'll see when the time comes. Preferably, I won't need to sell a child to be able to purchase one.

Dandy Dave Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 $71,100 and the reserve was not met. Who da thunk??? I wonder if Elliot, all totaled up, paid more for the tail he was gittin??? At least this ride you could keep! Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Dave, Elliott was willing to pay that much because apparently he did not want to keep the ride he was getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
