I know Marty already figured out how the accident happened (what with Mom's Chesterfield and Walter Winchell and all), but I DO wonder exactly how the car ended up perched in that particular position! Thanks Neil, Not being an accident investigative reporter, this is only a wyldA$$ guess, but, The passenger side of the Buick is relatively undamaged with the exception of the leading portion of the right front fender. Maybe while swerving first left, and then right (?) to avoid the squirrel, most of the car passed left of the utility pole with the right side lifting off the ground. The front passenger fender and bumper made rapid, and solid tangent contact with the utility pole, raising the front, and subsequently the entire right side. The front of the car appears to have been stopped by the house and fence, coming back down to earth as a result of the weight of the massive Buick Straight Eight. The rear of the car, still airborne from the left, and then sudden right swerve, cleared the pole but didn't have sufficient space to settle back down. This apparent 1941 4-door Torpedo body style has amazing rigidity - yet another fine example of Buick's structural Strength - ... or maybe the little girls knew that stepping on the accelerator with the ignition switched on would produce that magnificent "purring" sound, and they either didn't know the car was in gear, or they just took it for a "JOY RIDE"? The look on the little one's face is saying "I KNOW NOTHING!" Edited April 15, 2020 by Marty Roth (see edit history) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buicknutty Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 There is no doubt those bodies are strong. My Roadmaster coupe certainly is. You can jack one wheel up off the ground, and the door still opens and closes just fine. Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAVES89 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Hey Bernie, Looks like you could use a driver's side visor. I could look for one if you would like. My local You Pick is pretty large and they are open as an essential business. If interested email me at; lemke1044@aol.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) That's Jayne on the 1955 Wildcat. Her high school cheerleader hairdo must be a disguise. Waldorf-Astoria, wow. Around here the best we can do is a Pepsi from the machine by the parts counter. How to make the junkyard owner smile, you know how ill tempered they usually are.
