38Buick 80C Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Here are just a few Buicks that were at Hershey. A couple from the flea market, the car corral and the showfield. Also a couple very interesting non-Buicks. One of the 6 Stainless Steel 1936 Fords produced in coordination with/by Allegheny Steel and the only Convertible Tucker.For more info on the interesting Non-BuicksAllegheny Ludlum Stainless SteelThe Official Site of the Tucker Convertible!

Thriller Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Thanks for sharing Brian. I'd like to get to Hershey some year, if for no other reason than to experience it and to spend some time with Buick friends that attend regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38Buick 80C Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Dave, No I mostly took pictures on Friday and it was gone by Friday. I really wanted to see it and obviously wasn't fast enough. Oh and not only was my father there , but one of our newest BCA members, my older brother Kevin also made it out on Friday with me.Derek, You HAVE to go, it's like nothing else!

chuckfmtexas Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) We were there with the 32 Buick model 67 Tues -Friday on the Chocolate Field and then on the showfield Saturday morning. We were fortunate to receive our Senior award. There were some beautiful Buicks on the showfield and I have some pictures I will post later.Chuck NixonFort Worth, TX Edited October 14, 2009 by chuckfmtexas (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Eaton Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Chucks 1932 won a Senior Gold at the BCA Colorado Springs meet, it also won the "Spirit of Buick" award presented by Mr. Bvlgari. I hope you can bring it to Salado in April so more Texas people can see the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckfmtexas Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Barney, just got the car back tonight from Hershey. We will plan to come to Salado in April. I wanted to bring it last year but had a conflict with AACA Charlotte and the rear main had a serious oil leak which is now fixed.We want to share and show the car as much as we can to let others appreciate the wonderful designs GM and Buick produced in 1932.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Maine Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I fell in love with the dark green '73 Riviera boattail in the car corral. 20,000 original miles, beautiful car. It was there Weds and Thurs but was gone Friday afternoon. I wanted to bring it home so bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1940_Buick Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 This is that Buick while it was still sleeping, before it was brought back out into the public eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Maine Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 38 Buick - well, there's always Hershey 2010. I intend to find myself a better Buick than my '71 LeSabre. It's in decent shape with 120K on it but the tranny is getting weak and it has a driveline vibration that bothers above 55 mph. I just don't dare to take it that far. I had a '66 LeSabre that I sold in 2005 - wish I hadn't now, but that's water over the dam. I'd like to find a '65-'70 with low miles and working power accessories, but have always liked the boattail. Not too fond of the styling of full sized Buicks from '73-'76 but I did see that light yellow '76 LeSabre 4 door hardtop with 25K on it in the Chocolate field. Could have come home with that, too, because it was a 4 door hardtop. Actually, this is the first time I've gone to Hershey that I could afford to buy something and didn't. I recently inherited from my uncle and there wasn't much in the car corral that I couldn't have purchased but until things get completely settled, I'm hesitant to spend any of it.
