MrEarl Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) more......recognize anybody? and yes damnit, before anybody says anything, I forgot to bring my black shoes. VV V and lastly, I offered Bob the alternative of either contributing a small sum of $$ to Buick Gardens in exchange for destruction of the following electronic files but he declined. The first picture was his apparently unsuccessful attempt to bribe the judge, the second, his "I kept telling her I was married" scene and the third, well, if the blond had seen it she would have figured she didn't have a chance anyway!!! AND A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;) Edited March 15, 2012 by MrEarl (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serb Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I was going to mention the black shoes, it is a good thing you jumped in first. Although, I am sure there was a shoe store in the vicinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stealthbob Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 How can you notice the shoes with that hat?Add in the flash of that toothy grille under the mustash bar and and mix in the sweepspear and portholes on the arm and I doubt I would even notice the shoes he was wearing.

NTX5467 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Thanks for the pictures! Looks like y'all had a great time AND also let others see a slice of '54 Buick history. The '54 styling sure looks "advanced" compared to the Rolls next to it.Enjoy!NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick5563 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I initially was going to come up with some Smart-A$$ comment about Mr. Earl Then I looked at the pictures....I honestly have become jaded to the beauty of the Landau, as the last few Nationals I have hung out with Bob and Lamar shootin' the breeze and BS'ing the days away. As I once again looked at the car in pictures in this setting, I realized how lucky...NAY ...fortunate, to have had the opportunity to be around this once in a lifetime automobile. Thank you, Uncle Bob, for continuing to share the Landau with the automotive community whether you win a stupid $20 plastic trophy or not. It is a gorgeous car.

BUICK RACER Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Lamar, don't worry about the shoes, cause you didn't have a purse that they wouldn't have matched, besides you were in FL on the BEACH!!!Very cool!!! Nicely done guys!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I'm with Mike on this one...

Glassesguy Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Great pics, guys. One of my highlights attending the Danvers Meet was meeting Lamar, the 54 Landau, and Bob Coker who invited me to sit down so he could tell me more about this car.I'll bet the car didn't place because on the sign somebody misspelled Harlow Curtice's name. What other possible reason could there have been??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I'll bet the car didn't place because on the sign somebody misspelled Harlow Curtice's name. What other possible reason could there have been???Probably the shoes!!! sorry Bob, I noticed a lot of typo's in a lot of the signs. Good proof readers are hard to find these days I guess....

JohnD1956 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Two very lucky guys and a lot of others. That Landau is the grand prize in itself, regardless what the judges say. Thanks for sharing these Lamar. And thanks for being a member of this community Bob. You guys are wonderful Buickmen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1957buickjim Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Lamar and Bob: Looks like y'all had a T-riffic time there! Thanks for sharing all the photos and good times. I am really looking forward to meeting both of you in Charlotte this year. Heck, I;ll even bring some black shoe dye for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Glad everyone is enjoying the "show". I know I sure did. But Jim no need for the shoe dye, done took care of that. and in case everyone hasn't recognized the guy in the glasses, that would be Car Crazy Barry Meguiar. And he was the same in person as on TV. Always wanting to get up close to the person he's interviewing, know what I'm talking about? Great guy though. Almost died about a year ago of viral pneumonia or something like that. Brought him closer to God he says. And the other guy there is Fred Zwicker who is restoring a '54 Special and will have it at Charlotte. He also has a '57 and has just purchased an extremely low mileage '56 Century Convertible. He owns TP Tools, a great auto restoration tool company. Check it out. Tip Plus Corp. dba Tp Tools & Equipment - Local Business - Canfield - Photos | FacebookMet some other sorta famous folks too but let's not get too far OT here.

Barney Eaton Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Thanks for posting the pictures. Just having the Buick at great shows like Amelia Island helps the cause. See all of you at Charlotte, looking forward to seeing old Buick friends and meeting new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert K. Blair Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hats Off to Bob Coker. As the son of the man who saved the Landau, I can't tell you how proud my Father would be today...Bob Coker has done a first-class job with the Landau. I saw it in October of 08 and was dismayed by the shoddy interior; Mr. Coker has done a masterful job of restoring the Landau to its original stature. Many thanks Bob, and please let me know who the new owner is...Rob Blairblairr40@yahoo.comAustin, TX512-924-6778 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackofalltrades70 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 O.k. I figured it out!!! If you mouse over the thread before opening it, it says something about fity fos and High bidder being from St. Louis and with the help of a third party, I was able to........I think he thought the car was sold, but that was the start of the thread in March of 2010.
