stealthbob Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) Well I went and tweeked my back again trying to take off the rear bumper bolts on my project....I have been putting this job off for that very reason. It's done and now so is my back, which leaves me some chair time.I made up another one of my video/slide shows, this one to a really neat old car song by David Wilcox. The pictures are all from the 1954Buick.com site and feature many of the members cars and the members themselves.Hope you like it......I sure have a blast making these!<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/18841794" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0"></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/18841794">Untitled</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user5748353">Stealth Bobber</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>PS> Yes I realize that the song references a '58...I chose to use artistic license and assume he meant '54 but just couldn't find a good rhyme for it Edited January 16, 2011 by stealthbob (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhambulldog Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I spotted a 55 4door hard top in amongst those 54s. Nicely done. Good song, good video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stealthbob Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks guys...These vids can be a little corny, sometimes I tend to humanize the car too much. Most of us name our cars though so I think on some level we all do humanize them in some way....especially with the 50's cars! They have so much personality.

Guest Rob McDonald Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 BOB, thanks, you did a good job on this and it's made lots of us smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Thanks guys.......especially with the 50's cars! They have so much personality.The 50's cars may have Pesonality, But the Brass Era and teens have "Charactor." The 20's have "Style", The 30's have "Class," The 40's are "Heavenly." The 60's and 70's are "Groovy" The 80's are "comming of age." The 90's and beyond are "still getting us there." ....... Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) My thanks again Bob, GREAT JOB. And thanks again for including me and my ladies. Mom loved my "ol' fittyfo's" as she use to call them. For anyone else that might be old and hard of hearing the lyrics, here they are. I don't look all that ragged for all the time it's been,But I'm weakened underneath me where my frame is rusted thin.And this year's state inspection just barely passedWon't you drive me 'cross the country, boy,This year could be my last.I'm a tailfin road locomotive from the days of cheap gasoline,And I'm for sale by the side of the road going nowhere,A rusty old American dream.I rolled off the line in Detroit back in 1958,Spent three days in the showroom, that's all I had to wait.I've been good to all who owned me, so have no fear;C'mon, boy, put your money down and get me out of here!I'm a tailfin road locomotive from the days of cheap gasoline,And I'm for sale by the side of the road going nowhere,A rusty old American dream.This car needs a young man to own himOne who will polish the chrome,I will give you the rest of my lifetime,But don't let me die here alone.Just jump me some juice to my battery,Give that old starter a spin,Hear me whir, sputter, backfire through the carberator,And roar into life once again.I'm a tailfin road locomotive,You can polish my chrome so cleanWe can fly off into the sunset together,A rusty old American dream. And for anyone else that might be old and can't see WAD, click on the little box with the 4 arrows for full screen. Click ESC to get back to normal.

BUKE Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hey Bob. Thanks for the video it made my day up here in Massachusetts with the snow is about 3 feet around my garage. Just to cold to go out and turn a wrench. I really did enjoy it as much as I do Mr. Earle's tunes. Frank have a great Buick day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
