1955_Special Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Many thanks to Mr Earl for his help in my quest for a beautiful 1955 Buick...she arrived today from Florida, on my 40th birthday, after several months of searching. Squeezed her into the garage tonight after a few trips around the neighborhood.Much to do, but all is well.Thanks Mr Earl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Happy Birthday Matt!!! Always glad to help put someone in an old Buick. And what a great birthday present they do make. Texas Pete was my 60th birthday present. Hope to see you and it in person someday. Maybe Danvers in '11 or Charlotte in '12. Please post up some more pics. I think that's classy color scheme.
