Marty Roth Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Finally - shots of our 34-57.She was originally delivered to a California Central Valley preacher who kept her until repainting and upholstering in 1970 for his son who did not want it. At that time she went to a friend of ours in Colorado Springs. I first saw the blue 4-door in 1990 on the Glidden Tour, and brought her back to Louisiana in 1995. She drove several Glidden Tours and Western VMCCA Tours, and then in 2006 we decided to do some minor repairs which turned into a full restoration.The wood was absolutely solid, as was the body, with no rust whatsoever, and no dings with the exception of one front fender. The best part was that she was 100% complete.Since the restoration was completed early this spring, we decided to enter her in the AACA Meet at Stowe, vermont where the Buick was awarded her 1st Place Junior. We expect to enter her for Senior consideration at Bristol, TN in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Roth Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Thanks Guys,Positive comments from this group means more than any trophies and plaques ever could. You know what it takes to preserve, to maintain, to ressurect old iron; to carefully make it better than when you found it; ---and then to share your family's years of effort with the "outside world", doing parades, cruise nights, Veterans' Homes, Senior Citizen lunches -- offering to transport a bride -- driving in a departed friend's Funeral Procession (we have one of these tomorrow - Frank Mancuso, a long-time car enthusiast and World War II Veteran, member of St. Bernard Chapter of Louisiana Region, AACA).Your thoughtful comments and good wishes do bolster the satisfaction of keeping another wonderful Buick on the road --- and really help to offset the aggravation, the delays, rising costs.The best part is the sharing community -- just let folks know what you need, and it seems like a special corner of the "Old-Car Universe" swings into action, trying to help you locate that special item.

Paul Dobbin Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Marty,You have fine tastes in automobiles, always a pleasure to see them.Your 1934 Buick is really special, I hope I get to see it in person. Question: Is the series 57 the same in 34 & 35 like the series 41?When I bought my 1935 series 41, a friend bought a 1934 Series 41 and we had them both delivered to my house. The big difference was one had a white band on the instruments with black numbers and the other had black band with white numbers.When we had the second prototype Sentimental Tour (Lexington KY) I had toreplace my registered 34 Ford Phaeton with a modern car, so I took the 35 Buick.Were you there?I've read that the smaller series 40 line saved Buick in the depression and think of it as an economy Buick.Paul Edited July 22, 2011 by Paul Dobbin spelling (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
