Guest 1957_Buick_Roadmaster_75 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) I was watching TV the other day and ran across this clip from the 1963 film "The Birds" I did a search on youtube and found it there and thought someone might enjoying seeing it.... When I first saw it I thought it might have been my 1957, but after closer review I determined it was a 1955...After studding the video, I will have to agree it looks like a Century not a Roadmaster... But it is still cool to see the old videos... Even if I am wrong again.... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/D15HPy4x73g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Edited January 11, 2012 by 1957_Buick_Roadmaster_75 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shadetree77 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Nahhhh....she's just a little toasty. Maybe a dent or two on the passenger side. I always cringe when I see Hollywood destroying another classic. Although I guess in '63 that Buick was still considered a newer car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oldie & Goodie Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Saw this movie as a kid and it scared the bejesus out of me. Now as an older adult it scared me again watching the Buick get toasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhigdog Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 looks like a Century to me...................Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 100% certain it is a Century. The side emblem behind the drivers door is clearly visible denoting it as a Century. The Roadmaster in 55 and 56 had the humpback trunk that I never really cared for.Yes, that was one scary movie!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhigdog Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 First clue was the parking lites. On a Roadie they are faired into the bottom of the head lamps..............Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearhead Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 David Niven wrote some very funny books shortly before he died. In one, he told a funny story about Alfred Hitchcock.Alfred was driven to a lavish Hollywood premier one time. Big event with all the media covering it and lots of photographers and journalists and looky loos. They even had bleachers set up for spectators to see their favorite celebrities.There was a PA announcer to annouce the arrival of the dignitaries. When Hitchcock arrived, the announcer got tongue tied and announced the arrival of "Alfred Hitchcar's cock" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
