Guest shorttimer Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Congratulations on your new purchase. We look forward to hearing more about it.I think you will find the '60 Buick to be a good road car. Mine even tolerates LA traffic on occasion with no complaints. They have their quirks, but are really pretty simple to maintain.If you did not receive one with the car, I would highly recommend purchasing a copy of the Chassis Service Manual for 1960. They are invaluable and come up on ebay all the time for less than $40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rickcattis Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 ThanksNo, I have heard the Burgandy isnt the original colour and I havent broken down the numbers to see what was the original colour but yea we like that colour, not a too big of a contrast to the white body so we are not using it as a show car so it will stay.Yea I have a workshop manual so I am sure that I will be reading that alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhambulldog Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Very Nice!!The joy of owning a convertible is getting to choose a new top color from time to time.I had a convertible for 28 years. During that time, i had the top three different colors.I like your car!! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
