Guest BigDogDaddy Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 March 22 or 3/22 is the date to celebrate Buick's first V-8 engine. The Buick 322 is affectionately called the Nailhead. It was quite an impressive engine in it's day. It is a smooth running engine and has plenty of Buick's Legendary torque.When it debuted, it had the industry's highest compression ratio. Yes, I posted about this last year, and I will keep posting it until it becomes accepted as the norm or a genuine National Holiday. If I were president, I would declare March 22 a National Holiday.So if you have a Nailhead powered vehicle, take it for a ride and Celebrate the Nailhead, and if someone asks you about your car, tell them it is National Nailhead Day and explain to them what that means.HAPPY NAILHEAD DAY !Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buick5563 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 If I were president, I would declare March 22 a National Holiday.If you abolished daylight savings time at the same time, I'd vote for you...(I won't say what else I would vote for. It'd get me banned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 89 Maui Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Amen to that date.I will never forget getting my drivers license on March 23 and driving my dad's '54 Super hardtop nailhead, it was freedom at last. My grandfather had a '53 Roadmaster hardtop naihead and it was a beauty.Yes I agree to having March 22 as NAILHEAD DAY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrlforfun Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 OK Buick People: When ever I go to the bank and explain to the teller that March 27th is a very important day for Chevrolet they haven't a clue of what I'm talking about. You'd think that after so many years of going to that bank they would get it. Isn't there a national Riviera day too? Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rob McDonald Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 We 364 lovers will tip a pint on all 364 days of the year that aren't 3/22. Actually, we might tip one on March 22, as well, but only in the hearty company of a '53 to '56 Buick owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, we might tip one on March 22, as well, but only in the hearty company of a '53 to '56 Buick owner.Well Rob, you could make your trip up I-25 where you would pass two brewries and maybe three Buick clubs where I am sure there would be a number willing to tip a couple of Landau Lagers or Nailhead Nut Lagers just for the privilege of seeing a Beemer with a nailhead radiator.Problem is; that route would probably make the trip home a little tedious.http://forums.aaca.org/f115/buicks-beer-298925-2.html#post857590Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim65Riv Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Isn't there a national Riviera day too? Mitch October 4th is National Riviera Day. The 1963 Riviera was introduced on October 4, 1962 - fifty years this October - another reason to party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
