BRB62 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Photos from a couple of years ago at Kalbarri, Western Australia. Watching the sun set at the beach. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I know it is not a Buick, but the beach and the water made me post it. The picture was taken at Chimney Bluffs at the east end of Lake Ontario. It is not a bad picture, taken by my Wife about five years before we were married and she hadn't had the traumatic experiences that make her picture taking so erratic today. And this day didn't help any! That beach is bordered by a rise of dirt and grass about 3 feet high. Gettin onto the beach is pretty straight forward. You just find a slight dip and angle your approach, simple, and then you get some smooth sandy beach driving in. Well, until you want to get off the beach. I is kind of hard to get the traction to climb that rise. Of course, a creative guy like me knows you can trade off traction for inertia. (My Wife just walked in and said "Oh, God, I remember that.") It took about three tries, each a little faster than the last, to finally accelerate parallel to the rise watching for a dip and doing the leap. We haven't been back to that beach. Funny how quickly she recognized that picture just now. Bernie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great shot Doug! And great that you thought to use that "backdrop" . I so regret not taking one of 'my' 54's to the GMAP in Doraville before it was demolished.

BRB62 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 No real magic regarding the plates. Our Australian plates are too wide to fit in the rear bumper recess. We have personalized plates at 3/4 size that fit reasonably well. Come in pressed steel with up to 5 characters or poly-carbonate with up to 7. I could not bring myself to putting plastic plates on a steel/chrome/leather car so I had to come up with a smaller message. Main thing for me was that it had to include 62 or 1962. Rules are it cannot have all numbers or match existing plate styles e.g. no B or BK prefix (regional plate types). Limits you a bit. After finally nearing completion of the restoration (20 years off and on), I had a short list of what I wanted. My wife ultimately chose BRB62. What does it mean? Our initials together are BRB (Bev & Rick Beazley) and hey, maybe Big Red Buick? Keeps people guessing anyway. 21 hours ago, MrEarl said: Awesome capture BRB62 !!

60FlatTop Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 No moon over Miami here, heck, we have to pump the sunshine in half the year. Three Buicks there, one suffering from a mild case of flat surface syndrome. Bernie 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elpad, the split windshield marks it as a Special. Could be any body style. Super and Roadmaster had first year, for Buick, one piece windshield. And Smitty is talking about "no visor". Silly boy!
