We have visited the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island several times, and once reenacted the scene from the movie "Somewhere in Time" which was filmed there with Bud Jonas' 1910 Oakland. Our 1912 Oakland was at the dock in Mackinac City. Motor vehicles are not permitted on Michigan's Mackinac Island, a great place to visit. Thanks, Elpad, for a great memory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the '55 is a striking and exceptional design,'the '56, at least in my opinion, is simplified, smoothed, more refined, elegant, and just plain cleaner in form. (This also applies to "Little Brother" Chevrolet.) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, judging by how bald the spare looks, that guy is very likely going to have to go through the whole thing again pretty soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we drive our old cars cross-country, knowing that a reasonable supply of parts, tools, and other assorted "junque" is along with us is reassuring.

KongaMan Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I see lots of stains on the asphalt. Next time you complain about your old car marking its territory, remember that it's running like it was new. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annotation: BUICK - 1949? ARGYLE & KENMORE; CHICAGO, IL. William J. Maddon, Flushing, N.Y. Here is a present day view of this same intersection and buildings 1956 Buick Century Riviera. Slide undated but front license plate appears to be '62' dated A very rusty 1958 Buick Century convertible with a pretty young lady in an orchard (maybe). Slide dated MAY66.
