not seeing a custom in 2589 ??





Really MrEarl.



Custom paint, bumpers painted.



Lowered, custom wheels.



Exhaust out thru the bumper.



Shaved door, trunk handles, emblems.



No chrome.



That is with out looking at interior or engine bay.



If that showed up at a Buick National it would be in the modified class.

I found a couple mor pics of the '50.

Looks like it wouldn't even make it in the modified class as it is powered by a Chev.

Just to prove I've got a little bit of sense left, here is what I see as post 2589. Apparently the post count for a moderator is different as they continue to see all posts, even deleted ones. So you can see why it was of the utmost importance to state I was not seeing a custom, eh?

and yea brother John, I rather like that custom too, until it was revealed it has a Chevy engine that is....

I would only be guessing if I said San Fran, but looking at the street car tracks and hills that would also be my guess.

No info with the picture.

Thanks for the apprectiation Pilgrim65.

I would say it is San Francisco. From Google Maps I would say that is the same building on the corner of Powell and Pine Streets...

 

I am amused the Dicks Liquors and Fine Foods in the first photo is now identified as E & E Fine Foods. How many businesses have survived that long, although apparently under new ownership after that many years.

Cheers first born , bit of a novice at identifying the different models , thought she looked like mine and could see the three roundals on side like mine , was it only the roadmaster that had four

They varied a bit through the years. Special alway had three ventiports and Roadmaster always had four. 

 

In 1953, Buicks had the teardrop shaped headlight door. In 1952 they had Chrome fins on top of the rear fenders.

Ed, thanks for the link to the '62 Invicta.

Interesting read.

I know it isn't for everyone but we have to remember that we are all getting older.

If we are able to keep the younger generation interested they will build  cars that they like.

Unfortunately most of the younger crowd don't want to drive Grandpa's Buick.

Hi Guys 

absolutely agree , about youngsters 

bought myself  a 53 Buick special and brought it to Cyprus , loved it so much wanted another in UK ,but have no storage or garage , so thought if buy a nice 50s classic , I would give it to one of my son in laws on the basis I would use it when in U.K. which is only a few months a year . Sent them both potential purchases , good restored cars not cheap, both turned me down, not into classics 

so I be leaving my classic to my stepdaughter who loves old cars.

cheers
