Buicknutty 2,149 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I had the '41 Roadmaster out late this afternoon and took this quick shot of it in the trees. Not out for a real drive, but there was some wood I wanted which the car was blocking in. So I just drove around our circle drive a bit to get it warmed up a.

MrEarl 9,686 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I had a beautifully restored Arctic White over Matador Red ‘54 Century once that had too much “orange “ in it. Sold it. Wasn’t sure if this belongs here or in Find that Buick but since I’m here ... that is a 64 B on the right right? and looks like somebody left the window down 😬 1 Link to post Share on other sites
JohnD1956 6,195 Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 I believe the car with the open window is a 64 Oldsmobile Cutlass, but the car right in front is very interesting. I believe only GM used that "C" roof panel design with the recessed window on it's "A bodied 66/67 line. But the rear 1/4 glass roof line suggests a large body car with the roof line?

If I still had my '68 Dodge Charger, I'd be taking it to Mecum's and retire happily. Ain't it a kick in the butt to not have the foresight to hang onto some of those cars that we had in the past. I can think of a few: besides the Charger, there was the 64 Wildcat 2dr hardtop (buckets and console shift) 70 Chevelle, the '69 BMW 2002 tii, the '57 Austin Healey 100-6, and a couple of '55 Chevy 2 dr. sedans to name a few.
