retirednow Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) My old, rusty, and tired Buick prefers to marvel at the winter wonderland from the comfort of her nice, dry garage. She has endured entirely too many winters out in a cold, snowy field Edited December 18, 2013 by retirednow (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 You will get away with that up here in the North for about one light snow. After that, frost will settle in the ground and the road suface will turn to ice. You will need chains on the rear wheels to move. Or a convertion to 4WD and chains to boot if it is a really heavy snow. All I can say is your Buick must just float threw it as there isn't even any snow on the rear tires. Why, I believe it runs on Christmas Magic as though the windows it is a Green landscape in the back ground. Nice Try. But it just cannot compare to "The Buick SnowMaster." Dandy Dave!

Pete Phillips Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Last week's ice storm in Leonard, Texas, but nary a Buick in sight!They were all sitting inside... (the '54 46-R belongs to BCA member Ray Doonkeen--I've been making it pretty, though).Can't hold a candle to the snows you New York guys get, though.Pete Phillips, BCA #7338 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Blizzard?Those look like upstairs bedroom shots. Makes me remember a time when we were empty nesters and I could go upstairs and sit by the window.Has anyone ever hear of shaken adult child syndrome? I was in the bank yesterday clearing up an issue and I asked the bank officer if she had ever hear of shaken banker syndrome; just reminded by thoughts of the view I don't get anymore.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD1956 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 so "that's" snow?!!! Oh........LOL...This is a mere drop in the bucket compared to some places... like Michigan for instance... ( Sorry Robert...just kidding I think) The good news is it kills or diminishes some insects. The better news is it deters things like poisonous snakes, scorpions, and alligators,although spiders seems to thrive no matter what. And the best news is if often ends in this area by March. And overall, since I can't drive half of my cars, I can justify using that half a lot more when I can drive em.ps: I love that picture DJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Phillips Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Okay, "Buckfarmer", it's not fair to post a photo like that unless you tell us what year and model # that wonderful roadster is! I'm going to guess a big series 1930. What a wonderful car. Ditto, for Larry DiBarry's '25. I love it.I know about Leif's 1956 76-C, so I don't have to ask about it. Thanks to all for posting some wonderful photos.Pete Phillips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Yeah, I love those vintage photos too. Can we pin down the models/years in the Bailey Buick photo. Must be 1950 or earlier. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Regarding the Bailey photo my thoughts are:Center car: 49 SuperTo the left of the center car, 50 Super and then another 49 Super, and one more 49To the right, a 47 and then a 48. I think the last one on the right is a Subaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest buckfarmer Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Wanted to post this picture back at Christmas but couldn't find it. We took the 1930 model 57 out for a drive Christmas 2012 and 2013 (notice the tire chains). I didn't have time to get the ol'girl running this year for Christmas.

Guest shadetree77 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Glad to see this thread back up. Well....sorta. Depends on how you look at it. Summer can't come soon enough! Figured I'd post a few net finds here. Seems an appropriate day seeing as there's been almost a foot of snow dumped on the ground today and more to come overnight. My Buick is safely tucked away in the dry garage covered in blankets. :cool: Edited February 2, 2015 by shadetree77 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Schramm Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Just cleared out the driveway today from about 14 inches of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shadetree77 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Dave, You might be right. It was labeled as a Buick when I found it so I just went with it. I'm definitely not a pre-war expert by any means. If you're reasonably sure it's not a Buick let me know and I'll take it down.Larry, We cleared ours today too. Wooo!!! Quite an undertaking. Let's just say you were 100% right about the "adequacy" of my electric snow blower!! Lol. It did OK. Better than shoveling the whole thing but I think I'll stick it on Craigslist in the Fall and start looking for something with a little more power. Probably nothing close to what you've got but something a little more suited to Michigan winters. That electric would be OK for somewhere like Kentucky or southern Indiana, NOT here!
