jscheib 289 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Drove one, but just a few miles. Too much prep work yet to do on the others. But I did look at the others and did a bit of detail cleaning and odds and ends. Sure was nice not to be holding cold tools. But also had to do some yard work.

Dave_B 88 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 My daughter came down from NYC this weekend for a visit and asked for a ride in the '28. I took her and her friends out for a 20 minute ride. I just love it.Dave Link to post Share on other sites
Guest my3buicks Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I wish, the 67 & 72 are still in storage and my son's snow plow off his truck is behind the Reatta in the garage. I made it CLEAR it needs moved SOON Link to post Share on other sites
Glassesguy 88 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I got the 39 and the 65 out of storage on Saturday. They were stored about 15 miles away from home. I drove the 39; my wife drove the 65. I noticed she "cleared out some carbon" on the way home. Link to post Share on other sites

Bill Stoneberg 1,030 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Took the Estate Wagon out for 20 or so miles. It was hot and humid down here but the car ran fine. Link to post Share on other sites

dship 449 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Got the Riviera and the Reatta out of their storage igloos to get their yearly MA inspection stickers last week. Took the Reatta to our "first of the season" cruise-in on Friday...about 40 miles round trip. I know, I know, they're not old but they are BUICKS! Link to post Share on other sites

60FlatTop 5,810 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Saturday I took the '60 over to Sam's in Holley for lunch. Then we went the long way around through Clarendon and saw the waterfall over the Clarendon fault, headed south and skirted a corner of the muckland. That brought us into town from the south so we stopped at Tractor Supply and got a new leaf rake and home, about 40 miles.Yesterday we took a break from raking and took it up to Tim Horton's for coffee and a quick snack, 4 miles.In half an hour I have a meeting. I go 5 miles out of my way so I can drive about 10 miles along the Lake Ontario Parkway. Maybe I'll take the '60.Bernie Link to post Share on other sites
Barney Eaton 1,326 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Last weekend had the '91 Reatta at the Texas Bluebonnet meet in Bastrop, Willie and Bill were there (That's Willie Pittman "old tank" and Bill Stoneberg) a new fellow showed up in a 64 yellow Riviera that had under 14K miles, he has owned it for 32 years.This Saturday our local club met at a park and we drove the '39 Century.Next weekend is a swap meet/show about 40 miles south..... the GMC pick up will be my ride....might find something I need to haul home.

The Old Guy 36 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 My wife and I took the 40 convertible to our BuickTown chapter meeting in Davison Saturday. We went up the expressway and home by back roads. Total about 20 miles 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Doug Burton 13 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Went out to my daughter's place yesterday in my '61, about 30 miles round trip. Felt good! Took the back roads, the old Buick was as smooth as silk over that bumpy pavement. It's so odd after driving modern cars when the Buick doesn't shift, it just goes. Only noticed one spot on the garage floor in the rear, maybe the pinion seal is weeping a bit. Just a few drops, not much. Link to post Share on other sites
jvelde 255 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Had our '39 Buick Special Business Coupe out on Saturday for a large charity car show with over 350 cars attending. It was about 20 miles one way, so had a good drive both ways. Link to post Share on other sites
BUICK RACER 885 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 started 2 of them, but no driving, big storm and mud and the other is racecar, and doesn't like the street too much. Link to post Share on other sites
wmsue 71 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Just put a new gear box in and repainted the PS pump and brackets on the 65 Electra on Saturday. I got to play 'service manager' and take it for a 10 or 20 mile drive when I was done. It was nice to have 75 degree weather and have the top down again. It's going to get to the low 30's tonight with a few inches of the white stuff expected on the ground. It won't last too long. I'll have to stick to driving the other conv. (Mini) tomorrow.
