Larry Schramm Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 (edited) No pictures today, but about 140 miles added on the clock. At least it was dry with no rain. Edited April 19 by Larry Schramm (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Only did about 15 miles today as I am still sorting out some issues. But it was a sunny day so Remley the 1925 Master and Chickie our 2020 Envision were in a good spot. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Schramm Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) Well, ended up the week on the tour driving 450 miles for the week. Also that was with ZERO issues. Purred along at about 30-35MPH, except when going down hills and sometimes hit about 40 but that was OK in preparation for going up the side of the next hill.

Yup, always good to get a run at the next hill and open the cut-out for more power! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I had to scroll back to February 10th on this topic to figure out the last time I had my Buick out on a weekend. Really wanted to get the '60 Electra out for coffee this morning but it was 37 degrees out and still pretty wet from the rain. I am really getting tried of the cold and the rain. Maybe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 Put some new tires on the GS and then ran a about 15 miles with it. Between the suspension and tire upgrades, it is a great ride now. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul White Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Hi All, It's been a while since I posted here. Last weekend my wife and I along with a bunch of friends attended a 10 course Titanic re-enactment dinner at an Edwardian period hotel in the Blue Mountains, located 70 miles west of Sydney and 120 miles from our home on the Central Coast. The hotel was purchased by its current owner 18 months ago and is undergoing a fabulous and sensitive restoration. Of course there is a Buick angle with me in my '36, my long-term friend Dave recently buying a '37 Buick and Michael and his '41 Sedanette, all Fisher bodies,. A pleasant weekend was had by all with the Buicks out and about around the area over the weekend. Please enjoy the photos. Cheers Paul 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC1968Riviera Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) We took the Aqua Zephyr to the Goodguys car show this past weekend at the NC State Fairgrounds in Raleigh, NC.

Larry Schramm Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Took the '13 out for a drive today on Mothers day with my bride. It was a beautiful day. The offspring were over earlier for brunch with us. Had to stop and get some gas. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted Saturday at 03:00 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:00 PM (edited) I got the 31-67 out for a short drive around the neighborhood yesterday. She started easily after pumping the pedal several times & drove just fine for a 93-year-old lady.

edinmass Posted Saturday at 07:28 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:28 PM (edited) Well the 34 Buick roadster is now officially a sorted car, we use it as our main transportation on weekends here in Palm Beach. Don’t even carry a screwdriver or a pair of pliers. It’s just simply as reliable as a new car. Took it shopping this afternoon. It’s 96 degrees here today. Engine temperature stays at 145 fast, slow, or in stop and go traffic. Oil pressure maintains 38 lbs on its original 66k engine……where the bypass starts to dump excess pressure. Did two new tie rods and an alignment this week. Runs like the wind. Perfect grocery grabber. At a stop light someone tried to buy it this afternoon. We have about 2k miles on it now…..and many more to come. Edited Saturday at 07:29 PM by edinmass (see edit history) 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexRiv_63 Posted Saturday at 08:08 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:08 PM I have been neglecting my Buick lately, took it out today for breakfast with a couple of PAS friends. It was a beautiful windows - down day and driving was a real pleasure. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackofalltrades70 Posted Saturday at 09:18 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:18 PM Got the 47 out of her winter slumber. Started right up after two fifteen second cranking intervals. Purrs like a kitten! Took her out Friday lunchtime to an event at Allied Services care facility for the patients there. Was a great time. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted Saturday at 09:58 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:58 PM Swapped out my 1925 Buicks and have Beulah the Standard out and about. My daughter helped me put down the incorrect, cut down, adapted top so I could try the 1927 Standard top I picked up recently. It is the newer style with the flat plates instead of the sockets. It does look much more appropriate that what I have on it. Unfortunately it is wider at the front than what my car is to have. But we are back to having some quality miles with Beulah again. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buicknutty Posted Saturday at 09:58 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:58 PM (edited) We had took the Electra out for breakfast then off to a social meet at a member's country place in the Niagara area, which is an hour an half from home. Lovely day here and a very enjoyable drive over well paved but seldom used roads. About 125 miles on the lovely girl, ran great and we used to A/C for the first time and it was still working fine too.

Last time I heard, it was a 2022 or 23 GMC Tahoe that he uses for towing. Don't know where the Hyundai came from you are talking about. Do you have the Hyundai? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted Monday at 01:35 AM Share Posted Monday at 01:35 AM Well we solved the problem of the too wide top.... we removed it and stored it and folded the top that was on the car and now have it tucked into the boot.(dustcover) So with the top down, no one can tell that the front bow is too wide ... at least until October when I put the top up again... 73.5 mile round trip to break bread with some like minded Buick people. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted Monday at 03:51 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:51 PM Sunday I had my annual New York State inspection done for the 22nd time, 91,000 miles now. The car in the background is what "My Mechanic" drives. The shop got very busy since COVID hit and he used to do my daily driver repairs. He hasn't done any work except the inspections since then. Feels good to be independent in my old age. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buicknutty Posted yesterday at 02:01 AM Share Posted yesterday at 02:01 AM It was a very warm and summer like evening here so we took the '41 Roadmaster to a cruise in, and then I gave a ride to an enthusiastic lady who's one of the regulars and just loved my car! That put a few more miles on it than just back and forth so I drove it about 45 miles all together. It was running great, and my passenger was very impressed that such an old car was so comfy and fast. She drives one of the two seat T'Birds, a '57 I think, so she does love old cars and likes to talk cars but confesses she knows little. No pics of her, but here is my car. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
