He was quite knowledgeable about the Nailhead and was aware they were used in traditional hot rods in the US and that’s what he wanted. His words “he didn’t want another 350 Chev with a 9” diff”. Enjoys showing it very much so as it always creates interest! Rodney 😊😊😊😊😊😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is a Buick forum but is that a 65 or 66 Dodge Convertible way in the background? Would like to see a bit more of that vehicle if you have any pictures.

Yes, I think it was the only 4 door there. I’ve gotten to where I don’t notice too much. Love them all. I think you might be referring to the red 67 Dodge Coronet? That belongs to the host, his red 68 Charger as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside the main garage can accommodate 9 cars and has a lift setup. He’s also got that barn with a car in it and his two car attached on the house. Inside he’s got some various automobilia and a Gulf station facade and Bob’s from CA wall mural. I do agree about Mr. Earl’s set up. Much more interest and character. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul White Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Hi all, With the cancelling of many events over the past 6 months of so, I am back with something to report and a few photos of a recent pre-WWII (pre-1939) event in the southern suburbs of Sydney. the event was well attended with a good range of cars, many T and A model Fords of course along with Dodges, Packards, Studebakers, Rolls Royce and of course a few Buicks a 28 Master Coupe, 29, Master Roadster, my 1936 Special and a 1940 Super (that managed to sneak in), it was a beautiful sunny Autumn day (28C/82F) and a great break from all the flooding rains we have had here in New South Wales over the past month or so. I had a 150 mile round trip to attend from my home on the Central Coast, which is located north of Sydney, filling up with petrol before leaving for the equivalent of $5.55 US per gallon for 91 octane. On the return trip I topped up at a whopping $6.44 US per gallon, not sure I can explain why it is more expensive in the country than near the oil distribution terminal in Botany Bay but there you have it. It wasn't an economical trip as you would imagine! Please enjoy the photos.

JohnD1956 Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 Got the Queen out for a short Spring dust off. This was like an initial test drive on the refurbished front suspension. And I was very happy with it in every aspect. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD1956 Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 Wrapped up the Spring dustoff. The 56 started right up and drove beautifully. Stopped at a good friend's home to visit for a bit. And was surprised to see that I've put 100 miles on it since the last fillup which was the end of December. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bit chilly, but otherwise it was sunny and beautiful day overall. No photos because there was nothing to show besides a parking lot and a bunch of socially and hygienically challenged people 🤪.

Larry Schramm Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) Joyce and I took the 1913 on a tour last week in south Georgia with our #1 grandson. We put on almost 250 miles for the short week. (we had hard thunderstorms on Thursday) Great way to start the new summer out. It was called The Cabin Fever Tour. We got a little bit fast going down a hill. Usually we run at about 30-35 mph which is a "sweet spot" for touring.

Larry Schramm Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) On the way to our tour, we were able to stop and see Mr Earl & Miss Rita at the Buick Gardens. Great people and Lamar is doing fantastic work on his Buick garage and the Buick Gardens. "Filling up the car" Gas tank is under the left passenger seat.

Pete Phillips Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I drove my 1950 Roadmaster to work today. After 10 years of sitting by the previous owner, I finally have the Dynaflow acting properly, starting out in Drive as it should, and almost no fluid leaks anymore--what progress! In January, when I bought the car back from the guy who let it sit, I was sure I was facing a costly Dynaflow rebuild, but B-12 ChemTool and weekly drives have softened up the seals and the car drives properly now--hooray! Just turned 75,000 miles. I've even got all of the hydraulic power windows working properly once again.

dship Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Took the Reatta out of its storage igloo Monday (April 4, 2022) for its yearly MA auto safety inspection (no emissions test needed; car is too old). No pictures as I think you folks looking at a Reatta in an igloo would be quite boring. I ended up returning it to its igloo and recovering it today due to rain expected Wednesday thru Friday....I know the car gets spoiled by me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted April 6, 2022 Author Share Posted April 6, 2022 nite moves yesterday On my daily drivers I try to fill up when I think it will cost around $20.00. This obscures the actual cost of using those cars. 😜 But I had to fill this one and it was a bit depressing to see the almost $59.00 rack up on the pump. 😵 It did not help any that I fill it slowly, to try and avoid the gas burping out of the filler neck while fueling, and I had to just keep watching those dials spin around and around.😲..wondering if it would ever stop. But as soon as I paid, and restarted it, all those bad feelings dispersed. This car is a miracle worker for me! 😄 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
