Den41Buick Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) The Minuteman Chapter of the BCA met up with a mixture of other car clubs for the "Chicken Run" at Wrights Farm in Burrillville, RI. We took the 1941 Special, model 41. Great food and company, not to mention some nice cars too! Great day!

195354 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Stopped raining for a few hours today the sun was even out. Ran a few errands in the Buick while in town went to the post office a couple of ladies in the parking lot asked if this was a Cadillac. l had to explain it’s a Buick. They were amazed it is 70 years old and it was still running and driving. Headed home at dusk the 53 at road speed all gauges reporting normal. l need to install a dyna light so I can see the shifter in the dark Steve 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I was on my game With the Women at the post office when they asked if it was a Cadillac. I should have said B is before C so Buick will always trump a Caddy.

195354 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Drove the mighty Buick this weekend easier to get around than my Ram pickup with a long box. Xmas shopping at JC Penny then to a Grocery story then a hardware store. I would get something done on my other projects if I stopped running around. I should have noted the miles before I started driving the Buick this summer. Not a lot of miles but more than I thought I would accumulate. If my math is correct about 2K since July this year.

Centurion Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I headed downtown on Saturday to finalize some Christmas shopping for my wife. The weather was dry, and I had not driven the '59 Electra for a couple of months, so my errands provided a great excuse to exercise the Buick. The '59 Buick is a remarkably smooth and silky runner, and I marveled again at the seamless performance of the Triple Turbine (Flight Pitch) transmission. KIXI AM 880 from Seattle crackled to life on the Buick's Sonomatic radio, providing the perfect soundtrack of vintage Christmas tunes. Check out the old Andy Williams Christmas albums if you're looking for some great recordings with a bit of nostalgia. I've often remarked to my wife that driving the '59 Buick is invariably therapeutic. I'll be retiring at the end of the month, and the entire transition process at the office has been more than a little stressful. The Buick has a great way of helping me escape the worries for a period of time, transporting me to a different, simpler time. I parked downtown, and grabbed a sandwich and beverage, enjoying the comments and questions about the Buick. All of us have observed how our old cars break down barriers, inviting conversations with complete strangers. An older gentleman rode up on his electric bicycle, and he shared that a high school friend's father owned a Buick like mine. Whenever it was his friend's turn to drive, he enjoyed the smooth, reassuring ride of the Buick. As he walked completely around the car, I loved seeing him place his hand on every panel of the car, and thought that he might have been reminiscing about those long-vanished adventures with his high school buddies. I didn't shoot any photos, but this image was shot by a stranger during another outing downtown during October. Like others of you, I often field the question: "Is it a Cadillac?" My response usually goes something like this: "No, this is the higher quality car from General Motors." 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibarlaw Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I was hoping to get the 1925 Master(Remley)on the road before snowfall here in South PA. We had a dusting overnight. Wow! He has been sitting nearly 5 years on the jack stands. But, yesterday I was able to get 3, 15 minute engine runs while dialing things in. Hopefully off the jack stands soon. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
