Raise your hand if you drove at least one old Buick this weekend

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!

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

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.

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

We took the Aqua Zephyr to the Goodguys car show this past weekend at the NC State Fairgrounds in Raleigh, NC.

 

The photo below of the AZ is on the Goodguys website "First Friday Look" page for the show on April 19th.

Looks like the AZ is ready to roll for 2024!  ;)

Almost. I have a backfire issue on acceleration to get fixed but my mechanic believes he know what is causing it. Just waiting for a space to open up in his shop to get the carb cleaned.
