Mark Simmons Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Funny it should be brought up by you guys. I remember standing in the canned meat aisle chuckling to myself when My wife comes up with a few more things for the cart."What are you amused by" she asked and then an "oh the spam shelf "! In 43 plus years of marriage I've learned that some things are better kept between forum members that understand what's good and what ain't. Like bbq'd spam burgers, okra rolled in corn mealand fried to a golden brown, sweet tater fries and a cold as you can keep it beer. Ah, those were the days. Now that we're citified those days are all but gone. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) One more thing, why two bathtubs? With what they are suggestin one tub is always better !!! Yeah em' were the days !!! MarkBuicks, and Bathtubs do go together. Before cars, there was Buick and Sherwood. I got one. It is the oldest Pre War Buick around, and before the days of porcelain coating, which David Dunbar Buick invented. It is portable, and comes with a shower head and a 1909 IHC Pump Engine and Myers pump. For Details call BR-549 and ask for Jr. Samples. Dandy Dave!

MrEarl Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) That is so cool. I recall you showing this some years ago. I love the design of the legs cradling the whole tub. I assume the shower was a later retrofit, right. So does the tub actually have the makers name or a patent # on it. I assume the locals are really lucky, as I am sure they get to see you demonstrating how it works complete with you in your Speedo's. :eek:Both of our tubs are porcelain claw foot. The porcelain is original and a pita to keep clean and the fact we have lots of iron in the water makes for iron staining... and guess who gets to scrub them. Farmers use to use them for watering livestock until they become highly sought after for antiques. Now they sell $200-400 unrestored. And the reporcelainizing costs twice what the old tub costs and doesn't last anytime. I've considered powder coating ours but it won't fit in the oven. More pictures!!! we want to see more pictures of this rare model of Buick. NOT necessarily being demonstrated though.

RICK YOUNG Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 There is a story of a couple (proudly told by a grand daughter).On their 30th Anniversary they went to Hawaii . The grand daughter asked how they could have saved the money while surviving good and bad times, putting kids through school and helping them get started.Well, Gramma told her every time they made love they each put a dollar in a jar. Grampa would come and say darlin I've got a dollar in my pocket and Gramma would reply same.That jar was sacred through good and bad times.The grand daughter continues that the couple returned to Hawaii for their 50th Anniversary.

Sounds like a new landscaping project for Buick Acres. Erosion control? You can line the apron for your driveway to keep people from driving on the grass as they misjudge the turn, turn too sharply, and get on the grass. NOT to forget that trailers might do the same thing! You might also "spread the joy" by selling the remnants to Home Depot or similar . . . letting others enjoy those rocks, too.Later . . .NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
