Centurion 427 Posted December 16, 2015 Since it's not possible for me to add all the Buicks I would love to my collection, I've enjoyed focusing on the garage itself. Over the years, I've acquired several Buick signs, mostly reproductions, and have added Buick-related art prints and model cars. The garage is ever-evolving, but these images pretty well capture the present state. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jscheib 289 Posted December 16, 2015 Brian, This leaves me just breathless. What a wonderful collection. I have to get busy with some model kits this winter, but never will match that. John. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terry Wiegand 1,542 Posted December 17, 2015 Brian, I can tell you a lot of stories behind some of your Buick signs. We had a lot of fun with them in Flint in 2003. Terry WiegandSouth Hutchinson, Kansas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrEarl 8,374 Posted December 30, 2015 I have been purposely putting off even looking at this thread until I had time to peruse and give it the attention it deserves. I give up. Like Bill, I think I could spend days looking over this collection and asking questions and hearing the history and about where every thing came from. I see SO MANY rare and one of pieces in here!!! Even the reproductions are nice and were selected with great taste. I can appreciate too the $$ and time spent acquiring this superb collection. And you know what, I know Brian, he is a just a mainstream working family man and I can assure you he does not have the means to simply buy every piece he would like to on eBay and elsewhere like many well to do collectors, this makes me appreciate this collection even more. Each and every piece is so artfully displayed, I know that has to take time but must be a lot of fun.Thank you so much for taking the time to take and post all the pictures Brian. Please keep us up to date of any new pieces you may acquire or possible re positioning of the collections etc. Rita too was in awe of all this and only had one question to ask. "How long does it take him to dust all that". To that I replied "He doesn't, his good wife does" which was met with "Well don't get any such ideas in YOUR head!" Again, thanks for sharing Brian. Now back to the top of the page for a slow scroll back down. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScarredKnightfan 135 Posted December 31, 2015 Holy cow ... what an amazingly stunningly awesome collection! Would LOVE to see it in person & really take time to look at it. I'm guessing these pics don't do your museum justice.

TG57Roadmaster 321 Posted January 7, 2016 Didn't see this till now. Of course your garage is stupendous(!), but tell me about the Sputnik lamp. Or is it a radio? Great job, TG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Centurion 427 Posted January 7, 2016 Didn't see this till now. Of course your garage is stupendous(!), but tell me about the Sputnik lamp. Or is it a radio? Great job, TG Tom, good catch! There's a fellow here in the Tacoma area who produces all manner of one-off lamps, utilizing various automotive or household items. Among my favorites are his many lamps patterned after Seattle's Space Needle. He has also produced a variety of flying saucer lamps, but, when I saw this Sputnik lamp, I knew that it needed to find a home in my garage! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrEarl 8,374 Posted January 21, 2016 Just coming back to gawk at this awesome collection. I am still seeing things that I did not see in my previous visits. For instance check out the crests reflected in the mirror in this shot. How about a full head on shot of that Brian. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
