MrEarl 10,055 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 We all like pictures! Sooooo This thread is for posting pictures of YOUR Post War Buick's. Just pictures and a brief description. It will help us all know who has what and sort of put a car to a person so to speak. Still post more detailed pictures and dialogue in the Me and My Buick forum please! So let's see them! and who knows, maybe your car will end up featured in a calendar some day. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

SpecialEducation 862 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Both built in Kansas in 1956. A poster of this pic hangs in Plant I at Beechcraft. We have since replaced the tires, re-chromed front & back bumpers, and re-covered the seats. I guess it's time for a re-shoot. 9 Link to post Share on other sites

SpecialEducation 862 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 My desktop pictures rotate every few minutes, and this one just came up. I think it kinda epitomizes why Rivieras are so much fun. In my grandpa's '56, there would have been a post where my son's head is. What fun would that have been? 5 Link to post Share on other sites

dons56 105 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 For some reason this thing doesn't like me. I still am not sure how I got here. Now that I am I want to say, this is a great shot. The location is wonderful. Lighting is excellent. Subject is fabulous. I must also say though, when I was a kid, these Buick's scared me after dark. That grill looks like part of one mean face to a small child. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DAVES_BUICKS 136 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Here is some shots of our '64 Riviera, which I finished a restoration on in 1985, and our '85 'T' Type Riviera (Turbo V-6) which we have owned since new. We use both cars regularly on BDE Tours. Both are great road cars for touring long distances from Michigan. Our BDE tours with these Buicks have included South Dakota, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Virginia, West Virginia, Iowa, Ontario Canada, and of course, Michigan. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
