Pete Phillips 2,014 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I drove my '59 Electra from Leonard, Texas to Oklahoma City and back today for a Mid-Century Modern Design antiques show, building tour, and car show. It was wonderful, but as I was leaving, I stumbled upon the 1920s, restored, former Buick dealership on the Broadway St. Auto Row Historic District in OKC, and grabbed this photo.

Rob@RMcCanon.com 7 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Ok, here is a pre-Rob restoration picture. Taken about 3 years ago. Lots of work to do for the re-restoration. Mostly original but needs alot of polish and mechanical stuff. Taken at Dad's 90th birthday celebration in Winfield Kansas. Car now lives in North Texas. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

smithbrother 605 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 That building in post 41 looks just like Dad's dealership in Bloomington, Il. The deallship moved from it in the very early 50's, but the building still stands and looks nearly the same as back then. I did a double take when I saw post 41.

MrEarl 9,367 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 I believe if I were to stand on top of that ol' '56 I could reach and grab that early Goodrich Tires sign. God I love that 56. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

God I love that 56. Well I've wanted a three slot pay phone for the longest time. You know, something in the same era as the car. That Bell System sign would look nice at my place. I did pick up a pay phone. Funny thing is, it is as far from what I wanted as you could get. It is so modern it has a card reader on it. The price was right. Perhaps one day... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

smithbrother 605 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 That FITTY FO Lark, post #61 is exact color of the one I tore the passenger door off of, at two weeks old. Never have found the car, I would guess if someone pulled the right door card off, they would see something that said, DOOR REPLACED. hehe. Love the 49 HT, that's my all time choice. Front lower lights IMO take away from the lines of the grill, but who am I. Dale in Indy Link to post Share on other sites
