MrEarl Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 It all started with an email from an old friend and Dixie Chapter member Bruce Kile advising that he and a friend were going to look at some old Buick's in a warehouse and because there was a 54 involved thought I might be interested in joining them. I of course said sure and made plans to meet up with them at the warehouse in Toccoa Georgia. Toccoa is a small town in NE Georgia located about 50 miles from me and I have always known it to have lots of old Buick's in it. We met at the warehouse and was met by a super nice gentleman named Ray who told us the story behind all the Buicks we were about to see. The Buick's had belonged to the owner of Tugalo Gas Company who had passed away about 25 years ago. We met his son Tom, who is the current owner and learned that Ray was the Vice President of the company. We spent probably about 3 hours looking over the cars and I of course spent half of that looking at the '54 which was a solid 4 door Century with near perfect glass, original seat upholstery under old seat covers and had had a respray. The rest of the cars consisted of: 1938 Special Model 44, 2 door Streamline Sport Sedan 1940 Super Model 51 Four-Door Touring Sedan 1953 Special 4 door 1953 Super 4 door 1962 Electra 225 4 door 4 window 1963 Special 4 door 1963 LeSaber 4 door After looking over the cars we had a late lunch at M&J's Home Cooking Restaurant, a buffet style restaurant there in town. We discussed the cars and the fact that the owner was looking for offers and as the cars had been collected by his father, he wanted to ensure they went to good homes. Bruce and his friend were quite amazed at what we had seen but had no real interest in purchasing anything . I on the other hand, upon arriving home talked it over with Rita and we decided I should at least make an offer on the little 54 Century. The next day I called Ray and he informed me he had had calls from two individuals very interested in the cars and especially the '38. I made him an offer on the '54 and he said he guessed he could do it, but would I possibly be interested in the whole lot and quoted a figure that I had to ask him to repeat to ensure I had heard correctly. Considering the very fair figure that he had thrown at me and the fact I knew he had others interested in the cars, I quickly answered that I would take them. All the time realizing this was a bit more than Rita and I had discussed and immediately began wondering how the hell was I going to break this news to her. The following Monday I began hauling the Buicks home to Buick Gardens. But not before calling and suggesting to Ken Green here on the forum that he bring his trailer and if he liked the 40 Super he could take it home with him and if not he could deliver it to my house. We had lunch at M&J's Buffet, talked over the deal and as already learned from his new thread, he took it home with him. Luckily I am still married and over the last week have made a number of trips through the beautiful winding roads of the Northeast Georgia countryside hauling these wonderful old Buicks home. Ken graciously agreed to help haul the two big girls, the LeSabre and the Electra 225. It appears I have not only gained seven more Buicks this week but also some new friends. Ray and Tom were two of the nicest people you would ever hope to meet and plan to keep in touch in letting them know where the Buicks find homes. Ken is in Atlanta and I am sure we will be getting together to turn some wrenches or pound on some metal. Life in Buickland is good. From the first day we visited. Lets start with the oldest first.... the 38 and 40. The 38 was restored back in the early 80's and driven, gorgeous interior. The 40 was being worked on when the owner died, leaving the interior to be finished. more, much more to come.......... 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 as I didn't even take pictures of anything else the first day, I'll skip to the 54, of which I took quite a few of. Solid floors, rockers, one cracked vent glass, original interior under old seat covers. A bad respray especially of the roof. Not sure why the throttle through the middle of the dash... early handicapped assist maybe LOL.... or most likely for warm up. No options on a Century, not even power steering or radio.Considering the geographical location, possibly a shine runner? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 I am sure the question of "what are you going to do with them" will come up. Honestly at this point, I do not know. I hope to sell most and after recouping my invested $$ put the rest on the completion of my new garage. But got to say, a couple of them are really starting to grow on me. That '38 makes my heart skip a beat every time I look at that long nose and grill, not to mention the interior. I have lots of work ahead of me in just getting them running and semi cleaned up. I will continue to post through that process and then once decided what to sell, start posting on Buy/Sell. Would consider offers at any point though, save me some work maybe. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 First day of loading and second day of chowing down at M&J's Country Cooking. Good soul food, pretty waitresses and old Buicks on the trailer in the parking lot. Can life get much better? and Ken, proud new owner of the '40 Super 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Heck yeah! And now you are a BUICK guy with the STRAIGHT EIGHT. I never cared much for the sloper, but it IS a '38. Last year of floor shift. First year of back coil springs. Good score. And MORE history with the '53s. The omega and the alpha.

MCHinson Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Lamar, I guess I need to convince you to join the 36-38 Buick Club now. http://www.3638buickclub.org/membership.html Buick called the 38-44 a Special 2-Door Streamline-Sport Sedan. They are often referred to as a "Slant Back" these days in the US, and "Sloper" Down Under. With a little bit of attention, you could clean that one up, go through the fuel system, and bring it to the 36-38 Buick Club Tour in Wilmington April 9-12. Also, since the club is open to all Straight 8 era Buicks, send me some information on any of those that you want to sell and I can advertise them on the club website and in the newsletter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avgwarhawk Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Thinking about you still being married after an acquisition such as this perhaps Rita is thinking the same as my wife and the purchase of the 60 a week ago. She said, "You have not bankrupt us in 22 years of marriage. Buy away!" Looking at the lot of cars the 38 is to die for. Beautiful lines. And like me who loves the 54's has found love in my heart for a 60. It appears you have room in yours for a 38. Keep it. You will be glad you did. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian_Heil Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Home of Camp Toccoa and the 101st Airborne back in WWII. If you liked Band of Brothers, this is the actual Camp site where they started out. Nice 101st museum in Toccoa and they can direct you out to the former site of the camp. Not much there, a nice monument and you can see one former barracks being used as a maintenance building for the current modern business on the Camp site. You can dive up the actual 'hill' (mountain) they ran up and down. Amazing view at the top and equally amazing how tough these men were to run up and down it. Suggest a 4WD truck with high ground clearance, the road was washed out in several places with good sized ruts when I drove up it and first gear the whole way. Not paved, large re-used fist size broken concrete material surface. Lots of cell phone towers now at the top. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you know the '38 gets a place of honor in the new clubhouse, and the '40 becomes your daily driver. That makes it possible for you to give "Buttercup" to the long lost Terry.

It was dark blue and went to Traverse, MI. I loved the car but being just a few years out of college, a new wife and daughter, it was not in the cards!
