60FlatTop Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 That last one is the rare Electra Luxus. You didn't want to get close to that center ring when it was running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 It is not a Buick, but that picture reminds me of the car that has ALWAYS defined ugly to me. A guy on the Creek Road over by Brockville had one behind his house when I was 14 or 15. It is engrained in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows? What I do know is, I would not be hiring a lawyer in the 21st century who thinks 20th century events strike a responsive chord/speak to: Generation X (Baby Bust) Xennials Generation Y - The Millennials - Gen Next iGen / Gen Z Gen Alpha or that he is "with it" in terms of either current affairs or current law/legal trends!

I've already named the generation that's in school now. Generation "E". E for enabled. They don't do anything on their own then cry to their parents to enable them to get away with doing nothing. I got out of teaching early for that very reason. My wife is retiring from teaching early for the same reason. What's really sad is that no one wants to become a teacher. Schools are hurting for teachers and colleges aren't getting education majors. I'm off my soap box now. Sorry. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD1956 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I deleted my prior post due to it's inappropriateness. I apologize to any of you that I offended. It was totally my mistake. I feel bad about that post, but worse yet for this fellow and family, and all the others who lost so much in the fires that seem to incessantly consume the West. I can only hope they find some comfort in saving themselves, and that the insurance companies treat them fairly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elpad Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) I think you were posting just a picture of a Buick you don’t like to see in that condition just as thousands of pictures you find on the internet. Problem at times is that one finds out a little bit of history and someone close to the forum and emotions sinks in. I think ? this is good to learn about the particular situation. if you had not posted, we probably would not find out about the misshaped. Me I would not be offended and don’t sincerely think anybody else would. Edited February 25, 2018 by Elpad (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been here but this is an iconic bar in West Miami, Fl about 8 miles from home. Is call 7 Seas Bar and I have seen this 55 parked there as advertisement since I came to Miami around 1973.

Drive by in your 54. Let the owner see what a top notch Buick looks like.Maybe inspire him/her to restore this old girl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H.Boland Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 This Buick was built up from a big 4 door sedan and other left over parts.The owner has a lot of parts stored in Texas, as I recall, but lives here in Ontario. It does stand out at car shows ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
