Elpad 5,187 Posted August 5, 2017 If they didn't take any visible valuables out of the Park it looks to me as a jealousy act. Pity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A handy start to the day, broken glass everywhere. Paving brick was thrown with such force it damaged the trim on the other side of the car. Lucky insurance will cover it but it will be a wait for the replacement glass to ship here in Australia. Perils of owning a unique car. Late model Buicks are few and far between over here. That sucks! So sorry Rick! Such a nice car too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cannot think of a reason for a targeted attack. Nothing stolen, doors where not even opened. We will be anxious for the next short while in case of a repeat. Jealousy is a probability but I am sure that anyone who understands our plight are more likely to look on us with sympathy bordering on pity due to this overwhelming affliction we all seem to suffer from (cars, parts, spares, tools etc.) Best thing about this car is that my wife chose and bought it for herself. Another victim! Can prove contagious. Now she owns her own Buick (she technically also has the "64) I cannot be made to feel guilty for the rest of them. At least that's what I tell myself as I ponder the time and $$$ that my three upcoming projects will hit me with for my next few lifetimes! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have a 1929 standard 25X Holden bodied tourer that I purchased as an unfinished project. Also trying to fit in a 1964 special coupe at the same time. Now THAT causes difficulties! I have also in a fit of madness, bought a major project. A 1929 54CCX convertible coupe. Too rare and desirable to pass up. Need more space....time....money.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ol' yeller 148 Posted August 16, 2017 This was taken in 1969. My Dad's beloved Golden Streak was rear ended. He was at a complete stop, signaling a left turn when a stewardess in a Mustang plowed into the back end at 50 MPH. According to the Police there were no skid marks. It turned out very badly for her. Mom and Dad were pretty sore but walked away from the wreck The wagon did get repaired. A testament to how tough those old Buicks were. notice all the glass was still intact. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
