neil morse 856 Posted September 20, 2018 That's a very sad one, for sure, since the car appears to have been in beautiful shape. What do suppose caused the damage? It looks like it somehow skidded into a lamppost sideways! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Back up at 20 miles an hour, lose track of your surroundings even though your passenger is holding your beer, turn the wheel hard left and the front end zips around. Not only did he hit the pole, but his passenger dropped the beer and soaked the carpet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RivNut 3,060 Posted September 22, 2018 That would be the 1954 Buick Wildcat. Are you sure this thread is where you want to post this? I think is a good looking car. The car in the foreground is the Olds F-88. In the background are the GM Futureliners. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dei 3,351 Posted September 22, 2018 I took it as not liking the fact the Olds is hiding the Buick so maybe??.... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it would fit in the thread " I just love this picture of this Buick " as you can hardly see it. So yes I think it belongs here. Cal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
