MrEarl Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Took a lot of these pictures over a year ago but just finding a rainy day to post them. This room use to be my son Jordan's room before and while he was in college. Then it became a "spare bedroom" but began collecting a lot of "pitch it in the door" junk. I finally decided to take it over for my office. After cleaning it of all the junk and repairing some of the mysterious holes in the sheet rock that had been hidden for years with Johnny Cash and Marine Corp posters (at least he had good taste in posters), Rita and Terry commenced to painting the walls in 1954 Buick colors of Tunis Blue and Malibu Blue. Note also the cabinets and tables are "Buick Engine Green" which I think goes great with the '54 Buick blue colors. Thanks for looking and hope you enjoy. "1954 BUICK HEADQUARTERS" That's sort of panoramic look. I can post some close ups and detail shots if any interest. 15 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithbrother Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 FITTY FO,,,,,, I noted KEYS hanging in post number 19. They reminded me of my father selling a new Buick in the early fifties. The deal was made, the buyer traded a 37 Buick in, when he walked out to leave in his new Buick Dad realized that he hadn't given him the car keys. Dad darted out only to reach the car when it had just be started, his 37 key worked just fine. Often wondered how often that occurred.
