MrEarl 9,470 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) I see a lot of abandoned and junked Buicks posted in the May or May Not Like forum (formerly the "Don't Like" forum) and bless their hearts they couldn't help that they ended up where they did so certainly no reason for them not to be "liked" anymore. So in their honor I respectfully submit this thread and offer a few examples of these once loved but now abandoned Buicks. These are from a photo file I maintain called "Abandoned Buicks Eclectic" Edited July 30, 2020 by MrEarl Edit title to something more fitting (see edit history) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

60FlatTop 6,219 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) That's Fred's house. I read about him. He learned enough about house wiring from online forums that he rewired his own house.... and saved enough money to buy a Buick, an Electra!

DLynskey 276 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Mr. Earl, Thanks for starting this thread. I've been photographing these neglected gems for many years. Here are some Buicks I spotted along with 200-300 other cars in Eastern Iowa about 25 years ago. I'm sure they're gone forever by now. I hope some of the parts live on in some of the Buicks on this forum. Look at that straight grille on the first one. Wouldn't that be a prize now? Don 4 Link to post Share on other sites

jframe 218 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 1 hour ago, RivNut said: Used to see one in about this condition in Saltillo, Ms. when my girlfriend lived near Tupelo. It was almost sunk in the ground. Looked for it every time I came through, and one day, it was gone. I have noticed that it seems all the hoods rust like this one. I think it's because water stores in that part of the hood when you wash them. Every time I wash mine, I open the hood first thing before drying, and a TON of water runs out both sides. Hopefully, it'll help save it. Link to post Share on other sites
