Shawn Miller Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Ha HA very funny dont think we are in the right era there, and even in the right era, cars that have been changed into utility vehicles don't qualify. beleive it or not there were packards and such that were rebodied into tow trucks and pick ups at the dealer, for use around the lot and such, when they hadn't sold.

Guest Reatta1 Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Shawn,Actualy this started out as a 2 dr hrdtp, became what you see (result of collision) and is now a convertible.Jimps. feel free to move it to the BCA if you want. I know it is way off topic here. Just couldn't resist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyDale Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Where is Pete Hartmann when you need him?This guy needs a lesson in the CLASSICS or is it, he needs to be taught a CLASSIC lesson.diz <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Guy Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 If you will go to :www.classiccarclub.org/carlist.htm , you will see what is acceptable to the CCCA. They accept NO vehicle newer that 1948 and are VERY FUSSY even then. The word Classic is one of the most missused words in the old car dictionary. You always hear about the "classic" 57 Chevs and the like. This is all wishful thinking. The only Buicks recognized by the CCCA are the 90 series from 1931 to 1942 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 That was a lesson...Reatta1, how do you feel after that? <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />Your story about the hardtop/truck/convertible is very interesting. It may not be a classic, but it's definitely something to remember <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AWBE Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 CLASSIC CASE OF MESSING A CAR UP!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyesac Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 What is it? OBVIOUSLY, it's a rolling collection of parts to restore the front half of a 66 LeSabre! Or, in other words, a"parts car/flat bed wannabe" LOL! Makes me wonder if anybody's ever tried to take a '68 - '72 Skylarkand merge it into a Skylark/El Camino?

68 lesabre4dr Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 What a shame! When i was a kid my dad told me in the garage, " many men own cars, but only a choice few take care of them" . The older i got the more i believed it! Bruce <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Reatta1 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 Smartin, I am properly chastised. Peter Hartman probably could have done it better and wordier though.Dizzy, Old Guy, the whole post was <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> and no intention to ruffle any 'Classic' owners feathers. For the complete story see the thread in BCA forum about turning a 2dr hrdtp into a convertible. I've had this car a lot of years and am as married to it as I am my wife. It is my 'classic', outside of the strict definition of course <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.

Smartin Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 yessir...I read that post a while back.

Guest my3buicks Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 I'm glad you cleared that up for those that didn't read the original remarks on the car. It is amazing how quick some can be to rush to judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86 2dr.ltd Posted January 12, 2003 Share Posted January 12, 2003 Skylark ElCamino right on the owners cars page.http://www.buickclub.org/MemberGallery/X-Camino_Picture.jpgIf cars prior to 48 are classic thank goodness cars from the 60's arent then. Definantly not in the same league.Classic -Belonging in a certain catagory of excellence ; having a lasting artistical worth.I'd say you've got both .

Guest 70 Electra Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 The 69 225 in the background looks nice enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
