31 LaSalle Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Not everybody likes whitewalls my own car was fitted with a brand new set of whitewalls when i bought it I dont think they suit the colour scheme of my car but i will have to keep them on for now in your case i think they go well with the dark paint just my opinion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuickTom87 Posted July 30, 2023 Author Share Posted July 30, 2023 Yeah over the winter im going to get new tires for the car , the tires on the car prob 30+ years old . Just little skeptical about taking it on drives . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bloom Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Let me join in with others who already said it, but I love your car. Great lines, understated elegance. Sort things out and take it out often. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The proper size Blackwall will make the car looks much better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexRiv_63 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I would normally vote for blackwalls but a Buick 97 probably came with the whites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Wonderful example! The Buick 90 Series was the choice of prosperous folks who wanted to enjoy a powerful, comfortable, car of understated elegance where it would be considered pretentious and unseemly in one's community to drive a Cadillac, Packard, Lincoln or Pierce-Arrow. Think of the smaller town bankers, factory or mill owners, prominent businessmen who wished to maintain a modest profile. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuickTom87 Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 Thank you , it’s a treat to own. Just the styling of this car is amazing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuickTom87 Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 Took the 32 out to a local cruise night Along with our 29 out. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmhowe Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Two handsome cars. I love them both. It's interesting, most people say that the classic styling achieved a peak in the 1932/33/34 time frame. I tend to agree. However, I love the look of the front end of the 1929 model, with its huge headlights. I would really appreciate your taking the time sometime to post a comparison of your driving experiences for these two. Maybe with some more pictures. Thanks for posting .

BuickTom87 Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 I’ll work on that , the 29 is a different animal completely.. since it’s doesn’t have a synchromesh trans. The 29 was a frame of restoration, so drivng this compared to the 32 which is all original is really hard to say . We also have 38 century and a 41 century. Driving the 41 compared to the 29 is like night and day . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuickTom87 Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share Posted August 20, 2023 Took the front seat out to see what was underneath. Since the previous owner hasn’t done it in over 20 years . Thought this was interesting stil had the original manufacturer tags on the car and date stamps on the frame of the seat 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30DodgePanel Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 That's a car that would look good no matter what tread was applied. Since it's so well preserved there must be a interesting story behind it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuickTom87 Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share Posted August 27, 2023 Only thing I really know about it, he bought it in 1972 from a used car dealer . He bought the car with 91000 miles , I bought it with 96k. So let’s say he put 5000 miles on the car in 50 years . It never saw rain in over 50 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuickTom87 Posted August 31, 2023 Author Share Posted August 31, 2023 Was going to take the 32 Buick out for one of the last car cruise nights in my area. How ever it was being fuzzy . So what a joy taking this car out instead . 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuickTom87 Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 So about a month ago , I had the car professionally detailed since it had some paint stains on it .

BuickTom87 Posted August 22 Author Share Posted August 22 I registered it for Hershey fall meet , hopefully everything goes well and I get to bring it there with me this year . Ordered new tires for it as well , might swap the trunk out for one slightly smaller because it’s almost impossible to fill it up with gas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
