Guest Dans 77 Limited Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 It was nice weather today, Im off work with whiplash, the battery was charged & my son needed picked up from preschool,life is good . After spending the last couple of months beating around in an old Cavalier , I forgot how nice the Electra really is. Rode & drove like I had her out yesterday. Its hard for me to believe that this car was built in the late 70s when quality control was supposedly at its worst. Can hardly wait for spring !!!!. Sorry I know its not much of a topic but I had to share it & I figured the place on the web where Buicks are appreciated the most would be the most logical choice !!!<P>Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Guy Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 My wife and I went out to dinner yesterday in our 57 . If I had not driven it we would not have seen our Granddaughter and her fiancee and would have eaten alone. They spotted us on the off ramp and followed us to the restaurant<p>[ 02-15-2002: Message edited by: The Old Guy ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave@Moon Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 Almost 60 degrees here today. The only thing I had out was my radio (overhauling it). I hate when the weather's schedule doesn't match mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuickNut Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Ya know, I haven't gotten to my Buicks yet, but have the old '67 "ford" (..I know - DUCK !!!) that IS drivable at this point - every time I get her out for the first time every year - I just start laughing and smiling as I go down the road. Its a feeling you just can't get with the newer cars. I'm hoping to get my Caddy on the road this summer so I can then start on my '49 Super. Now THAT is really the car I'm looking forward to getting on the road. It WOULD have been next except for the fact the Caddy in in the garage now and the '49 Buick is still back home in storage in a barn. Hey, the driving and the high that goes with it is the main reason to have the cars to begin with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 It has been unseasonably warm here in TN lately and all of this talk of cruising is making me antsy. Unfortunately all of my old cars are either in storage or under restoration. My 72 Electra and my 66 Fleetwood limo are in storage about an hour from my home. My 72 Sedan Deville is in the garage stripped and getting ready for a fresh coat of paint and a new vinyl top. My 65 Eldorado is recieving some mechanical work in my garage. Therefore I have no old cars to cruise in. I am tempted to get the Electra out to drive but as soon as I do we will get winter weather. I guess I will just have to be patient and wait for spring.
