Robberbach Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 Count me in as 43, somedays a lot older, but always wishing I was 16 again, when I bought my first car. A 1948 super, wish that I knew then what I know now, I would have kept it. But hey the 50 sedanette is a good replacement.

Guest James Conkwright Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 IM 16, My '50 Special Sedanette is 52. Hat tip 50OHYEAH? Did anyone see my car at the national?

96roadmaster Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 They are in good condition. Parking is tough, right now one is being restored, one is at home, and the other is in storage for $125 per month. Here is a dinky website I set up, although it still needs a much work.<BR> <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/rk6400/buick.html" TARGET=_blank>www.geocities.com/rk6400/buick.html</A> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 I've been reading this thread with much interest. While a BCA Board member, we spent HOURS trying to come up with some really great ideas on how to attract YOUNG Buick fans to the BCA. I've been highly encouraged to see there are several "kids" who are really into the hobby.<BR>I'm 61, and was a "late bloomer", not being into cars (particularly Buicks) until I joined the BCA in 1986 at age 45. I like to think I've made up for lost time by my involvement in local Chapter and National activities, while completely restoring a '56 Special and a '62 Skylark floptop.<BR>The greatest part of our hobby is the FAMILY atmosphere, and that's why I've always encouraged the younger folks to get involved.<BR>This thread is truly educational! Many thanks for all input so far.<BR>Bob Leets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Must be something in the Kentucky water or dirt. <B>TWO</B> teenage 50 Buick owners there. And a bunch more under 25 scattered thruout this topic- maybe this helps dispel the notion that Buick is an old man's car?<P>Guess you've noticed that this thread carried over into the AACA forum. Lots of younger folks there too, along with folks who are still young in their outlook. The hobby will survive.<P>CompactBC- you're my kinda old car guy! although most of the street racing action I see anymore involves Hondas or V8 powered S10 pickups. Every so often, I have to demonstrate to the Honda crowd how a FWD burnout is properly done. And watching their jaws hit the pavement when they see my Toronado do its thing is priceless!<BR> <p>[ 07-22-2002: Message edited by: rocketraider ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 I think its great that people of multiple generations can have so much to talk about. Classic cars are great conversation starters. I have a coworker who is 75 and we talk all the time about cars. <BR> When my 40-something boss saw my Buick in the parking lot it turned out to be a major ice-breaker between us, now we're buddy-buddy.<P>Tomsriv<BR>71 riv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 I'm 19, got my 1972 Buick Skylark when i was 16. I've recently swapped out the '77 350 that was in it when i bought the car with a 72 455 out of a Riv GS. The 16 year old has me beat though, but still, when i GOT my car i was his age lol. Not many young ones around here. Though my car is called "The Buick" in my neck of the woods. I'm usually cruising around Clio Michigan, Monday's 5-8 at Dairy Queen on Vienna Road (M-57), and Advanced Auto parts on Wednesday's 6-8 also on Vienna Road (M-57). I've got the bright porsche red Buick Skylark. Yes, that means I live no more than 20 minutes from where Buick City. I grew up here, natural that my car was built there and hauled to one of the Carolina's and brought back home. I'd like to see more younger Buick owners around here.<P>Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
