Guest Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Was the 54 Roadmaster convertible previously penned in the magazine Hemmings Classic Cars judged at Batavia? If so, how did it do? I re-read the article because it was a classic tale of a 10 year struggle to bring an old car back. There are a lot of good ideas and tips in there - and it mentions taking it to Batavia at the end of the article.ThanksBryan Moran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I know the car was there, in the judged class. I didn't hear if it got an award.IT was a super car in real life. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5476C Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Yes, it was judged. It received a Gold Senior and then the Jeff Brashares Award, for the highest scoring Post WWII Buick. 399 of 400 pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jscheib Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 And you might mention, it was driven across MA anmd NY, not trailered.And it is an even better sight cruising along the road.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Wow, that takes guts to be that judge but it's only one point, which is appropriate. There would be a standard for grease I guess from the factory. That is a beautiful car. I look at my issue of Hemmings Classic Car with taht write up, all the time.

FireballV8 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I to saw that car in Flint and that was a very poor decision to deduct a point from that car for excessive grease especially after it was driven a good distance. That's a Beautiful Buick.I am doing a 55 convert in a color similar to yours, but I believe yours is Cavalier blue, the 55 color is colonial blue metallic. Currently the frame is completed and running, the body is painted and awaiting to be placed back on the frame, hopefully this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
