Fritz1959 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hi, this is Markus and i´m the new one here.I´m a German and for this reason, please forgive my bad English.In 2002, i buy a 57 Special in perfekt condition from a local used car trader.It was love at the first sight! The Buick stand between all the new BMW and VW`s. His Owner died with 34 and his mother dind´t know better, to place his Buick at a used car dealer.Since this day, i drive the 57 Buick as a "all day driver".After some Engine service in the first time, the car run great- day by day. This week i disassemble the Dynaflow for installation of new band´s and bearings.I love doing this I hope, someday i understand the way, to insert photos into the text I have some photos of "German" Buick´s.sincerelyMarkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Thriller Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Welcome aboard Markus. If you haven't read it already, there is a thread that explains inserting photos - Photo Insertion Thread - you'll want to have the photos uploaded to the Internet first.It is nice to hear about your find. I'm looking forward to seeing some photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritz1959 Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 Hi Lamar,thank´s to offer your help. I start with the first step and post some pictures in the Gallery under the name: POCKETROCKET.SincerelyMarkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philippe Racicot Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Another easy way is to upload your images to http://www.imageshack.us/ You don't have to wait for the image approval (it's still a good idea to post your pictures there).Once the picture is uploaded on ImageShack, a new page opens with many links to the picture. I didn't try all the links but I know that it works if you copy the text in the "direct link to image" box on the ImageShack web site and paste it in the box that appears when you click on "Image" below "Instant UBB Code" just below the reply box of this forum.

Fritz1959 Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 @ Philippe RacicotThank´s for the Invormation. First i translate the direction into German language.@ ZoundaC12Yes indeed, we have some great Show´s in Germany and also in Netherlands and Switzerland. The U.S. 50´s & 60´s Car scene grows.Have i understood right? You´r Mother once drive a 57 Buick? Maybe it´s her old Car? My Buick was sold by Mr&Mrs. Wiedling, South Bend, IN.SincerelyMarkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K8096 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Wie Geht's Markus! Ich denke daB 1957 Buick's sind sehr schon. Ihre Buick habt viel gasoline essen, und gasoline ist nicht preiswert! Habt Sie bei der Schwartzwald gefahrt? Oder der Alps? I hoffe gut gluck mit sein Auto Sie haben! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz1959 Posted October 27, 2005 Author Share Posted October 27, 2005 @ K 8096OH!! I`m realy surprised about the German language here. Dankeschön!Oh Boy, the gasoline is very expensive in Germany. On a Turnpike the Buick need round about 15 liters for 58 miles at a moderate speed. That´s o.k.But every time i was at the Gas Station, i spare the money for food. this has two advantages: I get no overweight and the time i don´t eat, i cruisin with the Buick And yes, i was in Austria with the Buick. Remember the old slogan : the Buick " Makes any Peak a Piker" SincerelyMarkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritz1959 Posted October 29, 2005 Author Share Posted October 29, 2005 The last year, i try to finde out who was the first owner of my Buick. Maybe he´s still alive. Is there a chance to find it out? I´m sure,he will be very surprised to here, that his old car still running, in Germany!SincerelyMarkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest invicta592 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Hi Markus,I don't know if the German Transport Department works to the same methods as the UK one, but I wrote to the DVLA and requested a full vehicle history for my '59 Invicta 2dr H/T. Obviously, the only history they had was its UK owners, but they did have copies of the importation documents, which includes.... the U.S. title to the car!!Fortunately for me, the importer had purchased the car from the original owner. Sadly, the original owner, and his wife, had both passed away, so my hunt for information ended there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
