buick5563 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 The drag about this years breakfast, was that it was so boomy in the atrium that I didn't hear the reason for Brian's "special" shirt . Roberta's shirt is hot...just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Thanks to all for the nice award. I am humbled. Sorry to have missed the breakfast, but I was out in the parking lot before 7 a.m., trying to get photos while the sun was low in the sky, and I got distracted by that unrestored 1911 Buick and several others.Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Pete, sorry I was never able to catch up with Brian for his autograph on the award. Also I failed to take a picture of the award certificate, any chance you could take one and share it with us. Glad to see you proudly wearing the shirt later in the day. You da MAN.

Booreatta Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Since all of the photos in this post are numbers, I would be the perfect time to ID some of the folks by name and forum handle. I would like to see more members of the BCA take part in the forums. So if anyone can make an imput go for it.Chuck Kerls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38Buick 80C Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Lamar et al,I do have to say I really like my "Italian stallion" version of the Buickman shirt complete with "Buick Man" shaved into the guy's chest hair...nice touch, very authentic!! j/k!!! Pete was an excellent choice and I can't thank him enough for what he does for Buick's and the BCA, BUT.....Let's give it up for Lamar (Mr Earl)!!! He deserves a really big thank you from all of us for organizing this every year. Thank you Mr Earl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the Buick Man T shirts. Especially Burta's, "Buick Woman". Sur nuf is sexy! I knew you could pull it off Lamar. Yes, Pete Phillips was an excellent choice. And yes, X one million, I also throw out my nomination for Mr. Earl for the Buick Man Award for next year. :cool: Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Thank you all for your words of appreciation and nomination for the Buickman award. Honestly though, it is reward enough just to be able to share these good times with all of you and help recognize those that do what they do to make this club what it is. Rita commented on our way home about how super nice EVERYONE was and how happy I was all the time we were there. (actually I am normally pretty quiet and don't do a lot of socializing) Can't wait til next year. Thanks again gang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kingdom Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hi! I was wondering if you can help me. This site was recommended to sell an item that I have which is a Rare Brand New Buick Tachometer for the Grand National. I just registered and am a Junior Member. Can you tell me if I am allowed to post this item for sale and if so how do I go about doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD1956 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Id like to nominate Ted Nagel- WILDCAT FANATIC AKA Wildcat65 for a 2012 Buickman award. Ted displays a wild passion for performance Buicks. See his picture in the Me and My Buick forum here: http://forums.aaca.org/f163/wildcat-garage-cincinnati-2012-a-339289.html Further it appears his collection contains several ultra rare vehicles which, thankfully, he has restored with an eye towards their original glory. Further he has been very helpful to others in various posts on this Forum and is a valued member of this community. Thank you Wildcat65! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is also working on it with his dad which is a cool thing to be able to do.

Of course, if it wasn't for all of you providing me with quality help and advice I'd be getting nowhere so thank you to all of you!

MrEarl Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) It's that time again, to shout out LAST CALL, YOU ALL. With the Buick Nationals fast approaching, we need to hear your nominations for this years Buickman Award. This award honors those who go above and beyond by unselfishly providing benefit to the BCA wholly or to other members by providing material, technical or moral support. The award will be presented at the Forumer's breakfast Friday morning in the Hilton Garden Inn at 7:00 o'clock. In looking over this last years posts, it appears we have four nominations so far. And they are.....David Corbin aka DaveCorbin - Early Buicks Numbers Guy (Posthumously) John C. De Fiore aka JohnD1956 Ted Nagel aka Wildcat65Robert (what the heck is this guys last name anyway...) aka Shadetree If you would like to nominate someone new, renominate someone already nominated in the past or make further comment on the four already nominated, please try and do so by May 30th. I will be asking previous years nominations and recipients of the award to assist in selecting this years winner. And remember folks, just to be nominated is to win Last year.... (That's me, accepting the award for Pete who was busy taking pictures for the Bugle while the light was right.)

MrEarl Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) Would a list of former winners be possible?BenNo...but I'll try. A list of "Winners" is almost impossible to draw up, due to the fact it has been so informal. In the beginning folks "nominated" someone and they were pretty much considered a Buickman. Then in Ames it got a little more formal and Buickman Awards and T-Shirts were given out. Last year was the first year that the previous years nominees and winners were asked to "vote" for one Buickman and Pete won.To date, those receiving either Awards and or T-Shirts as runner ups are:Bill StoneburgRick YoungWillie PittmanBob CokerCharles Barnett John ScheibRoberta VasilowBrian DePouliPete Philips The thing to remember though is this "To be nominated, is to win" Edited May 25, 2013 by MrEarl (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) As much as I love you Buick Brothers that are still with us... David Corbin, who I met, talked with, and emailed from time to time, spent many thousands of countless hours deciphering the Buick numbering system, and could date the Buick automobiles withing a month of production, really deserves this one. I stood and watched him unroll his huge chart, and heard him explain about it, and it was simply facinating. Hats off to David Corbin. All of us Buick Brotheres are indepted to him for a grand job well done. Least we not forget. To put it simply, the dude was cool. :cool: I wish he was still with us to accept the award.
