Car Tawk

[Gandalfe]

What a sweet ride! Hey, I usually say that about Saxes.

I think I'd rather have a Riveria, or, one of the largest cars I've ever seen, an Electra 225.

Again, those two Regals I owned were two of the best I ever had. Of course, they're about half the size of the '69 Riveria or Electra ....

I definitely agree with Gandalfe: nice lookin' ride.

Thanks guys. I promised Ed that I would post a pic when I attended this show back in '08, so I guess the four year delay makes me the king of procrastination!

I've owned the car since 1978, so it's really become a member of the family.

We've just now returned from showing the car last weekend at a BCA regional meet at Troy, NY where we were parked next to a '73 or '74 boattail Riv, and the best of show award was won by a '59 Electra 225 convertible, the first year of the Electra nameplate.

Our most memorable show was the 2003 BCA National at Flint, Mich (Buicktown), where 2000 old Buicks showed up to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Buick. Buicks came from all 50 states, plus a few from Europe, and I met a couple who drove their 1931 Buick roadster all the way from Seattle Washington! The camaraderie amongst the Buick people was wonderful to experience!
