For sure! Style was nice to look at, made a statement and helped sell vehicles.

Agreed. My buddy did a really nice job with this one. And at highway speed, there is very little wind or road noise. The original weather strips and seals are tight.

Yep, awesome Buick!
Saw it on FB.
What wrong with a little modification Haha.

You made some steps on the shop too, looks very big!
Glad you managed your bats!

I drove a '51 Buick for a few years (daily driver). That was a sweet highway machine. The straight 8 was very smooth.

I drove it from Houston to Detroit and back. Went to Mexico in it. Drove it to Colorado and went skiing.

It was a great car. Gave me no troubles.
Good memories.

Where's the hood?

Thanks Kees! No more bat droppings and I am sure they moved to one of the barns around here.

Bigdav, that sounds like a great Buick! I’ve wanted a 48 - 52 for years.

GSP7, the hood is in my buddy’s shop.

Still enjoying the additional space!
