    Unfortunately, it looks like I won't be able to attend the auction this Saturday as I'll be at a car club function, but if it keeps raining, maybe not. Anyway, here's a beautiful looking car -

    Based on the trunk like dealer ornament, I'm guessing it is a local car - rebuilt 2 years ago, but I've never seen it. I could put the money together for this car, but can't justify it...sigh. One thing though is that all Specials were supposed to be 2-bbl 322s. I don't know the story on this. At minimum, I may go Friday evening to view the auction goods...there's a couple 24' enclosed trailers as well.

    Derek, do you have a link??

    I saw a yellow and black 55 or 56 Buick convert at Buffalo Bills about 3 or 4 years ago, but don't remember much else about it, such as model etc. :Do No: :Dou: Could that be the one you're thinking of??

    Thanks for digging that up Chris.:TU: I was just too tired last night for doing detective work. I don't believe I've seen that one around here before.

    Looks like a nice car, just not my style though.

    Derek, I think you are right! As far as I knew all the Specials were 2bbl. Mike D.

    Mister T - seeing as it says everything was done 2 years ago, it is likely that last year was the only year it was around in its present form. I didn't see it around, but not everyone is into the same events that I am.

    I wanted to go to the viewing tonight to take a look, but it just didn't happen. Oh well...if that car meets reserve, I'm sure it will be for more than I'd be willing to put out right now.
