Found a 67 in the garage

Dug my 67 out of the garage this week. It has not seen the light of day for three years. It was burried under a ton of stuff, at times over the last couple years you honestly would not have known there was even a car in that stall of the garage. Wanted to check it over before Winter to make sure it was storing well. Aside from a little mildew and a mouse having a little fun, everything was still perfect. I cleaned the interior, took it on a 6 mile drive and tucked it back away. Plan on taking it on a couple outings next summer. I have owned this car since 1979, I bought it in May of 79 as my first car, and I bought it from my Grandfather who bought it new.
It brings a smile to my face and a sence of peace every time I climb in it.

 

If that's how she cleaned up,I'd say it's storing perfectly.
Beautiful Buick!

 

Thanks, actually I didn't touch the outside.

 

It looks great!
I had a Flame Orange 72 GS455 that I sold to my Mom,I loved that color :TU:

 

The Flame Orange Centurion never fails to draw a crowd.

 

Beautiful '67 - what's that on the driver's fender?

That's a factory accessory spotlight - this car is loaded with options and accessories.

 

Looks good!

 

I am sad to hear that beautiful car is hidden away.

 

OK you computer guys, is it bad to drool onto my computer keyboard? Because this 67 is causing me to make a mess on it.
That is a gorgeous 67, I love the two tone paint with no vinyl top, and the blue really is bright, original paint?. I have never seen a factory spotlight, is there a handle inside? It looks like it would be a long way from the fender light. And an auto dimmer for the headlights? That is one very special Special, just great.

Thanks, I had it painted once in 1986 in the original color "Blue Mist" and the top in it's original "Arctic White". The Spotlight has a cable that runs from a handle under the dash to the light, the head of the spotlamp will do a full 360 by rotating the knob, the bulb within the head will pivot up and down by pushing in and pulling out on the knob. The on/off switch is a round bezel down from the knob. Yes that is an auto dimmer for the headlights and it works very well. You will also see a factory 8 track player under the dash. I am getting ready to move the 8 track over to install a NOS Buick factory under dash air unit in the spring.

 

Oh now you're just showing off. :beer

 

Wow, that car looks great.:TU:
