I am exceptionally lucky, after 6 long years to have my buick on the road. (however with recent setbacks) Here is one of them for all of you to enjoy.
:TU: Great another WV Buick :TU: Pretty soon we'll have enough around here to do our own picnic kinda thing!:bglasses: Welcome to the board, great car!
I am quite lucky to have it. My car is a 65k actual miles car bought new in Huntington, at Hez-Ward Buick. Hope to get her down for the original owner to see her some day. Where exactly in WV are you located? We are in the Parkersburg area.
3Shields, ( a name in your signature would be helpful, we are a friendly bunch here:TU: ) I'm around Beckley, not that far from you! Another member (Keith Conkle) is from Hunington! My brother's boss (WUWU20) is on here looking for parts and info for a '63 LeSabre, and there may be a few more that I can't think of right now. If you ever head this way, give us a holla! Did I mention what a great looking ride?:TU:
Thank you. If I ever figure this thing out, then I plan to post more photos on here.... but, till then....feel free to click on this link. http://www.picturetrail.com/blown502 Your friend in Huntington may know the original purchaser of my GS. His name is Robert C. Neighborgal. I have spoken with him on the phone a few times. According to Mr. N., this car has an interesting history.....of which i hope to sit with him and document someday. My father used to live in Beckley. You are nearly 2.5 hrs away from us. Pretty much the other end of the interstate. John Riley
Anywhere you go around here is pretty much "at the other end of the interstate"!:laugh: I'll check out your pics, here's a link to Keith's V8 Buick's profile page.
Hi John- Nice cars and nice shop! Wow, both are super clean. I enjoyed looking at the pics in the link you posted, also. great stuff! :TU: What is the finish you have on your shop floor???
Thank you....work hard on that hobby. I bought a product called "U-Coat It" and put it on my floor. It seems to be doing an excellent job. Go to WWW.ucoatit.com and they can give you all the colors/finishes its available it. I used the light grey and the mediteranian <sp> finish. Thanks again. John Riley
By the way.....if I had taken the picture from the other angle....you would have seen the glass front cooler completely stocked full of barley pop. I keep it that way in case another buiphile stops by in a thirsty state.
Thank you. Yes, it has had some oil on the floor. The beauty of it all is the way it is finished.....it cleans so easily. I like nice things.....
