    Actually from the Bucks County area (suburb of Philadelphia).

    Awsome site, I've learned so much in only a few days. I can't get myself away from my computer.

    I'm a physics teacher, so since I'm off, you'll be hearing from me a lot during the summers.

    I don't have an extensive car ownership history (3 kids, mortgage, you know the story) but I have been around Buicks my entire life. Here is a list of Buicks that we have between myself, an uncle and aunt of mine, and my 80 something year old grandmother:

    '72 Skylark (mine) with GS emblems/hood, low compression 350 with higher lift cam and 2.5" exhaust. Just put a 4 speed in per my other posts. Buckets and new carpet up next.

    '70 GS455 4-speed convertible (numbers matching except 3.64 rear is missing). Car is currently dismantled. Originally green with white bench seet interior. No A/C.

    '72 GS455 auto stg 1 basket case discussed in another post.

    '71 Skylark 350-4bbl, auto, in storage

    '64 Skylark, 300-2bbl, auto, GN wheels look sharp on this car

    '66 Skylark, 300-2bbl, auto

    Thanks. George Eastburn

    Welcome George. You will find out you have a lot of Buick neighbors from this site. I saw a 64 with GN wheels at one of the Wildwood car shows quite a few years ago, you?

    Ernie, car is not mine, but will ask what plans my Aunt has for it.

    Doug, yes, the 64 with GN wheels is my Uncle's. He hits the Wildwood show every year. But, may have his '55 chevy this year.

    Welocime George!

    Hello Neighbor,
    I live in Delaware County, I also Have a Place (A camper) up in Berks County.
    I Hope that you will enjoy this site as much as I have! I Know that you will find a lot of Super Nice People here that are willing to help you with anything and I mean anything! From Buicks to life in general. I remember asking a question and saying in my post that "THIS MAY SOUND DUMB BUT"..... Well the response that I got back by many was that there is no DUMB question on this site! :) I Think that I can speak for many on this Site to say that we all want to help one another the best we can about our passion of Buicks and also other things! So sit back and enjoy the ride:3gears: !
    ONCE AGAIN WELCOME!!:TU:
