Hey Mino,

First - your English is pretty darn good, so no worries.
Second - WELCOME!
Third - You found it! This is the best place to find out what you need to know to keep that great car on the road!

Best Wishes,

 

Cool story Mino! After a few more posts on the board, you should put some pictures up so we can see your car!

 

Welcome!
I would also say that your English is plenty good.
Look forward to seeing pictures of the car.

 

Salut Mino et bienvenu. On est tres content de te voir ici.

Keep us updated on your Buick!

 

Welcome Mino!

I am near Washington DC.
That dealer name does not sound familiar.(not that it matters)

 

Welcome to the board, Mino!

And no worries, your English is better than my French :grin:
Cool car! I would love to see some pictures!

 

Mino, good to see you here as well:

Here's a photo of Mino's Electra:

 

Welcome Mino. The big Buick boats are the best! I looked on the web and there was a Caithness Buick Inc. located in Bethesda Maryland, which is near Washington DC.

Here are other pics of Mino's Electra:

 

hi
yes ,it's pics of my car,I see some of you are very speedy to find it :TU:
As you can see,the color is a bit unusual,the previous owner painted it like this,and some of members of my club call it "the ingot" :laugh: not easy to stay incognito ,but not easy to stay incognito with such a full size p The original paint is Saddle mist poly

Rob,it's probably that dealer where was purchased my car in 1966 but I suppose that it doesn't exist anymore.

Some dtails on my carowered with 401 nailead and super turbine 400
many options:
custom trim
tinted glass
power windows
4 ways power bench seats
trunk release
power antenna
AM/FM radio
rear speaker
rear defroster
remote mirror
door edge guard
cruise control
I don't have to say that driving that car is a BIG PLEASURE every day
That's all for today

 

"mino56":



Please put your name in your signature, we're all here on a friendly first name base :TU:

Département 56, that's Bretagne.

This Buick dealers chart says that Caithness Buick was only active in 1965, so it looks like that dealership is long gone.

Thanks Erik for posting pics :TU:
Yes I live in BRETAGNE,"the far west" of FRANCE
Maybe it's because we are more closer from USA ,there is a lot of US cars in bretagne p
I have the original title of my car,is there any information on it to find where this car has been bought exactly?

 

U need a lot of oars to paddle that boat! Good thing u can put a bunch in the trunk! If u need extra oars let me know! :laugh:

 

Yeah,

Let's confuse a foreign board member by using "U" instead of "you".....:TU:

 

as you say Todd,a bunch or the cadaver of my mother in law like in the gangster movies

 

FUNNY! U don't get along with your mother in law? :eek2:

 

no trouble with her,she's already dead ou:

now I will write some idiot post because of I can't post pics before ten posts
