    I might have mentioned it in a previous post,
    this group of young people (HS seniors or just graduated) brought this Barn Find Fresh
    '55 Buick to a Show n Shine and following Car Cruise.
    White over Black in the original paint.
    The interior was in great condition for a original car.

    On the way to the First Stop of the Cruise, they had the right rear of the ORIGINAL White Wall tires go flat.
    LOVED THESE KIDS !!
    Got the spare "Bias ply Tire" out of the trunk.
    Changed it, with the factory Jack and tools still in the trunk....
    IT STILL HAD AIR in it, well enough to hold it up!!
    Limped into a gas station, aired it up....
    CAUGHT the cruise at the Third Stop!!

    We all NEED to Congratulate and Encourage Kids like this !!! Not only for Our Hobby,
    But Kids like this are going to Solve the Problems of the Next Generation !!

    Now Only if I could find pictures of their car, I know I took plenty of them ...

    Fun find at lunch today:

    This is exactly like the first car I owned and drove (I had a '53 Studebaker but Dad wouldn't let me drive it). Mine was a '55 Special with Dynaflow and was a 2 door coupe, not hardtop though mine was cream over powder blue rather than the green - and it was not nearly this nice. This one isn't perfect mostly because the chrome needs redone but otherwise really sweet.

    I was just pointing out a "Personal Preference".
    I didn't condemn them, just was saying the curtains clashed with the carpet.
    Maybe it was the effect the owner was looking for.
    Some people like "Donks".....'63 Caprice riding on 36" wheels.
    But Glad we all get along.

    AND,.... I'm Not Opinionated!!!
    Sometimes you don't even have to Ask!...LOL

    Just like builders have the right to say; "I built it for me, I don't care what anyone else thinks", it's also okay for others to critique what they built and say; "I don't like that".

    It's okay ...

    His car, his (or her?) money. I'm OK with the wheels though not what I'd pick.

    So I stopped at the bank yesterday and spotted this across the parking lot. I didn't meet a human associated with it so no clue who owns it or what's under the hood but it sure is a pretty sucker. This shopping center is in a upscale part of town so maybe it's a rich guys plaything but that's simply a guess.

    A friend of mine has a '25. Looks like this one, but all black. He has a sign he puts in front of it: "Question 1 - 38 mph. Question 2 - 20 hp. Kids can sit in it and honk the horn."

    The black Galaxy 500 is usually parked closer to the road, I'll try to get better pictures of it soon.
