Just wanted to update you Opponauts on the Buick. Throw in a few pictures.

Order of date on pics is May 1, May 22, May 28 of this year.

Getting some good attention, good vibes. Haven’t seen anything like it since I got it. I don’t think there are many on the roads anymore.

Gave it a bit of a clean. Did a little work to it, but still a few little things I want on it sorted out. Don’t plan on getting too fancy with it (yet). But I am getting the black trunk crud painted next week (so in 10 days, it will be much better).

Open to questions.

Oh god I love this car. This sort of yacht is on my short list for whatever my second car is going to me. My shortlist is not short, though....

It’s excellent. Absolutely perfect. I say this as a Buick owner who got trashed on the FP for admitting it.

Well done. Lovely.

And 7.5mpg combined!

The decimal is important ;)

What Cletus44 said. Big Block 455 w/ Rochester 4 BBL carb. Tough old engine.
